A video of a 3.7-meter antique wedding dress being cut by a woman's paper-cut went viral online. This beautiful woman named Chen Xiaoyan is from Chaoyang, Guangdong. She also has another identity, which is the inheritor of paper-cut culture and intangible cultural heritage. She has been cutting paper-cut since she was five years old, and has been trying to combine paper-cut culture with clothes for more than 30 years. This time, it took her more than 20 days to cut out a 3.7-meter red wedding dress, full of auspicious elements, including pomegranate flowers and carp, symbolizing wealth and good luck.

The red wedding dress has always been one of the cultural symbolic elements in traditional weddings in China, but with the development of science and technology in recent years, young people in China are more and more fond of western-style weddings, while traditional weddings in China have gradually fallen behind. In recent years, I have never seen a red sedan chair with a red wedding dress. Why? Let's talk about it in detail here today.

First of all, the current trend is to hold western-style weddings, which are much simpler and cheaper than Chinese weddings. Looking for a wedding company outside can organize a decent western-style wedding, but it is not so easy to find a wedding company to organize a Chinese wedding. Some big wedding companies can undertake Chinese weddings, but the cost is too high.

Another reason is the gradual decline of traditional culture. At present, fewer and fewer people really understand the Chinese wedding process. If we insist on holding some Chinese weddings, there may be no connection before and after, and it may end up being neither fish nor fowl, which is ridiculous. Besides, the groom at the Chinese wedding has to ride a horse, and now there is no way to ride a horse in the urban area. It's neither fish nor fowl!

Finally, today's young people pursue sensory stimulation and like romantic western-style weddings. Whether it's lawn champagne or hotel wedding dress, it's full of romance, but Chinese weddings can only be covered with red hijab, and even their faces can't be exposed. How can brides who want to be beautiful accept it?
