China's traditional worship in film and television dramas.

The Legend of Mi Yue Wedding draws lessons from some wedding cultures in pre-Qin period, but the details are quite different from the history.

Let's look at the 8-minute pre-Qin wedding. In the film, although the wedding ceremony of Qin Wang marrying his first princess is not clearly stipulated, Qin also respects the Zhou rites in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which can be understood as a typical Zhou ritual wedding. Although many scholars believe that the Qin Dynasty abolished the etiquette of the previous dynasty and did not respect the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, it only adopted the words of one family contained in many history books. In the era of the collapse of rites, the implementation of Zhou rites varies from country to country, but it can be said that the general direction is in the same strain.

As far as wedding details are concerned, it is a rare wonderful film and television work in recent years. There is no mention of clothes, and the clothes in the play are terrible, even those who have just come into contact with Hanfu can see it. Of course, Daqin does not mean that there is no problem with the details of etiquette. On the contrary, it is more rigorous historical materials. Beyond the previous film and television works, at the same time, loopholes appeared at the beginning of the ceremony, with rich details.

Etiquette: At the beginning of the wedding, everyone is attracted by the increasing etiquette. In fact, in ancient times, etiquette generally refers to taking small steps and walking quickly, which is indeed an integral part of ancient specific etiquette, but the trend of women using this style at weddings is really not recorded. If there is no record, why did the movie deliberately add such an action? Daqin believes that the lens effect as a film and television work is the only explanation. Otherwise, normal walking and admission are not enough to show the rhythm of the ceremony. Really, according to this trend, Shu Min, Min Yue and others are asked to step forward quickly, that is to say, they are anxious to get married, which is not as solemn as the noble wedding. So this detail loophole can be regarded as the result of expediency. At least we know that this connection exists in grand ceremonial occasions.

Bow when meeting: Some people will ask, why did the king bow to Yiwa first when Yiwa went to Wang Qianqin Huiwen instead of Yiwa first? "The Book of Rites" says: "When a woman arrives, a married woman enters", so I understand that this is the etiquette in a wedding, requiring the newlywed husband to salute the bride before entering the house to complete the ceremony. As for the worship ceremony? You are mighty, making the king of Qin bow to his knees? Don't even think about it. There is definitely no need to welcome the new year at a noble wedding.

Wrong but Fan: Daqin is very suspicious that the etiquette guidance of this film was found in the summary of the wedding information of Hanfu children's robes in the early years. Because if the wedding process is similar, it may be because our robes are the wedding materials of contemporary China found from historical materials, and the etiquette guidance is also the wedding materials of contemporary China found from historical materials. However, it is impossible for Fan to appear in the historical materials of the pre-Qin period, which is some mistakes in the early Chinese wedding practice. However, Fan's history only existed in the short period of Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties. Moreover, the fans in the pre-Qin period were all in the shape of kitchen knives, which benefited from the cultural relics of Mawangdui Han Tomb after the Warring States Period 100 years ago. But it's not good for Fan. Although the literature of feather fans can be traced back to Shun Di, this myth is unreliable. And a red veil. Although there are many sayings that can make you marry Nu Wa Fuxi's brother and sister, the meaning of being far-fetched in later generations is even stronger. Finding fans is ridiculous, because the red hijab is associated with covering your face.

Wash your hands at the table: the highlight of the weekly wedding is a word that the public understands today-eat! Everyone knows to wash their hands first when eating, not to mention formal occasions with strict procedures. Unlike the medieval Europe, which regarded body odor as health, China could write hygiene and neatness into etiquette courses, so an important manifestation of etiquette is washing hands, that is, washing hands. It is worth noting that the props in the film are moo and the water is a vegetable. Many comrades like to spray water directly on fish when preparing for their Chinese wedding today, but Daqin here wants to remind you that it only appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties. This TV play is thoughtful about this detail.

Dining in the same prison: As mentioned earlier, the highlight of a week's wedding is eating, so what to eat? How much to eat? It should be said that this film is very close to the true face of history. The complete wedding food includes lung, fish, bacon, sauce, glutinous rice (meat sauce), glutinous rice (pickles) and glutinous rice (millet). Compared with the movie, there are still a few things missing. The last thing that should be lacking is the lung, which is an important link in the etiquette process.

As for the needs of three meals and one banquet, please understand more. After all, we can't do all Chinese weddings at most.

In today's common Chinese weddings, a relatively fixed and simplified process has actually been formed, that is, four kinds of food are used in the same prison area. Lung, meat, sauce, rice.

