Do you know that Zhong took the name of a big lady? Why did she wear the wedding dress of an ordinary woman when she got married?

Wedding dresses are not uniform, only wives and concubines, which is the so-called matchmaker's marriage. Ming Lan's green wedding dress represents his wife's status.

Historically, three wives and four concubines are very common phenomena in the upper class. In order to ensure the wife's status, there is also a distinction between official position and society. Marrying a wife has a series of complicated etiquette procedures, and concubinage is just carried through the door.

In the early film and television dramas, no matter what dynasty, brides wore bright red and happy clothes, but in fact, it didn't become popular until the Ming Dynasty.

In the Zhou dynasty, etiquette was emphasized in weddings, and family status was emphasized in marriages. Marriage between nobles, civilians and slaves is not allowed. At that time, all the nobles liked black, and the color of big wedding dresses was black.

The cultural dissoluteness in Qin and Han dynasties was not particularly severe, so it inherited the characteristics of the Zhou Dynasty that black was the most respected, and nobles generally liked black clothing.

Of course, on the one hand, it is because of the preferences of the aristocratic class, on the other hand, it is also limited by materials and printing and dyeing technology.

White is the primary color of fabric, perhaps because of the worship of nature, and it will appear that white is respect.

The expression "guys and girls" has been circulating for a long time. A Mu still remembers that when I was a child, the history teacher once said that ancient men wore red clothes twice in their lives, while women only wore red clothes once in their lives. At that time, A Mu knew that ancient wedding dresses were green, but people actually wore red clothes after death.

You know, Ming Lan, Moran and even Dan Ju all wore green wedding dresses, which means they all got married through the media. In the play, the eldest lady and the Xiaoqin family often wear green clothes, because that is the color that only wives can wear.

Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence, ordinary civilian women in the Ming Dynasty could also wear a hooded gown that only married women could wear. This is also an ancient wedding dress that we often see in film and television dramas.

The style of wedding dress in Qing dynasty is flag dress, and the color is red as in Ming dynasty.

Later, influenced by western culture, wedding dresses, cheongsam, Hanfu and other dresses appeared at the wedding, mainly depending on the couple's own preferences.

? There is an infinitely black question mark face on this issue.

Ming Lan has been taken care of by her grandmother in the name of Big Miss. Although everyone who knows the inside story knows that she is only a nominal daughter, she is actually married according to the specifications of the first daughter.

This is also a high marriage deliberation. She went to Houfu to be the first lady. The whole wedding was made of red makeup, and there was no envy of others. Even the rockhoppers are so heavy that Minglan's head shows signs. How can there be a saying of wearing an ordinary woman's wedding dress?

In our modern cognition, marriage is either a Chinese wedding, wearing big red represents happiness, or a white wedding dress represents purity in western culture.

When Ming Lan appeared in a green wedding dress, it really overturned some people's ideas. It turns out that she can wear green clothes when she gets married, and it is so elegant and luxurious. The red groom's dress has a special charm.

You know, the background of the story happened in the Song Dynasty, and the wedding etiquette in the Song Dynasty was really popular, and green was respect.

If you don't believe me, please look at Mrs. Wang. As the wife of the first wife, most of her clothes are green.

Kang Menstruation, the elder lady's sister, is also dressed in green.

Princess Pinning and Xiao Qin also wear green clothes.

Our grandmother, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Hai are also dressed in green.

It can be said that in that dynasty, green was not belittled, but was regarded as noble.

Ming Lan's wearing a green wedding dress not only does not mean that ordinary women are in a low position, on the contrary, it is a sign of prominent status.

Don't! Although Ming Lan is an ordinary woman, she grew up under the name of the old lady, and was later adopted under the name of the first lady, that is, her first daughter. Also, she married Gu Hou, a man and a woman, which was the wedding etiquette of that era. Normal wedding clothes are not ordinary women's wedding clothes!

The questioner's question itself is a big BUG! First of all, Ming Lan in the TV series Know No was not adopted under the name of a big lady. Secondly, the wedding specifications of ancient people usually only talk about the difference between wives and concubines, generally regardless of whether the other party is married at home or unmarried.

