When it comes to marriage, of course, I think of wedding dresses. Wedding dresses have been circulating since ancient times, and wedding dresses in different times are constantly changing and have undergone a long evolution.
Zhou Dynasty: Pure clothes. This is a black dress, yellow and black. Because getting married in the Zhou Dynasty is a very serious matter, unlike now, it is very festive, so the wedding dress of the Zhou Dynasty is serious black.
Qin and Han Dynasties: Black wedding dress. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, as in the Zhou Dynasty, wedding dresses were all black, such as the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and so on. The wedding dresses worn by officials' wives are all made of deep clothes, just like dresses, and the clothes are connected with the bottom. In the Han Dynasty, twelve colors of silk were used as wedding dresses, and people of different identities wore different colors.
Tang Dynasty: Men and Women. In the Tang dynasty, marriage was no longer as serious as in the Zhou dynasty, and there was a festive atmosphere. The color changed to red and green, and the style of clothes also changed. A long-sleeved skirt has many layers, and then a coat is put on it. What kind of gold and silver ornaments should women bring? Strangely enough, in the eyes of modern people, red and green are a wonderful color combination.
Song Dynasty: Same as Tang Dynasty. There is only a small difference. Children of officials can wear uniforms with nine hoes, while people wear round neck clothes. The bride is still the same after the two corners are folded.
Yuan dynasty: national characteristics. Does the wedding dress in Yuan Dynasty have Mongolian characteristics? Drying clothes? The shorter robe is tight and has many folds at the waist. If it is a noble, it is different. You still have a long and wide type and a hat with national characteristics on your head.
Ming dynasty: phoenix crown and palace. This is what we are familiar with.
Qing dynasty: cheongsam. The Qing dynasty also inherited the style of official robes, with red as the main color and cheongsam-shaped wedding clothes.
Republic of China: Western style. After closing the door to the outside world, western-style weddings entered our sight, so today's wedding dresses, veils, suits and other styles appeared.
