I want to wear He Xiu clothes when I get married. Do you want to know if He Xiu's clothes are for concubines?

He Xiu skirt: Actually, it is a big dress worn by women in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is characterized in that the top is a vertical collar, round neck or right-handed top, and the bottom is a horse face skirt. Later, due to the popularity of the 200 1 TV series "Orange is Red", the clothes worn by the heroine He Xiu (played by Zhou Xun) in the drama were called "He Xiufu" by some people. In fact, women's wedding dresses created by Ye Jintian and others for the roles of film and television dramas in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China have gradually become synonymous with China's red wedding dresses among some people, and even confused with the "dragon and phoenix robes", which are mistaken for China's traditional wedding dresses, but their history is only over ten years. However, there are reports that He Xiu is a concubine, which is unfounded on the Internet. Some people say that the main room is worn straight ahead, and the concubine room is worn forward. This statement has no theoretical basis. Throughout the history of China, we can see that the gorgeous Hanfu in the Big Man's World is not biased. If the straight row and the offset row have more historical status than the straight row in the history of China.

First, look at the color.

First of all, we should know that in ancient times, people regarded red as the most revered color, so in ancient times, when their wives got married, they usually wore big red, while concubines usually wore pink. He Xiu's clothes are usually red. People used to wear He Xiu's clothes when they got married. It is said that He Xiu's clothes are not for concubines.

Second, look at the skirt.

Secondly, He Xiu's clothes are divided into two styles: double-breasted and oblique-breasted, and the button facing the middle is the front. Buttons on the side, whether left or right, are called oblique lapels. According to the formal ancient dress, it is considered that the double-breasted dress is for the main room and the diagonal dress is for the concubine. However, judging from the origin of He Xiu clothing, the history of He Xiu clothing is not long, and He Xiu clothing is not worn by concubines. Now, as long as we don't pay special attention to traditional sayings, it's mainly fashion and beauty. Therefore, in the wedding market, there are still many beautiful clothes with diagonal buttons. In addition, at Tang Yan's wedding, she also wore a dress of He Xiu, and it was oblique. If, as people say, He Xiuli's dress is for concubines, Tang Yan would never choose this style as his wedding dress. Don't care too much, just choose your favorite style.

Third, look at the pattern.

The patterns on He Xiu's clothes are diversified, which can not only show dragons and phoenixes, but also embroider any auspicious flowers, plants and animals. For example, the peony symbolizing wealth, the bat symbolizing "happiness has arrived", the lily wishing the new couple harmony and so on. Diversified patterns are also the reason why He Xiu's clothes are more and more popular with prospective brides. At first, He Xiu didn't have so many dragon and phoenix embroideries, because she formed a habitual obedience to royal culture. It is reported that He Xiu is a concubine, and the online statement is quite unfounded.