The significance of lung lies in the sacrificial link at the wedding. In fact, it is to throw it into the sky and taste it first. As for why the lungs are used, Daqin really has no excellent explanation, which is written in the references. If we must explain it, it is a story made up by Daqin himself, because the heart is the place where we breathe out, and the lungs are used to represent and condense the aura of heaven and earth to show the solemnity of etiquette. This set of words is also temporarily applicable, which is the same as many etiquette treatments in the play and can be regarded as a suitable etiquette type.

Meat, literally, can be understood as eating meat together. The explanation in the wedding is that many colleagues write at the same table and share the connotation of beautiful things together. That makes sense. In a word, China had many etiquette systems in drinking and eating meat in the pre-Qin period and even in the whole ancient society. The further we go, the more we pay attention to it. Shang Zhouwang was just greedy. He ate a few more pieces of meat, then left his words behind and was despised by people for thousands of years.

Sauce is a condiment in diet, but according to the existing literature, sauce in pre-Qin period is not only a condiment, but also can be used as a dish. For this reason, a sauce-sucking link is specially designed in the film. Daqin thinks it's actually a bit redundant. That's not the point of the ceremony. After eating, you won't shout at every step, how to eat. Let's just say that understanding is another detail that emphasizes visual effects. At a recent wedding, a history scholar objected to using chopsticks, saying that it was the torture of chopping people into paste in ancient times. This is completely putting the cart before the horse. Sugar refers to meat sauce, so it is extended to sugar punishment. Instead of calling the meat sauce sugar because of the punishment of sugar. Many friends who like literature research should pay attention to this point and analyze some records from multiple angles. You can't listen to the wind or rain.

Rice, there is also a special description in the film-eat millet, pay attention to eating here without tableware, grab it with your hands! That's right. That's how the pre-Qin diet was. Grab it directly with your hands. This is also a rare detail in this film.

Couple * * * Drink: "Couple" refers to the ceremony that the bride and groom each hold their own couple's cups and drink each other. It is also described in detail in the film. It should be pointed out that according to the actual situation of unearthed cultural relics, there are a large number of jade cups and lacquer cups with exquisite workmanship among the nobles. There is a view that the gourd was used by the earliest nobles and later civilians. After the development of economy and technology, cups were used for aristocratic weddings. You can also have different opinions for reference.

Scene layout: It should be said that in the scene layout of this TV series, it is intentional to control the common crossing habits of previous film and television works within the scope of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty. Including a large number of moire screens in Mawangdui and bronze lamps in Han Dynasty. The connecting lights at the wedding scene are still typical lighting appliances during the Warring States Period. It is also of great reference value to our own Chinese wedding.

Daqin chose so much content, of course, not to spit out how bad this film is, nor to whitewash how rigorous it is. Just looking for some helpful contents and highlights from this fairly careful pre-Qin wedding in the film. In fact, there are many similarities between the requirements faced by movies and those faced by Chinese weddings today. TV series is not a cultural teaching film, and neither is our Chinese wedding. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and adjust on the basis of referring to the history of literature.

Chinese weddings are far from being novel and unique when they first appeared. This TV series pays so much attention to a passing wedding, which also confirms the development of China culture in recent years. If we can arouse more people's interest in Chinese weddings through movies, and then find the origin of Chinese weddings, that is the result we need.

If you want to know more about Chinese weddings, whether you are a hobby or expect your own wedding to be interpreted by Chinese weddings. Daqin wants to make friends. Because Daqin believes that the wedding itself is also the most suitable carrier to carry the cultural heritage of China today. After watching the movie, you will take the initiative to find the cultural story behind it.

Daqin abandoned the ignorance of many organizations in the marriage practice in China today. The costumes in "The Legend of Mi Yue" are uninhibited and unsightly, but they still show us a rare intention in etiquette (etiquette guidance and clothing are two teams, should I especially praise one etiquette and spit out the clothing? )。

On the contrary, many Chinese wedding works are shoddy and divorced from cultural details. For example, what Han and Tang wedding concepts, new Chinese wedding concepts, Chinese style wedding concepts, advanced Chinese wedding culture training and so on. China's marriage culture originated from Hanfu culture. It is very difficult for many latecomers to pick fruits directly without understanding the connotation behind them, and ignorance is even more wrong.

This is why Daqin talked about some of his ideas through this film, and planned to make some new friends and explore the reasons for developing marriage in China.
