Han Chinese wedding what cultural connotation

a First of all, let's talk about the clothing system:

1 color: Chinese people, especially weddings of course can not be separated from the red, so there is no doubt that both men and women should be big red wedding dresses, women's wedding dresses have become customized for the color of red as far as men's seem to Tang, Song, and even the Ming Dynasty are also red, but the Qin and Han, some people say that it is black, in fact, there is no need to look at ancient times, if the modern wedding dresses are women with red and men with black is also very well with and seem solemn and orthodox, but according to the modern Chinese concept, or both sexes use red good so that seem to celebrate. However, according to the concept of modern Chinese people, it is better to use red for both men and women so that it looks festive

2 Style: Liang Guan dress is basically a straight train with some dress accessories attached to it, such as jade pendant, color tapestry, liguil, shielded knees, ribbons and so on, which are indispensable as a dress; women's style is a wide-sleeved lapel Zhai dress with a bead phoenix crown on her head It is worthwhile to point out that the pattern of Zhai's dress is very delicate, and the lapel is a complete sense of symmetry and the Chinese culture has a strong sense of symmetry itself.

The difference between the traditional Han Chinese wedding and the foreign wedding:

The real traditional Han Chinese wedding is very different from the one imagined by the modern people, and the traditional Chinese wedding is solemn and even sacred. The Chinese orthodox wedding is solemn and even sacred, and there is absolutely no music or play, and it is carried out meticulously according to the rituals, as if it were a golden relationship. Ancient people even believed that if the wedding ceremony, including the dress, had the slightest difference in the wrong place, the engagement could be canceled, because at that time, people believed that if just a small simple procedure was not all rigorous attitude to comply with the rituals, then it can be imagined that after the wedding, you, the person, must also be interested in a number of questions, and there is a one, there will be a two, and there is a two, there will be a three, so look! Many ancient documents record that many women from lords' families preferred to refuse the wealth of their husbands and choose poor families because they didn't conform to the laws of etiquette Of course, there's no need to be so dramatic nowadays, but the traditional Han Chinese view of the world lies in the importance of love, righteousness and filial piety, so all these are reflected in traditional Han weddings, and today, when there is a lack of faith in love and righteousness in our modern society, having a certain form of this kind of ceremony will be beneficial for people to pass on their civilization and recognize the traditional virtues of China. Of course, some of the excesses of the place is not necessary to comply with so the replica of the ancient system of designation of modern Han Chinese wedding dress series revival of many traditional rituals such as the wedding ceremony crown rituals is very necessary first of all, the program:

1 with the prison: with the prison is the ceremony of becoming husband and wife alone there is a clear teaching: men and women at the age of 7 years sitting on different seats food not **** ware so with the prison is probably prepared for this the son-in-law to meet the bride's sedan chair after the two of ** * into the ceremony room, east to west with a ** * into the ceremony room, east to west with the ***** * into the ceremony room. *After the son-in-law meets the bride in the palanquin, they go into the ceremony room, facing each other from east to west, and sit together on separate tables in a curtained room, and begin to sit together for the first time in their lives, and eat together with the same utensils (of course, nowadays there's no need to be so dramatic, there's just a formality), because in ancient times weddings were held in the evening, and having a communion cell is equivalent to having a meal, which is called the Hohhuan Banquet, and then exchanging cups of wine, which is called fm radio, which means that it's a sign of the happiness of the couple. At the same time, the exchange of cups also signifies the couple's trust and mutual dependence, etc. After drinking the wine, they both stand up and stand in a row to worship heaven and earth, and then the husband and wife pay respect to each other (this is what we call worship nowadays, one worships heaven and earth, two worships, and the husband and wife pay respect to each other, which is just a simplification of the opera, and worshiping the parents together, obviously it's not right) and finally, they exchange and go to the toilet to go to the bedroom, and then they go to their bedrooms, and then they go into the bed room, which is what they called a couple's bed. Instead of love, it is more important to emphasize righteousness. The rite of the same cell is quite similar to the feeling and spirit of brotherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, wifehood, or friendship, because in ancient times, love is second to duty and righteousness, and the worship of husband and wife is also a kind of righteousness

