In ancient times, men wore wedding clothes. In ancient times, they had to wear wedding dresses. In ancient times, women wore cocktail dresses, which were named phoenix ornaments. Do you know what to teach men? Let's share the wedding clothes of ancient men and have a look.

Ancient men liked to wear 1 clothes when they got married. Men's clothes are called hanfu.

When a commoner gets married, she can enjoy the honor of being a married woman, just as a man in Shu Ren can wear a nine-grade official uniform. It is said that the red wedding dress originated from the precedent of quasi-Shu Ren wearing a crimson gauze robe, probably around the Tang Dynasty.

But in fact, until the Song Dynasty, the wedding dresses of maids were still blue. The appearance of "Zhen Hong Duijin Sleeve Shirt+Guan Feng Xiaguan" in Ming Dynasty is quite certain. This wedding dress style, which originated very late, is now understood by Chinese people as a Chinese wedding dress and is deeply rooted.

In ancient times, regardless of rank and gender, clothing was divided into two parts, with clothes on the top and skirts on the bottom. Later generations called clothing "clothing", which was derived from it. The waist and sleeves of its clothing are basically tight and narrow, knee-length and easy to move. It was in the Shang Dynasty that the costume characteristics of ancient Chinese Hanfu were formed, with the upper opening and the lower closing, and the right collar and tie.

Hanfu in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties did not really exist. According to the jade articles and stone statues unearthed from Houjiazhuang Tomb and Muhao Tomb in Anyang, it can be known that the nobles in Shang Dynasty wore collar clothes, a gentry belt around their waist, a petticoat under them, and a city (covering their knees) in front of their abdomen. There are few figures left over from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Judging from the jade and bronze humanoid car unearthed in Luoyang, clothes, dresses, belts and markets are still the basic components of aristocratic men's wear.

Its clothes are positive color and middle color, pay special attention to the market in front of the clothes. According to the bronze inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wang often gave clothes at the registration ceremony, such as "Zhu Shi, scallion yellow" (Mao), "Shi, Huang" (Xun Gui) and so on.

In ancient literature, Cheng and Huang refer to "balance", which refers to knee covering, and "balance" refers to a whole set of accessories including jade binding group and jade pieces. The figurines unearthed from Changtaiguan in Xinyang, Henan Province and Jin 'an in Jiangling, Hubei Province belong to Yu Pei in front of their bellies. On the other hand, under the rule of Yu Pei, nobles were highlighted with special colors, thus becoming a symbol representing their status.

The evolution from China traditional wedding dress to wedding dress is a very long process. The traditional Chinese wedding in China is festive, comprehensive and special, so it is loved by many new people. Let's follow me to experience the evolution from traditional wedding dresses in China to western wedding dresses.

According to legend, the earliest marriage etiquette in China began with Fu's marriage and Nu Wa's matchmaking. It is said that in ancient times, floods flooded almost all people and animals in the world, leaving only Fuxi and Nuwa. Venus asked them to get married and have children, but they thought they were brother and sister and refused to agree.

But if not, mankind will be extinct. They suggested that they could get married if the bamboo cut into many sections could be connected again. Later, bamboo was really connected and a lot of bamboo joints were planted. Still unwilling, the two proposed to roll down two sets of stone mills from two mountains, and if the stone mills can roll together, they can get married. But when the stone mill was put together again, they still refused to agree. Nu Wa has another idea. If Fuxi can catch up with herself, she can get married.

As a result, Fuxi never caught up with Nuwa. A turtle taught Fuxi to catch up from the other side of the mountain in the opposite direction. Nu Wa was unprepared and was suddenly held in her arms by Fuxi. The two had to get married. Because of the marriage between Fuxi and Nuwa, it was passed down to later generations.

Before Han dynasty

China's wedding custom has formed six ceremonies since the Zhou Dynasty, and the procedures are: accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, inviting guests and welcoming relatives. Na is the proposal; Ask the woman's name; Najib is divination; Taxation to pay the bride price; The invitation period is the fixed wedding date; Welcome the bride.

