What about the bride's hijab?

Why does the bride wear a red headscarf?

1. The influence of traditional culture: Since ancient times, brides have to cover their wedding day with red headscarves. It is said that this has a lot to do with ancient myths and legends in China.

2. Ancient myths and legends: It is said that at the beginning of the universe, there were only two brothers and sisters, Fuxi and Nuwa. In order to breed human beings, the two negotiated with the brother and sister and got married. However, when they got married, they felt shy again, so the two brothers and sisters went to the top of the mountain and prayed to heaven: "If God agrees that my brother and sister are husband and wife, let a few clouds gather in the air;" If not, let them spread out. " As soon as the words stopped, the clouds in Ran Ran got closer and closer, and finally merged into one. So Nu Wa married her brother.

3. The meaning of covering the red veil: At this time, Nu Wa made the grass into a fan to cover her face. Fans are homophonic with reeds. This became a cover. However, covering your face with a fan is not as soft, simple and beautiful as silk fabric. So, later, there was the effect of covering the shame with a red veil.

Although this is only a legend, like the earliest red hijab, it first appeared in Xiaoqi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and gradually evolved into a curtain hat from head to shoulder from the early Tang Dynasty. Then from the late Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, the word hijab became popular among the people and became an indispensable holiday decoration for brides. To express happiness, the color like this is red.

When will the red veil be unveiled?

1. Generally, when picking up the bride, the bride wears a red scarf. At first it was an accident, and then it gradually became a custom. You know, before the veil was lifted, people just imagined the bride. You can imagine the bride as ugly or beautiful. You know, this suspense adds infinite charm to the wedding.

In the past, the groom could only help the bride uncover the red veil in the bridal chamber. You know, the groom was also the first person to see the bride when the red veil was lifted. It's different now. At present, the scene of the groom unveiling the red veil for the bride has become a live performance in the wedding. At the same time, the guests present will also send sincere wishes to the couple.

Speaking of unveiling the red veil, it suddenly occurred to me that the groom who got married in ancient times needed courage. After all, the marriage at that time was decided by his parents, and many grooms were married, so I don't know what the bride looks like. So the groom didn't know what his wife looked like until the wedding night, whether ugly or beautiful was under this red veil. It's exciting to think about it!
