Why did ancient people get married with their heads covered?
The reason why ancient people married with veils originated from an ancient legend, that is, the legend of Nu Wa and her brother. According to legend, there were only two brothers and sisters between heaven and earth at first, and they were married in order to reproduce. On the day when Nu Wa tied the knot with her brother, she made a veil of grass to cover her face. Later, in order to enhance comfort, it gradually evolved into.

In ancient times, when the bride got married, she always wore a red veil, also called red veil. We should have seen this scene on TV, and everyone may be used to it, but do you know how this custom came about? The custom of using red hijab for wedding has a long history, which can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In later dynasties, it was always followed as a wedding custom. Covering the red veil not only sets off the festive atmosphere, but also increases the mystery of the wedding. The red veil covers the bride's face, which is also the embodiment of women's shyness, and this custom comes from a myth and legend.

Everyone should have heard of the legend that Nu Wa made people. Today, this legend about red hijab is also about Nu Wa. Legend has it that when heaven and earth first appeared, there were only two brothers and sisters between them. In order to create more people, Nu Wa married the only man, that is, his brother. At that time, in order to cover up her shame, Nu Wa made a cover out of grass. Later, with the development of science and technology, a variety of silk products appeared, and the veil made of grass was replaced by yarn. After all, grass is really uncomfortable to use

This is how the red yarn was developed. Now this custom of hijab still exists in some areas. Even the wedding dress will be covered with a hijab, which seems to be an essential part of the wedding. At the same time, the hijab also adds more mystery to the bride.
