In the process of getting married, the bride always wears a red, very delicate and beautiful red cloth on her head. We all call him the "red hijab", and others can't uncover it. Only the groom himself can uncover it on the wedding night.
This kind of hijab appeared in Qi State in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the weather was cold, so the bride at that time would use it to keep out the cold, but it was only a little bit at that time, unlike the current hijab, which covered the whole head. With the progress of the times, it gradually evolved into what we saw in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, this habit gradually became popular and has not been abandoned. It has become an indispensable ornament in marriage.
The first is to celebrate. The wedding day is a big day, so the hijab is usually red, which is also a special match with the wedding dress and looks good. Make the bride look more beautiful, give people a feeling of beauty, and you give people a sense of mystery.
Secondly, it is also to cover up the bride's sense of shame. There are bound to be many people coming to the wedding, and you are bound to have many people coming to see it. In many people's occasions, the bride, as the protagonist, will inevitably be shy. So you need a piece of cloth to hide your shame. Avoid blushing or being overwhelmed.
Third, there is a habit that the bride must show it to the groom and not to others. The groom must unveil the veil on the wedding night, which can also show a beautiful meaning and be more auspicious.
Fourth, many people in ancient times never looked at each other's faces when they got married, and covered them with red hijab. This man has many daydreams in his mind. It can also add a little atmosphere on the wedding night, which can make people remember the moment of this loved one, which is particularly meaningful.
White wedding dresses are very popular now, and they are also decorated with white, which can also be covered on the head and can also play a decorative role, making people look more beautiful.
