In the Song Dynasty, Xiabi officially became the dress of aristocratic women, and there was a rigid rule that "no indecent assault" was allowed. In the history of Song Dynasty, more detailed requirements were put forward for Xiapi's dress.
The next post in this period is actually a "dress" worn on various ceremonial occasions outside the national ceremony; This system was also followed in the Ming Dynasty as the clothing of empresses and concubines. In addition, there are clear regulations on the pattern and color of the next post. You can also see the level of its owner from a small iron.
Then, as "exclusive to the nobility", how did Guan Feng Xiaguan gradually evolve from the nobility to the folk? In fact, there is a legend about the change from the clothes of concubines to the clothes worn by folk women at weddings.
According to legend, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the nomads from Song Huizong invaded and the son of Kang Wang (Zhao Gou) fled to the south of the Yangtze River. In a place called Qianjin Village, I met a brave and resourceful girl who helped Kang Wang get rid of the pursuit of the nomads from the army and saved Kang Wang's life. Kang Wang gave her his red handkerchief and said that he would marry her next year, as long as he hung it on the door.
Later, Kang Wang acceded to the throne, always remembering his promise, and sent people to Qianjin Village to look for it. However, when the seeker arrived in Qianjin Village, he found that every household had a red handkerchief, so he returned to Lin 'an in desperation. When Kang Wang learned of this, he gave all the women in Qianjin Village the honor of wearing rockhopper gowns when they got married, and also nominated a temple in Qianjin Village as the "Imperial Palace".
Later, women from all over the world followed suit, and for a time, the official robes were married all over Zhejiang, which was the story of "Zhejiang women crowned king".
There is also a legend that ordinary women can get married with a crown robe, which is a courtesy of Ma Huanghou in the Ming Dynasty. Many women in the world can get married with a crown robe. After special inquiry, there is no literature, legend or other relevant information to prove that Ma Huanghou said this sentence. Moreover, even if the official robes of the crested phoenix flowed into the homes of ordinary people, the official robes of the crested phoenix worn at ordinary weddings are very different in material and structure, but it is undeniable that even if they are only imitations, the official robes of the crested phoenix are deeply loved by ordinary people.
Having said that, let's briefly talk about rockhopper. The rockhopper, as its name implies, was also the queen's ceremonial crown at the beginning, and like Xiatie, it gradually evolved into the folk. Today, we can see only four real rock-jumping penguins, all from Dingling in Ming Dynasty. Their owners are Emperor Wanli's filial piety and Empress Xiaojing.
