China people have a soft spot for red, and everyone who sees red will feel happy, happy, auspicious and satisfied. This psychology of associating color with good or bad luck is probably related to wedding dresses. You see, in the costume TV series, the bride must be wearing a red skirt and a red veil on her head.

Ordinary people are like this, and so are ladies. For example, when the elegant Princess Taiping in the poem Daming Palace married Xue Shao, she dressed like this. However, if Princess Taiping knew under the spring and saw the TV series tampering with her wedding dress like this, I'm afraid she would go back with anger.

Yes, in the Ming Dynasty, when a woman got married, it was really "Zhen Hong's double-breasted sleeve shirt+hooded gown", and this kind of wedding dress is still the most grand wedding dress in the eyes of Chinese people until now.

At that time, fashion designers thought that red and complex colors could make the bride's face rosy, while double-breasted sleeves could hide the bride's figure, so that women who were not confident about their figure could calmly face everyone's eyes.

If we push the time forward for hundreds of years and come to the Tang and Song Dynasties, the aesthetics of China people at that time can be said to have led the world fashion trend. British scholar Wells once said, "When westerners are obsessed with theology and are in ignorance and darkness, China people's thoughts are open, eclectic and easy to explore.

Chang 'an, Tang Dou is the most prosperous, affluent and civilized city in the world. The dress taste of women living in this city and this country is undoubtedly a weather vane. If there was a fashion week at that time, it must not be in Paris or Milan. Fashion coffees from all over the world flocked to it, and the place where they fell in love must be "Chang 'an Fashion Week".

Tang costume combines the cultural essence of more than half the world, and its aesthetic taste is full of rich colors. In addition, the unprecedented improvement of women's status in the Tang Dynasty, their unique aesthetics and female consciousness make the Tang Dynasty costumes unique. So in "Chang 'an Fashion Week", the coolest dress is the wedding dress.

Today, people say that "red with green is nonsense". Occasionally, a fashion master wears red and green clothes and walks in the street. My notes also racked my brains to make up for others. They just squeezed out a word "color contrast", which means that two very uncoordinated colors can also collide with other sparks.

Hey, what color contrast? That's what our ancestors left over from playing. In the Tang Dynasty, this was the way for the bride and groom to match their clothes-men and women.

The so-called red men and green women mean that men's clothes are scarlet and women's clothes are turquoise. This color combination combines the solemnity of the past with the warm celebration of later generations. "Red and green match, made in heaven", its aesthetic personality is really drunk.

In the late Tang Dynasty, ladies-in-waiting dresses were developed on the basis of long-sleeved skirts or even skirts with flower pins. Wearing this kind of clothes, there are golden flowers in the hair, so it is also called "hairpin gift clothes". This kind of clothes has a layered feel and is covered with a wide sleeve coat.

It is said that the famous imperial kimono "Twelve Orders" in ancient Japan evolved from this dress.

In a word, marriage is a major event in life. What clothes to wear and what gifts to give? China's splendid culture of 5,000 years has a lot to say and pay attention to. No matter what year and month, everyone who gets married will wear red clothes and look like a big red envelope. We were born in a country with profound cultural background, so we need a little culture, don't we?
