Wei Zi's wedding dress

In terms of marriage between men and women, there are many performances in the play. The Sheng family married four daughters and two daughters-in-law. For their marriage process, the play introduces them in detail. In that feudal era, women's status was extremely low, and they did not have the right to dominate their own marriage. Most of them were decided by their parents. At that time, women were also neglected in the family. For the sake of family interests, they will be forced to marry people they don't like, or even.

When a woman got married, the dowry was also particularly important at that time. If the dowry is too much, the husband's family will look up and dare not bully in the future. If the dowry is less, it will have no position in the husband's family. The most obvious embodiment in the play is Hua Lan and Ming Lan's "Ten Miles of Red Makeup". Ming Lan's ten-mile red makeup was prepared by her second uncle, who was rich and easily took it out, while Hualan's ten-mile red makeup was part of her dowry, and the old lady collected some.

In fact, the reason is very simple. For example, orchids are noble families and inferior. In the Song Dynasty, Tsing Yi was not casually dressed. When Ming Lan got married, she wore a dress with a feather crown. This is also the only one of the four sisters, mainly because the in-laws play Uncle Gu. The honor won by Ming Lan designed for Zhao must be worn by a dead woman.

When Ming Lan was unmarried, Moran was the best of the four sisters. I didn't travel in a feathered costume either, which is exactly why. Therefore, the bride's clothing depends largely on the power and status of the man. Everyone knows that Juran's "xianggong" came from a civilian family.

Therefore, Ru Lan, loved by her parents, was the poorest one when she got married. In the following story, you can see that the literati and Gu Jia were engaged at the same time, and how far apart they are in bride price! In Rulan's words, Uncle Gu will soon fill Sun Sangzhai.

You know, Uncle Gu's marriage was favored by the emperor, so Ming Lan's clothes were designed according to the very high specifications at that time. In the Song Dynasty, people thought cyan was higher than red, so brides like Ming Lan wore Tsing Yi.