Happy clothes in Han dynasty

There are the following kinds of clothes in Han Dynasty: straight tube, curved tube and skirt tube. Both men and women wore it in the Han dynasty, but this kind of clothing can't be used as a formal dress. So we focus on colorful deep clothes, which men can wear, but they are also common clothes for women. This kind of women's dress is tight on the top and narrow on the bottom, long and mop the floor, and the hem is generally trumpet-shaped, which fully shows the gentleness and elegance of women. Sleeves are wide and narrow, and cuffs are mostly wrapped. The collar is a cross collar, and the neckline is very low to expose underwear. In the Han dynasty, the new "triple clothes" were worn, that is, several layers of collars were exposed when wearing a few clothes.

In the Han dynasty, the wedding began to be lively. Xuan Di, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, issued a letter announcing the legality of the wedding ceremony. Just getting married at dusk, the custom of saluting Lu Qing has not changed. Before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the wedding ceremony was called "Lu Qing to show respect".

At that time, the groom's lower skirt was edged with black, all his attendants were dressed in black, and the carriage for the wedding ceremony was painted black. And at dusk, there is no drum music and no congratulations from relatives and friends. Because in the concept of the ancients, women belong to the yin, and dusk means "the sun is gone, and the yin is coming", and everything in the wedding is in line with the meaning of welcoming the yin into the house.

The Tang Dynasty liked to wear clothes.

In the historical period of the Tang Dynasty, people who married their wives hung colorful lights, beaming with joy, and never saw a trace of darkness again. Some weddings have also been moved to the morning. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the bride's dress formed a crown robe, a red veil, a red robe embroidered on her upper body, a heavenly palace lock on her neck, a mirror hanging on her chest, and a rosy glow on her shoulders. I'm wearing a red skirt, red pants and red embroidered shoes. The groom also wears a red, red crown and a red robe. Everything at the wedding was red. Red lights, red candles, red sedan chairs, red happy characters, loud gongs and drums, jubilant crowds, and the groom holding red silk seem to form an unchanging wedding scene.

Xifu in Song Dynasty

Feudal dynasties in China had strict dress systems, and only concubines and maids were allowed to wear crested rockhoppers. Why can private women wear it when they get married? Legend has it that King Kang of the Southern Song Dynasty was related to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. The content of the story is basically the same, all because the emperor was saved by a civilian in danger. After the emperor ascended the throne, he chartered a commoner to wear a crowned gown and sit in a sedan chair carried by four people when they got married.

On the basis of the Tang Dynasty, some new customs appeared in the wedding ceremony of the Song Dynasty. Because of the relatively developed commodity economy, when discussing marriage, we began to take care of our daughter-in-law and share wealth. A daughter-in-law is a blind date. The man and the woman agreed on a date to meet. If you are in the middle, you can insert a gold hairpin on a woman's bun, which is called "inserting a hairpin". If you don't like it, send colorful satin, which is called "shocking the world"

At the wedding, the groom leads the float or sedan chair to the woman's house, and the wedding begins with the sedan chair. After the bride gets on the sedan chair, there is also the custom of asking for lucky money and holding a wedding reception. Came to the door of the man's house, the bride came down, and there was a practice of "scattering corn beans" for good luck. After the bride enters the church, there is a "visit to the church" activity. Newlyweds hold "concentric knot", which was called "hug towel" in Song Dynasty. The newlyweds hold towels to worship the heavens and the earth and their ancestors first, and then enter the bridal chamber, where the husband and wife pay homage. After the worship, the couple sat on the bed and had a ceremony of "spreading the account" and "tying the bun".

A bun is a knot that each newlywed cuts off a strand of hair and forms as a symbol of the wedding. After that, there will be a ceremony of picking flowers and fanning them until the candles go out. During the time when the candles are out, guests, old and young, can play practical jokes and make things difficult for new people. This is the predecessor of our "noisy bridal chamber" now. The next morning, the newlyweds paid New Year greetings to their in-laws and the wedding was over.

Happy Clothing in Yuan Dynasty

Since the Yuan Dynasty was the era when China ethnic minorities were in power, and the ruling class came from the vast Mongolian grassland, the wedding ceremony inevitably had some characteristics of this ethnic minority. Generally speaking, the ruling class also continued the established system of the previous dynasty to manage. "The way of human relations begins with couples, the foundation of couples, and marriage itself" is regarded as the marriage view of people in Yuan Dynasty, which is the expression of China's marriage view in Yuan Dynasty.