In ancient China, adoption specifically refers to men, which mainly refers to the adoption of the son of one's own brother or cousin to the childless brother as an heir, thus inheriting one's family business, title and so on. Of course, in practice, there are also cases of adopting others. For example, in Guo Wei, Zhou Taizu adopted Chai Rong, the son of Chai Shouli's brother-in-law, as his successor, which was later Guo Rong, Zhou Shizong. However, this is only a case, a special case. In most cases, it is mainly a stepnephew or cousin.

Guo Wei, Zhou Taizu

Zhou Shizong Guo Rong (Chai Rong)

To put it bluntly, adoption is to continue the family business. In that patriarchal society, women are subservient to men, and there is no such thing as carrying on the family line. Therefore, the adoption in ancient China only targeted at men, not including women. Of course, women have similar situations, but it can't be called adoption. For example, Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, was adopted by Cao Cao's original Ding Furen long ago because of his mother's early death, and was basically trained as the eldest son by Cao Cao. But there is no so-called "adoption" relationship between him and Mrs. Ding. After all, Mrs. Ding went to see his mother. What's wrong?

Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei (stills)

This involves another problem. In ancient China, the status of wives and concubines was extremely unequal! To put it bluntly, only the wife can be regarded as the husband's "spouse", and concubines can only be regarded as the "tool" for the husband to vent his desires and carry on the family line ... Because the status of wives and concubines is unequal, the status of children born to wives and concubines is also unequal! Children born to wives are called concubines, and children born to concubines are called concubines. Only sons born to concubines have the right to inherit. What's even more speechless is that in the big family and royal family in ancient China, illegitimate children can't call their biological mothers their mothers on formal occasions, but only their first mothers, that is, their father's Tang Huo legally called their mothers! And can only be called biological mother aunt or "little mother" or something like that.

China's ancient wives (left sitting) and concubines (Zuo Li)

For example, Ming Lan in the TV series Do You Know has only one mother, that is, her father's first wife and her first mother, that is, the big lady in the play. When Ming Lan got married, only the first mother presided over the formal wedding. Even if Ming Lan's biological mother is not dead, she is not qualified to preside over her daughter's wedding, and even Lian Deng is not qualified to sit in the main hall! Even as an auditor, I'm afraid I can only stand next to the principal room like a servant. For example, Tan, a man of the hour in modern times, was admitted to high school in the late Qing Dynasty. His father publicly announced that from now on, Tan's biological mother could sit at the same table with herself and her wife. In other words, sitting at a table with the first wife is already a great "favor" for concubines in Tan Fu's view!

Tan is the eldest brother of the Republic of China, and he is a "son of a bitch"

Therefore, in the TV series "Know No", Ming Lan called the doctor a mother, which does not mean that she was "adopted" by the first lady or adopted by the first lady. But as the illegitimate daughter of her father, she must call her father's first wife and her first mother! Another example is Silent, another concubine, Lin's daughter, was born in the play. Although she is privately called Mama Lin, she has to call her Big Lady's mother and her biological mother, Mama Lin, "Little Mother" on formal occasions, especially when the Big Lady is present. Can it be said that Moran was also "adopted" by Miss Da? This is obviously unreasonable.

The ancient wedding norms usually only talked about marrying or concubinage. As for whether the other party is a prostitute or her concubine, there is no difference in wedding specifications. Simply put, no matter whether the woman is a prostitute or an unmarried woman, as long as she marries the man's house as the first room, the marriage process is basically the same. On the other hand, even if the woman is married at her mother's house, if she marries the man from an early age, it is impossible to enjoy the marriage treatment of the first house! Of course, this kind of situation is relatively rare among the people except the emperor's family. But as long as life is passable, few people will be willing to send their daughters to other people's homes as children. Unless it is a political need, for example, the younger brother of Nuerhachi, the Qing emperor, married his daughter to Li's son, Li.

