China knowledge of dragon and phoenix robes 1. What's the point of the bride wearing a dragon and phoenix robe?
Pay attention to the dragon and phoenix robe
The dragon and phoenix robe also has a name, He Xiu dress, which is a kind of China bride dress, which originated from Manchu costumes. The embroidery technology of He Xiu's early clothes is the most authentic in the three northeastern provinces. But because Cantonese people often wear formal dresses when they get married, they are regarded as decent. So this technology has also spread to the south, and Chaoshan handicrafts are by far the most famous.
In ancient South Guangdong, different generations wore different gowns: brides generally wore big red gowns, mostly "gowns"; The elders (the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom) will wear black and red skirts or all-black "big Five Blessingg"; Relatives (and elders, such as menstruation, menstruation, elder sister, sister-in-law, etc.). ) Will wear red or black "Middle Five Blessingg" or "Little Five Blessingg". Other relatives and friends can wear traditional clothes instead of skirts.
Up to now, these traditional rules have been relaxed a lot, simplified to the bride wearing a red skirt, and if the elders want to wear skirts, they will choose more mature bordeaux and purple. The grades of skirts and dresses are chosen according to everyone's economic conditions.
If the bride wears a dragon and phoenix coat at the wedding, the groom can't always wear a suit, but wearing a gown and jacket is too exaggerated. The top of the improved Zhongshan suit, similar to dark flowers and embroidery, is "a natural pair" with the bride's skirt and gown.
The style of Longfeng jacket
The "jacket" of Longfeng jacket refers to the double-breasted jacket on the upper body, and the "skirt" refers to the long skirt on the lower body. With the changes of the times, the styles of skirts and dresses have also changed greatly.
Before the 1970s, skirts and dresses were "black dresses and red dresses", and later they evolved into "red dresses and red skirts". Previous jackets were cut in Tang suit, with straight shoulders, wide body and buttons. Now the popular style has been improved to suit shoulders, waist, middle sleeves and zipper design, which has become more fashionable and comfortable. The sleeve design not only highlights the beauty of the bride's body, but also expresses gratitude to relatives and friends for giving gifts, so as to see the bracelets, bracelets and other gold ornaments worn by the bride.
In the past, it was mainly embroidered with auspicious patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, mandarin ducks and flowers. In the 1950s, beaded and beaded skirts and gowns appeared, with dragons and phoenixes as the main patterns and homophonic meanings of "auspiciousness" and "affection", commonly known as "beaded gowns". In 1960s, embroidery with gold and silver thread was started. Besides dragons and phoenixes, five cute little bats were embroidered, which meant "five blessings". This kind of clothes and dresses are often called "Five Blessingg dresses". Nowadays, the patterns on the gown are mainly dragons and phoenixes, decorated with "Fu", "Xi", peony flowers, mandarin ducks, bats, pomegranates and other patterns, which are auspicious and happy for a hundred years.
Now you can see two kinds of gowns on the market: straight clothes pendulum and water wave feet clothes pendulum. Straight clothes pendulum has always been the most traditional style. As the name implies, the water wave foot dress pendulum will have a wavy shape and a special style. The embroidery work is relatively complicated and the price is more expensive than the straight dress pendulum.
The length of the dragon and phoenix jacket just reaches the ankle, so the matching of red shoes is still very important. Like the dragon and phoenix jacket, embroidered shoes are undoubtedly the best match.
How to choose dragon and phoenix robes
Usually, the shops that order dragon and phoenix robes also rent skirts, 600-700 yuan/day. Because the dragon and phoenix robes can't be cleaned like ordinary clothes, they can only be replaced with movable cloth strips at the neckline, cuffs and other close-fitting parts when renting. Pay attention to "good intentions" when getting married. For those who have financial conditions, the gown experts still suggest that you buy a "head gown"-a brand-new tailored gown. The price of skirts and robes depends on the quantity and fineness of handwork.
It is not easy to sew a dragon and phoenix jacket. The whole process from drawing to completion must be made by hand. After the guests choose the style, they begin to draw. Out of goodwill, it is stipulated that a set of dragon and phoenix robes consists of nine embroidered pieces, and one painting is two or three weeks. Then, "sweep" the picture onto the satin, punch a pinhole with a needle and "draw" on the satin. Finally, the silks and satins were put on the shelf, and 10 was tightly fixed in three directions, thus starting the embroidery process for several months. If you want the hand-sewn patterns to be symmetrical and uniform, it is best for the embroidery to be done by the same person, but in this case, it takes three months to a year to sew a suit of He Xiu.
According to manual classification, it can also be said that it is based on the density of gold and silver threads. The prices of skirts and dresses are respectively: Guahuang, Five Blessingg, Five Blessingg, Five Blessingg and Longfeng.
Tips:
1, depending on whether the bottom of the Longfeng coat is well-defined and whether the embroidery has a three-dimensional effect; To tell the difference between the old and the new, we must first look at whether the cuffs have fallen off.
In ancient times, all colors except red were the colors worn in the house, so the dragon and phoenix coat should be red, and pink or red silk underwear can be worn inside. Traditionally, dragon and phoenix robes are "married once", so when trying on dragon and phoenix robes, you can't try on the whole robe at the same time, but try on the upper and lower parts.
3. Except for the emperor and empress, it is difficult to grade the density of other He Xiu clothes. I suggest you mainly look at the embroidery density on the skirt when you choose. Guests can choose embroidered dresses first, then sign the selected dresses, and then give them to the master to tailor the dresses for the guests, which can speed up the time of making dresses.

You can wear a two-piece suit of pink or big red underwear under the skirt coat, so that the skirt coat will not be cut like cheongsam, and generally it will not be too close to the body.
The length of the jacket foot should at least cover the ankle or the vamp, and then it should be matched with red embroidered shoes over 1 inch. Like the dragon and phoenix jacket, embroidered embroidered shoes are undoubtedly the best match.
