Do you know why Ming Lan Moran wore green when she got married and Juran wore red?

Looking at the scenery, marrying Uncle Gu is about to open another scene in the life of the house, and Rulan Xiaochutie will also marry her "to her brother" who cried and insisted on marrying. Careful viewers may have found that Moran and Ming Lan are wearing green wedding dresses, while Juran is wearing red. Why?

It can be said that the drama "Know No" is very attentive and elegant in terms of lines, scenes and costume props. Because the background of the story is the Northern Song Dynasty, in that period, red was the symbol of male chauvinism, and green was the representative of women's nobility and splendor, so in Fu Sheng, we can see that only the eldest lady had green clothes to wear, while Lin Xiaoniang could only wear some pink clothes.

Look at Yi Sheng again. As the head of the family, most of his clothes are red, which also represents the style of men. Except for the royal clothes, most of them are mainly dark red. Many people in modern times think that green wedding dresses are unlucky, but the wedding dresses in ancient China are very particular. China's wedding originated in the Zhou Dynasty more than 3000 years ago. At that time, the color of wedding dresses was mostly black and red, and the technical term was: black and red. This color tone continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the so-called Zhou weddings we can see now are generally this color.

In the Tang Dynasty, the painting style of wedding dresses began to change. The bride's dress is a blue-green cymbal dress. A cymbal dress, also called a cymbal gift dress, is a dark blue dress with cymbals made of gold, silver or glass on its head. The groom's is a red "official dress", also called a crimson gauze robe.

In the Tang Dynasty, the collocation of this kind of wedding dress was "men and women". The so-called red men and green women mean that men's clothes are scarlet and women's clothes are turquoise. Until the Song Dynasty and even before the Ming Dynasty, women's green wedding dresses followed the tradition of "men are the masters outside and women are the masters inside"!

At that time, there was a saying called "boys and girls". In fact, red wedding dresses only became popular after the Ming Dynasty, and boys and girls represent status and etiquette respectively. The ancients also used black eyebrows in Tsing Yi to describe beautiful women, so green wedding dresses are really an old tradition, which shows that the crew respected history only after consideration!

Men and women are traditional wedding dresses in Song Dynasty. But in Do You Know, although both Moran and Minglan are wearing green wedding dresses, why is Ru Lan wearing a red wedding dress? Because in ancient times, only dignitaries and wives could wear green wedding clothes. If they marry into a relatively ordinary family, the woman wears red when she enters the door. For example, Ru Lan married Wen Yanjing, who was originally a poor scholar, and later took an examination of flower exploration, so Ru Lan could only wear red when she got married.

Therefore, the director of "Do You Know" is also a conscientious producer, taking into account the current background and respecting history in actors, props, lines and other aspects. You can also have a long posture when watching a play. Now you know the meaning of "green fat, red thin"?