Therefore, the questioner explained that it is completely natural for Lan to get married in the clothes of ordinary girls! Guys and dolls are the standard wedding dresses in the Song Dynasty, and there is no difference. What's more, Shengji married his daughter to a noble family as an ordinary official. Even if you lose face, men still want it! How can he be allowed to deliberately highlight his daughter's identity? In addition, the son-in-law of Shengji, Gu, was also a celebrity in front of the emperor at that time. As the saying goes, "Look at the Buddha instead of the monk." Unless Shengji doesn't want to continue to be an official, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to make a fuss about it and hit the emperor in the face! Therefore, Ming Lan's marriage can only be higher than the first daughter, and it is absolutely impossible to wear what the questioner said. ...

To sum up, the question raised by the questioner itself is a big BUG! There was no such thing as "adoption" among ancient women. Ming Lan calls this big lady mother, because she is Ming Lan's first mother, and she must call this big lady mother! It's not about Ming Lan being "adopted" to the big lady at all. As for the questioner's so-called Ming Lan getting married in an ordinary woman's wedding dress, it is even more ridiculous. In ancient China, the wedding norms of marriage were usually only about the different treatment of wives and concubines, regardless of whether you were married at your parents' home or unmarried. The wedding specifications for concubines to marry men must also be higher than those of previous concubines. Although this situation is basically impossible, it is a truth. What's more, people are hereditary nobles, and even if they wash their dirty linen in public, they still want it! How can you tolerate Shengjia? Besides, Gu was the toast of the emperor at that time, and Shengji asked her to get married in a so-called ordinary woman's wedding dress. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor? Does he have the courage?

Marry and divide wives and concubines. When she married Gu, Gu fought for her status as the first daughter. Ming Lan is married and dressed in green. At that time, green was the color worn by his wife, not that green was the color worn by ordinary women.

Ming Lan's wedding dress is also very good. She married Gu Houfu and gave her a lot of dowry. The old lady of the Sheng family was very kind to Ming Lan and gave her a lot of dowry. Ming Lan is also a beautiful wedding.

I'm Xiao Qianhu for fun. I'll answer this question.

When "Do you know it should be green, fat, red and thin?" was broadcast, in addition to the plot of house fighting in the play, the exquisiteness of the sidewalk in the play also aroused the audience's strong interest. Especially in the scene where Morin, the two daughters of Shengjia, got married, they wore turquoise wedding dresses, which were different from our traditional understanding of medieval red wedding dresses and even more puzzling. Then let's talk about the dress code of ancient women when they got married.

The status difference between virgins and ordinary women In ancient times, a man could marry multiple women, but only one wife, and all others were concubines. A wife, the first wife, gives birth to a concubine, while a child born in a concubine room is called a concubine. But whether they are virgins or concubines, it stands to reason that the resources they get should be provided by the family. It's just that my first daughter's mother, as a wife, mostly comes from a well-off family, so my first daughter's living standard will be slightly higher than that of ordinary women, but the difference between my first daughter and ordinary women in ancient times is not small.

Especially when getting married, there will be obvious differences in dowry. Although according to the custom, the bride's family will send a dowry, but most first-time mothers will give part of their personal wealth as a dowry to their daughters, and women with more dowry may have a higher status in the in-laws' family. The possibility that an ordinary girl can get a generous dowry subsidized by her mother is relatively low. Of course, if you marry a noble family, you may get more dowry than expected, but this opportunity and possibility are relatively low.

Differences in color requirements of women's wedding dresses "Do you know" was set during the reign of Renzong in Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, wedding dresses were popular for women, that is, when they got married, men would wear red wedding dresses and women would wear turquoise wedding dresses. The popularity of this kind of wedding dress has nothing to do with women's modesty at home, but only with women's in-laws status. Generally, people with more prominent status can wear green wedding dresses and rockhopper, while ordinary people can only wear blue or red wedding dresses.

Therefore, in Do You Know, Ming Lan and Moran both wore green wedding dresses when they got married, which basically conforms to history. In addition, in order to reflect the status contrast between Ming Lan and Moran when they got married, more emphasis was placed on their differences in headdress and wedding etiquette. When Moran got married, she wore a simple headdress and took a side door. The son-in-law did not go into Sheng's house to meet the bride, but only met the bride outside Sheng's house. When he got married, Gu went to see his parents in a great way, and went into Sheng's home to visit his parents with a grand ceremony.

