News related to Hanfu wedding

The first Chinese weekly wedding in the country (2006.11.12 *** Gong Taotian (original name: Hong Liang) Gu Youmei (biao four tones) wedding)

The ceremony is not just for us The national memory should be the root of our nation. How can the beauty of uniforms be without the support of etiquette? The etiquette of humiliating oneself and respecting others, the order of elders and young ones, and the strict standardization of etiquette are the elements of an ideal Chinese society in my mind, and the solemn, elegant and simple Zhou etiquette brings the connotation of these etiquettes to the extreme. "Weddings are held on a weekly basis... There is no joy or celebration. What is important is the righteousness of the couple and the grace of tying the knot. We do not think that this is something that can be noisy. The evening ceremony at that time was very simple and clean, and there was no future generations. There are complicated sideshows like picking up the hijab to have a wedding ceremony, where the couple "eat while they are in bed, and have fun together" and enter the bridal chamber hand in hand - this is a beautiful ceremony with the characteristics of the Han nationality; the coma is not a popular one. Green, the bride and groom all wore dignified black dresses (black, the color of red in black, is the most sacred color that symbolizes heaven). The whole ceremony was peaceful and peaceful, without sadness. There is a shocking power in it - maybe this is the power we want to capture today. The quiet and beautiful ceremony that began in the dusk represents the pure, beautiful and great Chinese civilization, which speaks directly to the heart." This is the description of Jian Jia Congfeng. Getting married according to Zhou Lilai has become my dream at some point. Perhaps like the ideal of Hanfu, sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, in those afternoons accompanied by the Book of Songs, in those midnights when dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the exploration of the difficult words in the rituals, one day I finally found that it was connected to my blood and could not be shaken. Fortunately, this is not only my dream, but also the dream of *** workers, and also the dream of many brothers and sisters in the Hanfu movement. Without brothers and sisters, we would be alone. Special thanks go to: Qingsong Baixue - from the discussion of wedding dress styles, the choice of fabrics, to the weekly wedding dress design drawings, layout lists, concept drawings, seal patterns, and then to the form of the wedding, He put countless efforts into the process, even down to the wording of the invitation. Although he was far away in Australia, he actually took on the important task of finding clothing materials for us (Degang and his wife, Shi Shi and us) in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Finally, I traveled across the ocean to serve as the praiser of our evening ceremony. The tedious and hard work involved is still like yesterday when I think about it now. Wanfo Chaozong - the maker of Zhou Dynasty Hanfu and the designer and maker of Tang Dynasty small dress. Rao has rich experience in making Hanfu. After all, she is a young girl who has just graduated, but she spent several sleepless nights designing and tailoring our clothes. Biye Huanghua and her Xingyun Wedding Enterprise - Biye Huanghua have been in contact with us for a long time. She has always been determined to have a pure Chinese wedding. All the props used in our weddings, the screen behind the back, the Chinese-style table called "Xiajuan", the ceremonial table, the lacquer plates, ear cups, and jue, these are only found in costume dramas and museums. Things that can only be seen at once appeared at our wedding thanks to her traveling around and contacting many people. When Jianjia Congfeng and Biye Huanghua met for the first time, she had a thick stack of printed copies of the Chinese evening ceremony procedures written by Congfeng in her hand. Without her detailed research in advance, our preparation work would have been much more complicated. The eulogy Qingsong sang at the wedding was also written by her in her spare time. An Ran—a hermit in the city who met him during the summer festival. But he also actively helps us earthly folk. He came to my house early in the morning wearing his t-shirt. He didn't say much and just helped. At the evening banquet, the song "Guan Ju" startled the four people, adding a lot of color to the evening ceremony. Thank you all - Gu Youmei
