It is different from the big red hijab and sedan chair in traditional weddings in China. The collective wedding takes the form of Chinese weekly wedding.
What is a Chinese-style weekly wedding? This is a wedding ceremony in the Han Dynasty based on the Zhou ceremony. Generally, people who hold weddings wear Hanfu.
What is Zhou Li? Anyone who has read The Romance of Gods knows that the Emperor of Zhou destroyed Shang Zhouwang. Since then, Zhou began to implement the household quota system. The eldest son inherits the family business, and all other sons can get a piece of land. Therefore, the relationship between father and son, father and son, and brothers will be related to the stability among vassal States. When people are scattered, it is difficult to lead a team. There must be a way to control everyone.
Zhou Gongdan has formulated a complete system of rites and music. From eating, offering sacrifices to weddings and funerals, it can be said that it is a one-stop train from birth to death. At that time, the vassal States often intermarried, and the wedding also involved cooperation and in-laws between the two vassal States, so the wedding system was relatively complete.
Just as modern western weddings originated in the court, wearing white gauze was invented by Queen Victoria. If you want a traditional wedding in China with the most antique and ceremonial feeling, it must be a Chinese-style weekly wedding following the marriage system of princesses and princes in vassal countries. Who is not the little princess?
Strictly speaking, weekly weddings can be divided into pre-marital ceremonies such as accepting gifts, asking names, Najib, accepting gifts and inviting dates, and can also be divided into formal weddings and post-marital ceremonies. But generally speaking, everyone is talking about a suitable wedding.
Regarding the formal wedding, Bian Xiao will take this collective wedding as an example to tell you.
Look at the clothes first
In ancient China, Jin Mu's five virtues of fire, water and soil were emphasized, and Qin Shuide continued until the early Han Dynasty, which was still black. The Eastern Han Dynasty regarded it as a continuation of the Western Han Dynasty, a fire virtue and a respect for red. So in the Qin and Han dynasties, red and black have always been popular colors. For this group wedding, I chose Hanfu with red and black colors. Walking at the forefront of fashion in Han Dynasty.
The bride wears curves and the groom wears straight lines, which are all classic styles of Hanfu. Moreover, the Hanfu they wear is right-handed, that is, the left front cover is tied under the right armpit. In ancient times, only ethnic minorities were left-handed, and left-handed people were regarded as barbarians. Only the dead will be left-handed to show the difference between yin and yang. If you wear it wrong, the big day will be awkward.
For such an important matter, there are still many costume dramas in the wrong direction. Have you considered the feelings of actors?
In ancient times, men had to hold a formal ceremony to get married, so the groom was crowned.
The costume of the whole group wedding can be described in three words, there is nothing wrong.
Look at the wedding link again:
1, women become gifts.
The groom bowed to the bride three times, and the bride reciprocated three times, and walked into the auditorium hand in hand.
In ancient times, three obeisances and three concessions were welcome ceremonies, which were recorded in the three ceremonies.
The bride and groom welcome each other with three bows and three concessions.
This road is a good marriage, reflecting the Xuan Xia Xuan;
Accompany * * * to grow old together and live in harmony for a hundred years;
Husband and wife respect each other and give in to each other.
2. Newcomers and seats
Newcomers sit opposite each other, also called opposite seats. The position of the opposite seat, male in the west and female in the east, indicates that Yin and Yang will gradually come.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sit together and sit on something.
Yin and Yang meet, calm, calm and peaceful.
3, the gift of washing
Wash your hands with water. Lying and washing had existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and people in the Zhou Dynasty had to do this when offering sacrifices to show their solemnity.
In this collective wedding, the bride and groom also washed their hands and faces together and smoked incense with Boshan furnace.
Jade dew mirror wave, clean hands;
Aquilaria is wrapped in clothes and bound by dust;
Hand in hand with humility and treat Boshan with courtesy.
4. Prison-sharing ceremony
When the ancient emperors offered sacrifices to the country, three kinds of animals, namely cattle, sheep and tapir (shǐ, pig), were called "Tai Prison", and only sheep and pig had lower specifications and were called "Shao Prison". So the same prison means that newlyweds eat the same meat. The ancients said, "Men and women sit at different seats at the age of seven and can't eat." The ceremony of sharing prison means that from now on, a couple will eat at the same table and share joys and sorrows.
Ancient religion teaches itself, and both men and women are considerable;
When I was a child, I played on the same couch, and the sun and the moon alternated;
Seven years old, can't eat at the same table;
Eat the meat of an animal today and get married together.
