It is said that the wedding system has been popular since the Fuxi era. In Fuxi period, the wedding ceremony was based on the wife's skin, that is, deerskin. Because it is the end of primitive society, animal fur is still very precious. Later, in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the ceremony of marrying the bride to class became popular. By the Zhou Dynasty, the Six Rites were basically formed, which also laid a complete wedding system for later dynasties.
Weddings in the Qin dynasty pay attention to accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts and inviting dates. Later, the etiquette of urging makeup, sending makeup and making room was added. In short, the wedding procedure is becoming more and more complicated and tedious.
The wedding form played in the TV series "Know No" completely conforms to the real wedding process of people in the Song Dynasty. I'll hire you before I get married. Generally, two live swallows will be caught as dowry, and a lot of bride price will be brought. Of course, the woman's family will also prepare a lot of dowry for her to take.
On the wedding day, the woman will wear a green silk wedding dress, a red rockhopper and a silk fan to cover her face, and then her family will escort her to sit in a sedan chair. After the bride got off the sedan chair, the matchmaker asked the sedan chair to go to the groom's house.
Weddings in the Song Dynasty are my favorite, because I think they are very cultural. At the same time, I feel that the Song Dynasty is worthy of being an era of celebrities, and even weddings are different from other dynasties.
The ancients said that red and green sang big dramas. In the Song Dynasty, red and green became the most festive symbol. The process of the bride holding a silk fan to cover her face also feels very artistic. I prefer this hand-held silk fan to cover my face. It can not only highlight the beauty of the bride, but also highlight the temperament of scholarly family.
