The bride's dress is very exquisite, which can be said to be the most brilliant moment in a woman's life. After modern times, urban men and women get married, and brides mostly wear tulle and long white dresses to mop the floor, followed by two children. This is the result of the influence of European and American wedding customs.
The traditional costume of a folk bride is a rockhopper gown: wearing a rockhopper gown, covering her face with a red square scarf, wearing a red silk shirt, an embroidered red robe on her coat, a neck collar, a magic mirror on her chest, a gown on her shoulders, a children's bag on her shoulders, and her arms around her? Fixed hand silver? ; Wearing a red skirt, red trousers and red satin embroidered shoes, I look charming, red, brilliant red and beaming. This kind of bride dress has a long history, that is, in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary Han women still wore this traditional dress to get married, and never wore flags to get married. Until the early 1960s, rural girls also wore this traditional bridal costume when they got married. Now some middle-aged women in their fifties talk about marriage and describe with relish how they wear wedding dresses and how beautiful they are when they get married. Traditional bridal gowns bring them a charming brilliance in their life, which makes them unforgettable and leave beautiful memories.
As we all know, there is a beautiful story about the origin of this traditional bride dress, which is said to be sealed by the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the nomads from the army invaded south and captured Emperor Gongsun alive. Hui Zong's son Kang Wang fled to the south of the Yangtze River. However, nomads from Kang Wang fled to a farmhouse on a ridge and met a woman sunbathing in the valley, begging for her help. The woman tactfully hid him under the sun basket, sat on it and tricked the nomads from Kang Wang. Kang Wang is very grateful, and she likes this beautiful and witty little girl very much, so she will send her a red handkerchief with her. Tell her who she is, say, I will marry you today next year, and then I can recognize you just by waving a red handkerchief on the ridge? . After Kang Wang arrived in Hangzhou, he became Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. He went to marry the girl as promised, but he didn't know that the girl missed the free life of the people. He was reluctant to leave his hometown and refused to enter the palace. But he was afraid that the emperor's life would be hard to violate, so he prepared a lot of red handkerchiefs and asked all his sisters to wave them every day. Emperor Gaozong could not recognize them and had to give up. But in order to save his life, the emperor made an imperial edict. Zhejiang women are king! ? The waiter etiquette officer was very worried and said to him: How did the emperor get it? He thought for a moment and said, what's so hard about it? Let them wear robes with crowns when they get married! ? From then on, when the girls were brides, they all wore rockhoppers, robes and red skirts, and at the same time, they did not forget to cover their faces with red headscarves presented by Kang Wang. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation, and people of all ages know it. No wonder when those children are playing, as long as they put a handkerchief on the little girl's head, other children will clap their hands and shout with a smile. Married! Married! ?
Historical development of wedding dress
Because red is the noblest color, people who can wear red must wear red when they get married. Until the middle of18th century, when the city nobles in Nuremberg got married, the bride still wore a red coat and the groom wore red pants. In the Middle Ages, only nobles were allowed to wear red coats, which were cut like robes, with bell-shaped folds and wide sleeves. People call it Shao silk, which is a typical costume in the Middle Ages. [9]
The origin of wedding dress

Although wedding ceremonies have been held all over the world since ancient times, the history of brides wearing wedding dresses at weddings is less than 200 years. The embryonic form of wedding dress can be traced back to BC 1700 ~ BC 1550, which was worn by aristocratic women of Minoan dynasty in ancient Greece. Sleeves are tied under the breasts of elbows, chest and waist, and a bell-shaped dress is worn. The white gauze dress that the bride is wearing now was originally a Catholic dress. Because some countries in ancient Europe were a country where politics and religion were integrated, people had to go to church to receive prayers and blessings from priests or priests before they could be considered as formal legal marriages. Therefore, the bride wears a white dress to show her sincerity and purity to God. Before the West19th century, there was no uniform color specification for the bridal gowns worn by girls when they got married. It was not until around 1820 that white gradually became a widely used wedding color. This is because Queen Victoria of England wore an elegant white wedding dress at her wedding. Since then, the white wedding dress has become a formal wedding dress. Now some people don't understand the origin of the wedding dress. They are ingenious and make the bride's wedding dress pink or light blue to show their beauty. In fact, according to western customs, only remarried women can use pink or lake blue on their wedding dresses to show the difference from their first marriage.