A Harmonization Banquet (sitting together in the same cell, sitting together at the same table, eating together with the same utensils, sitting in the same place, east and west)

B Fm radio (exchange of fm radio cups, **** drinking). fm fm radio cup *** drink in)

C Worship heaven and earth (8 worships, worship, must be hands up, kowtow, not a simple salute as in TV dramas nowadays)

D Husband and wife worship each other (4 worships)

E Exchange of baths

2 Worship of Parents: after the performance of the bonding, the next step is to show filial piety. Parents who raise their children for their whole life can only be regarded as real adults when they have reached the same prison. A responsible attitude usually except for the husband and wife *** sacrifice ancestors in general in ancient times, it is the whole family together to worship ancestors after the ancestors will formally complete the rite of marriage into a son-in-law, which also indicates the end of the entire wedding

And the modern so-called Han Chinese wedding, but with the penetration of a lot of foreign small customs first of all, there are a lot of Manchu wedding customs, especially in the north, such as the Manchu wedding customs

The first step is called "the first step", and it is called "the first step", and it is called "the first step". The first step is called "knocking on the door of the sedan chair" where the groom shoots an arrow at the door of the sedan chair, a unique way of inviting the bride, who is covered in a red head and assisted by older female relatives, during which time she passes through the fire pit and crosses the saddle." "Manchu wedding, no worship of heaven and earth, only" sitting tent "" spread tent " bride and groom into the bedroom, male left, female right sitting on the bed (need to explain the seat of the problem of the Manchu cultural concepts are usually male left, female right is what we say today) What we say today is male left, female right, completely under the influence of the Manchus, while the Han Chinese are the opposite, male right, female left, because left and right represent yin and yang, and if you get it wrong, it's completely contrary to the ancient cultural concepts), and then peanuts, dates, and so on, are scattered on the bed, which is also a Manchurian custom, and then there's the Manchu "cross-cup", which is now fm radioed completely differently from the Chinese "fm radio". There's also the "food-grabbing" and other similar nicknames, which are far removed from traditional Han Chinese concepts, not to mention the fact that modern people think of so-called "traditional Han weddings" as a misinterpretation of many Manchu customs, such as the "bridal chamber", which was influenced by the Khitans, and the "fire", which is the most common form of fire. Many rituals related to fire were also influenced by the Khitan, such as burning paper and putting on fireworks, etc.) "picking the head" was also influenced by the Manchus, but now it's part of Han weddings, so I have to say that it's the lack of understanding of the Han culture and the lack of knowledge of their own traditions that has caused the misconception that Han weddings are a traditional wedding.

The modern version of the simplified wedding:

The previous naji najing and other exemptions are retained only for the exchange of tokens between the man and the woman, no jiaojiao, no kisses, and a direct entry into the ceremony hall

No music, no invitation to many relatives, and no bridesmaids, but only a zanli, a bridesmaid, a best man, and a bridegroom.

The content of the ceremony can be kept to the same prison, sacrificing parents and ancestors, and the same prison, I do not think it needs to be simplified, because in ancient times, it was quiet and calm, and not noisy, which is similar to the candlelight dinner we have now, but with Chinese characteristics, and also very cozy:) as for the latter two steps need to be simplified. The two steps need to be simplified in ancient times only the bride to pay respects to aunts and uncles nowadays, equality between men and women today, the next day both parents are present to pay a few symbolic respects and then the next step can be directly to pay respects to the ancestors in the hall hanging ancestor genealogy to pay a few symbolic respects on the line because nowadays people do not have ancient ancestral temples and do not have to go to the ancestor as in the Ming Dynasty to worship the ancestors, only the two people to complete the work can be done
