By candlelight, the black veil is crimson, and the crested rockhopper is beautiful.

-"Wake up the world, Zhang Tingxiu fled to save his father"

When you get married, wearing a pure white wedding dress is beautiful, but in the final analysis, the wedding dress is the crystallization of western culture, which has gradually taken root in people's hearts from China culture. China people also choose more Chinese weddings, wearing red Chinese dresses and A Jin's Shanshan headdress to enter the marriage hall.

Nowadays, many people call the Chinese dress when they get married a crowned summer dress. Is it a crowned lower iron? What is the real phoenix under the iron?

According to "Shilin Guangji Clothing Category", "During the Jin Yongjia period, the princess was stunned and made to take it." Thus, there were prostitutes in the Jin Dynasty.

It can be seen from the records of some murals handed down from ancient times that women like to use silk as decoration in various occasions after Sui and Tang Dynasties. People think this kind of clothes is as beautiful as rosy clouds, so it is called "getting off the iron".

In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi described it as "wearing a colorful coat and a summer coat, shaking the crown step by step".

In the Song Dynasty, it was a hard and fast rule that Xiabi could not wear it unless the emperor gave it, otherwise it was ultra vires, so Xiabi's status rose instantly and became an integral part of ladies' clothing.

"Song Shi Yu Fu Zhi" records: "Special agents, empresses, big sleeves, colored collars, long skirts, robes, jade pendants."

The so-called "uniform" does not refer to daily clothes, but to formal dresses that should be worn in various ceremonial occasions other than national ceremonies. They can also distinguish grades according to costumes, colors, patterns and patterns.

The crested rockhopper is made of silk screen, and the crest is mainly decorated with dragons and phoenixes. The dragon is welded by gold wire superposition process, which is hollow and full of three-dimensional sense. It is a common ornament for harem concubines, decorated with emerald phoenix and hung with jewelry tassels. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, it became the prescribed dress for court empresses.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two forms of crests: one was worn by empresses and the crown was decorated with dragons and phoenixes; The other is a colorful crown worn by ordinary women, which has only beads and flowers, but no dragons and phoenixes, but it is also called rockhopper (after all, the use of dragons and phoenixes in ancient times is still relatively strict).

The easiest way to judge the level of rockhopper is to count the number of rockhoppers on her head.

Step 3 get off the iron

Xiabi, also known as "Xiabi" or "Pisilks", is named for its gorgeous color like rosy clouds. It is shaped like two colorful exercises with pictures printed on them. Wear it around your neck, hang it on your chest and hang a gold pendant.

In the tomb of Huangsheng in the Southern Song Dynasty in Fujian, there is a real object in Xiaguan in the Song Dynasty, which is two slender strips embroidered with flower patterns. One end of the long strip is connected with a sharp corner to form a "V" shape. Put two long belts on your shoulders and sew them on the back of your neck. One pointed end hangs in front of you, and a round gold or jade pendant is dropped as a decoration.

Therefore, Shimonoseki is not a dress, but an ornament symbolizing status and rank, not a synonym for wedding clothes. There are three main ways to wear a Xiaguan: first, as a uniform for harem concubines; The second is the dress of married women (the mother and wife of officials) ordered by the court; The third is the wedding clothes of civilian women when they get married.

I won't go into the first two. The third kind of civilian woman is not trespassing when she gets married and wears a coat. There is also a short story about Song Gaozong.

4. Zhejiang women are the best kings.

Legend has it that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, nomads invaded the south, and Kang Wang abandoned the south and fled. When he was chased to Xidian Qianjin Village, he was saved by a girl. Kang Wang gave her a red handkerchief and promised the girl, "Today next year, I will marry you. Then all you have to do is wave a red handkerchief on the ridge, and I will know you. "

After Kang Wang acceded to the throne, he went to marry the girl as promised, but he couldn't find it anywhere. He had to give up. In order to repay the favor, he decreed: "Zhejiang women are kings!" " Let the girls wear long gowns when they get married and enjoy the special treatment of half-driving and half-driving.

From then on, when girls became brides, they all wore a robe, a scarlet robe and a scarlet skirt. At the same time, they don't forget to cover their faces with the red square towel presented by Kang Wang. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation until now, and people of all ages know it. This is the story of "Zhejiang women do their best to seal the king".

However, even among the people, the rockhopper is a symbol of status and a privilege to marry a wife, and concubines are not qualified to wear it at all. Tsui Hark's Money Clothes in Qing Dynasty records: "A bride must wear a crown robe to show her wife, not her concubine."

Although it is difficult to see the real phoenix crown and robe in the modern Hanfu after historical evolution, the expectations of the couple for a beautiful marriage are the same. I hope the girls can marry their sweetheart, wearing a rockhopper and a phoenix robe.