After having dinner together, return the "_" link. The so-called "_" refers to gargling with wine after eating, which is also a kind of eating etiquette.
When you first enter the wine, you must follow the child.
Time into the wine, children * * * food.
After drinking, I will grow old with my son.
5. Wedding ceremony
Couples get married when they have a drink. Note-they just exchange cups instead of drinking hand in hand like many misleading costume dramas. This wedding is divided into "first cup, change, second cup, get married". The original meaning of combination is to break the melon in half and then combine it into one. Divide into two parts and hold the wine separately. At first, we used melon, but now it is changed to gourd, which means blessing. So the husband and wife * * * drank wine, symbolizing that husband and wife are one and together forever.
Fulu is the original, divided into 30 pieces;
Although you know you are bitter, you deserve rice wine;
The red line is connected and married for a long time;
Drinking alternately makes the couple * * * bitter or sweet.
6. Pei's gift _
Pei refers to the jade ornaments on the body, and the ribbon refers to the ribbon used to hang the printed Pei.
"Pei" means that the newlyweds will take it off and put it on each other's waist to show two of a kind.
Jade is pure and clear, like water and self-evident;
Jade makes a gentleman, and jade reflects wisdom.
Exchange tokens, as evidenced by heaven and earth.
Clans are like mirrors, and a good marriage is concluded.
7. Xie Ying Ceremony
At the wedding, the groom personally untied the red "tassel" on the bride's bun and held it high in the air for all the guests to show the consent of the bride's relatives and friends. Then the groom ties the tassel around his waist, indicating that the bride has been married, and the bride has been a member of the groom's family since then.
A lifetime agreement is always good.
The harp is in the palace, and the years are quiet.
In this life, Qi Mei took this case.
Hold your hand and grow old together.
In this life, Qi Mei took this case.
The clock of love, never give up
Be husband and wife and love each other.
May god grant me love; Till death do us part
8. Hold hands and swear.
The groom's palms are up, the bride's palms are down, and the vows are read hand in hand to show that the vows will never change.
Holding hands with one heart, instant eternity,
Heaven and earth learn from each other, and vows of eternal love.
After the oath, the host announced that "Ding You got married on the first day of the first month _!"
Look at the whole ceremony. Do you have any questions? Why is there no memorial ceremony?
At the weekly wedding, couples have no ceremony to pay tribute. Only in the Song Dynasty did the ritual of worshipping the church become popular. Sima Guang said in the Book of Rites: "In ancient times, there were no instruments to pay homage to married women. Today, the ancestors of the secular world saw it, and it is reasonable to pay homage. Cannot be abolished. " In addition to paying homage to husband and wife, there were also ceremonies to pay homage to heaven and earth in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, first to pay homage to heaven and earth, then to pay homage to parents in-laws and finally to pay homage to husband and wife. This is a three-worship ceremony handed down today.
Some people may ask, didn't you pay attention to married couples in ancient times? Why not cut off both husband and wife's hair and put it away together?
Because the ceremony of tying hair is controversial. Some etiquette experts believe that knot-making and knot-making ceremony are different.
Before adulthood, boys, girls and children all have loose hair, and only when they reach adulthood will their hair be twisted into a ball-that is, knotted. Therefore, the ancients regarded knot hair as the first time in life, and "knot hair couple" refers to the original couple.
What is a hair-tying ceremony? The ancients thought that "hair is blood" and hair is the continuation of blood. Therefore, when one of the original husband and wife dies unfortunately, the living will cut off a piece of their own hair and the hair of the deceased and tie it together to commemorate it, which is called "tying a bun". In addition, the ceremony of tying a bun also evolved into a form of private life for men and women in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, China's wedding ceremony has always been taboo, especially the scissors for cutting hair, which will make people think of mass annihilation.
So many Chinese weddings, and this project.
From the collective wedding of 360 Company, we can see that the real weekly wedding in Han Dynasty was not a simple COSPLAY wedding, but was based on the ritual and music system in China for thousands of years. Although the whole ceremony follows the ancient ceremony, it is the same as the essence of love and marriage that we pursue in modern times.
For example, couples sitting at the same table, eating in jail and drinking together are all reminding the equality between husband and wife. Three respects and three concessions reflect a husband's respect for his wife. Take the oath hand in hand, reflecting the loyalty of love.
It can be seen that since ancient times, everyone's pursuit of marriage is the same. Therefore, many traditional cultures are becoming more and more popular in today's society, just like the Zhou wedding in China. The more traditional, the more classic and the more fashionable.
