December has always been a good month, not only because of holidays, but also because of the month of December,
Every year when I come home from vacation, I always see many brides getting married during this month. I believe that putting on a wedding dress and marrying the person who loves the most and who loves her the most is the wish of every girl in her life.
Since ancient times, we have paid attention to the ming media to marry, the eight caravans, and the phoenix crown xia.
However, later, with the introduction of Western ideas, some of our red tape was almost cut, and then there were few wedding dresses such as Fengguanxia Phi, replaced by white wedding dresses.
However, have you ever thought that white is generally a color that we are more taboo about, because if someone dies, it will always be said that there is a white thing,
However, how can such a happy event as marriage wear a white wedding dress? How did wedding dresses spread to China? Today I will answer your questions.
Now there is an exhibition on wedding dresses at the China Silk Museum.
This theme exhibition is called Yan'er Roubai
Western wedding dresses from the 19th to the 20th century are on display, and the exhibition venue is in the Textile Heritage Restoration Exhibition Hall. His exhibition is divided into three parts, namely the origin of the white wedding dress, the prevalence of the white wedding dress and the inheritance of the white wedding dress.
Today, we will also use these three exhibition contents to start our theme today.
Due to the geographical differences between China and the West, it has also caused cultural differences between China and the West.
Here we are crowned as ominous white, but in the West it is revered as a sacred color,
Because they feel that white has a pure, pure meaning,
They also believe that white wedding dresses have the meaning of chastity. It represents chastity to the lover, and there is absolutely no duality.
In fact, in the early days, white was not the preferred color for wedding dresses, in
Most of the families of nobles or wealthy brides in the 18th century would choose silver, silver and white dresses as wedding dresses.
Of course, people also wear these colors of clothing in their daily lives. And in
The wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on 10 February 1840
White wedding dress became a decisive moment in history, and since then, white wedding dress has become the mainstream color of weddings.
Later, the wedding dress is not only white, plus lace, lace, etc. has become a wedding dress in the true sense.
And the wedding dress also has a variety of different versions, like what puffy skirt, cake skirt and so on. By the 1950s, the wedding dress had become a high-end fashion, and people were increasingly crazy about him.
So, how did the wedding dress come to the mainland? And is it to become a kind of existence that can coexist with our traditional ideas?
In fact, in the early days, white wedding dresses are absolutely not allowed to appear on such a festive occasion as the wedding, and everyone still respects traditional culture, and most of them are wearing phoenix crowns. Until the beginning of the last century, white wedding dresses appeared in China and were gradually accepted.
In fact, this is also related to the traditional ideas of the mainland, although we are different from Western culture, but there are still commonalities in the white wedding dress that symbolizes chastity. Because in ancient times on the mainland, it was also very important to the virginity of women. They require girls to be yellow-flowered girls before they marry, and for those who never remarry after the death of their husbands, they move to the chastity arch to prove the degree of their virginity.
The white wedding dress can be integrated into our traditional culture for this reason.
In addition, some places also stipulate that the white wedding dress is the exclusive of young girls, and for those girls who have lost their bodies or remarried, the white wedding dress is not eligible to wear.
Although the white wedding dress in the mainland has been accepted by the world, the inheritance of the white wedding dress is far less simple than the inheritance of the wedding dress in the West.
The wedding dress, which was popular during the two world wars, began to follow the evening style in terms of fabric, tailoring, construction and decoration.
White and cream wedding dresses are still popular colors, but there are other color options.
The shift in evening wear was gradual, it began during the Edwardian period and became more pronounced after world war I as daywear became more practical, informal and neutral.
In the 1920s, flat-chested, straight skirts were the mainstream of fashion, but the headdress was pressed very low, creating a sense of conservatism and shyness
, adding charm to the wedding dress. During the uncertain years of the Great Depression of the early 1930s, the classic white satin wedding dress was once again in favor.
From the mid-1930s onwards, women's shoulders became wider, their breasts more prominent, their waists more slender, and their skirts dragged to the ground.
In the 1950s, the wedding dress became a high fashion, and most brides wanted to dress like screen stars, with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Grace Kelly all being sought-after stars.
This is the interpretation of the inheritance of white wedding dresses in the China Silk Museum, from which it seems that white wedding dresses have gradually become daily costumes and become a new fashion.
And for the mainland, due to some historical reasons in the 1950s, the white wedding dress disappeared for a while
。 At that time, wedding dresses were not popular, and when people got married, most of them wore shirts with mountain suits and lapels. In the 1980s, wedding dresses gradually appeared in people's field of vision. And it has been popular until now, until today, wearing a wedding dress is also every girl's dream.
Of course, the current wedding dress is not only the plain color of white, now a variety of wedding dresses also appear in people's lives, the same way, the different styles of these wedding dresses, different colors also represent the different personalities of the bride.
With the rise of mainland cultural self-confidence, the traditional culture of the mainland has gradually been valued, and now girls have gradually begun to look for things left by their ancestors.
Hanfu, classical Chinese etiquette, etc., and so on, and the ancient Phoenix Crown Xiapi has also become the object of pursuit. Wearing my Han Neon dress and marrying me Han Er Lang became their faith.
In fact, whether it is Hanfu or western pure white wedding dresses, they all represent the most beautiful blessing for the wedding.
They have different cultures, but they have the same meaning. I don't think it matters whether you wear a han neon dress or a white wedding dress, what matters is the person you want to go to in such a sacred dress. Of course, not every girl wants to marry, because before they meet the right person, they feel that they should stick to their principles, even if they are now alone to take a wedding dress or Hanfu photo.
Finally, I wish every girl will be able to meet the person who can put herself in the sacred clothes and go to the future.