In addition, in the play "Know", Ming Lan did not adopt the old lady, but the old lady in Shengjia recorded Ming Lan's name in the genealogy and Ming Lan's name in the old lady's name. This is also a routine practice for ancient women to climb the marriage relationship with aristocratic families in order to get a better marriage and improve the status of ordinary women in the family.

When Ming Lan got married, it was definitely a bright moment, infinite scenery and a very lively big scene. So, where did you come to Ming Lan to get married in an ordinary woman's wedding dress?

Ming Lan's wedding headdress has high dress specifications. Why do you say that?

Ming Lan married her family and gave her enough face! Married to Gu, but in the eyes of Shengji and Miss Da, she married Rulan.

At this level, the first lady and Shengji are grateful. Because of the marriage with Gu and Rulan, I didn't know that Rulan was caught by Gu when he bid farewell to Wen Yanjing.

This is the result of Ming Lan's marriage, so the first lady is grateful to Ming Lan, and Yi Sheng also feels indebted to Ming Lan, but she also feels that Ming Lan's marriage saved the face of the Sheng family and did not delay Changbai's official career.

Because of this, the dowry prepared by the Sheng family is naturally in accordance with the specifications of the eldest daughter, which is very decent.

In addition, the old lady bought a lot of land and houses, which made Ming Lan very confident.

In this way, Ming Lan's maiden is enough to let her get married, so it is definitely in accordance with the specifications of the office girl.

In addition, what Gu pursues is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. If not, how does Sheng Jia make sense?

Gu went around a big circle and finally got the beauty. In fact, the marriage between Ming Lan and Gu is not a substitute marriage, and Gu wants to marry someone.

Around a big circle, but also to give enough face, so that the Sheng family has a different attitude.

Married a sweetheart, the dowry of the Sheng family is such a face that Gu dare not pick her up in person.

Gu is already a general, and this arrangement is naturally fiery and gorgeous, expressing Gu's respect and love.

Gu greeted the bride and bowed to her parents before leaving. Ming Lan was very happy.

Think at the beginning, Moran married, married to the earl's house, Liang's nobody greeted him, and he went, and no one in Sheng's family wanted to send him away.

Think about this scene. By contrast, Ming Lan's specifications are already very high.

What's more, Gu is a member of the general's office, a red man in front of the emperor, and has made many meritorious military achievements. He was able to meet his bride in person, accept the assessment of the Sheng family, and finally hold hands with his beloved girl.

It can be seen that Gu is sincere!

The big lady of the general's office, the royal wedding, this identity is not allowed to be low-key. It is the general, the big lady, that is, the general's wife. This identity is not bad.

Therefore, Gu Bahe's wedding was not made so ostentatious and complicated to show off.

This is Gu He's wedding, so we can't keep a low profile.

After all, except for Caleb Cushing's marriage, this marriage was inspired by the royal family.

This is enough to make Ming Lan's marriage a bright moment, and it must be a bright moment.

Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to the royal family. Therefore, Ming Lan got married, wearing a blue wedding dress and a pearl crown, which is the highest standard of marriage.

Therefore, it is one thing for Ming Lan to get married as the first daughter, and the general's office where others get married is also a rich family, so it is also appropriate to marry the royal family.

So, where did you get the clothes of ordinary women?

The movie "Do You Know" is starring Zhao and He. The two protagonists are very sweet in the play and also very sweet outside the play.

Judging from the wedding clothes, there is no distinction between concubines. I grew up with an old lady. Except her own mother, she is no worse than other sisters!

Uncle Gu swore to Minglan that she would be kind to her all her life, protect her, cherish her and let her not be bullied. When people talk about me, I will take the second row seriously first, and you are the first. These words can be remembered for a long time.

At that time, there were boys and girls, and Ming Lan's wedding dress was quite luxurious. A green dress with a golden crown sets off this beauty. Compared with Moran's wedding dress, it's not a grade at all. The most important thing is that Uncle Gu made a special trip around Bianjing City to let everyone know that Sheng is the happiest woman.

On the wedding day, Uncle Gu married in a big sedan chair. At the same time, the emperor personally attended the wedding of his uncle Gu He, which can be said to be comparable to royalty.

Clothes are just a souvenir, but you still have to live by yourself, okay?