However, it is worth mentioning that monogamy formed by Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty also showed certain performances in this era. Due to ethnic and religious beliefs and other issues, more Han women marry ethnic minorities, while fewer Han people marry ethnic minorities, and Mongolian nobles are forbidden to marry Han people.

Xifu in Ming dynasty

Due to the development of commodity economy in Ming Dynasty, the marriage custom has also changed. Guan Feng Xiatie and Jiupin official dress are standard wedding dresses in Ming Dynasty. Fang hired a sedan chair and played and sang in the afternoon to carry the bride to the woman's house, which was hosted by "three teas". At the same time, the woman's family should look up and down in the sedan chair with a mirror. Then light a small set of firecrackers and put them in the sedan chair, which is called "searching the sedan chair" to drive away the monsters that may be hidden in the sedan chair. Then the bride puts on new shoes, supported by the bride or carried by her brother or younger brother.

When the sedan chair set out, the whip exploded, and the groom wore a champion hat, a dragon and phoenix red robe and a big red flower around his waist to marry the bride and boarded the sedan chair. This process seems familiar. Most wedding ceremonies in costume TV dramas refer to weddings of this era.

Xi fu in Qing dynasty

Weddings in Qing dynasty are generally the inheritance of weddings in Ming dynasty. (In the second year of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu implemented the system of shaving and changing clothes. The Qing government accepted Jin Zhijun's suggestion of "ten don't obey", one of which was "being an official but not marrying", that is, the marriage custom followed the Han tradition. Therefore, the wedding dress of the Han nationality in Qing Dynasty is still the same as that in Ming Dynasty. The Qing government adopted a lot of enlightened policies in the early stage, so most of the folk cultures of the previous dynasties were preserved, and most of the folk marriage customs were the same as those of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is different for the ruling class. According to the regulations of the Qing government, there are five satin dresses, three satin plates, one gold collar, one gold hairpin and earrings, one official ceremony, four satin dresses, and the rest are the same; Second, three satin dresses, two satin quilts, the rest with a crystal officer, and four satin dresses, one satin quilt and one gold collar, all of which are gold earrings.

Then the emperor's wedding is naturally not included, and the complexity of the process is extraordinary. However, the habit of beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers to lift sedan chairs on the wedding day is still widely supported and recognized by the public, and it has continued to this day, so that when we mention ancient weddings, we will think of rockhopper robes, red colors and so on. However, it is a tradition of China people to use red to represent happy events. If modern innovative elements are incorporated, it will be more easily accepted by young people.

Ancient men like to wear 30% clothes of their relatives when they get married. In ancient times, it was called iron under the crown. Refers to the clothes that old rich women showed their glory when they got married.

Rockhopper: Named after decorated with phoenix. Phoenix is the king of birds, so only the queen or princess deserves it. Usually it is only worn at grand celebrations, such as weddings, and ordinary people can't wear it at all.

Bi: Originated in Ming Dynasty, it is characterized by big collar and double-breasted robes, so it is also called double-breasted robes. Besides, it is a luxurious and unrestrained casual dress with split sleeves.

In China traditional operas, Kui has always been the official costume of emperors, generals, officials and gentry. There are differences between men and women, and the colors are dividend, blue, yellow, crimson, purple, pink and sky blue, among which red is the representative color of wedding or celebration.

The traditional wedding dress of ancient brides is a post with a feather crest: wearing a feather crest, a red veil on her face, a red silk shirt on her upper body, an embroidered red robe, a magic mirror hanging on her chest, a post on her shoulder, a children's bag on her shoulder and a "silver hand" wrapped around her arm;

Wearing a red skirt, red trousers and red satin embroidered shoes, I look charming, red, brilliant red and beaming. Let's take a look at this domineering phoenix.

The rockhopper is a kind of ceremonial crown with barbed wire as the tire, decorated with a small emerald phoenix and a jewelry tassel. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has become the prescribed dress of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Empress.

There are two kinds of crowns in Ming dynasty, one is worn by empresses, and the crown is decorated with dragons besides phoenixes. The other is the colorful crown worn by ordinary women, which is not decorated with dragons and phoenixes, but only with beaded flowers, but also called rockhopper.

Empresses in the Ming Dynasty and wives of Jiupin civil servants can wear them, and their colors, patterns, decorations and materials are different according to their status levels.
