What were the ancient "rockhopper" and "Bi Xia" like?

The rockhopper dress is a complete set of words. In ancient China, only royal princesses, royal princesses or daughters of wealthy businessmen could wear them when they got married. This dress is just to show off her status or wealth. Of course, in A Dream of Red Mansions and a TV series, we can also see that women and their wives in the nobility were enfeoffed by the imperial court. For example, when they are named first-class ladies-in-waiting and second-class ladies-in-waiting, they can also wear rockhopper.

First of all, let's talk about the imperial robe and rockhopper. We all know that Phoenix is the king of birds. Usually, his partner can only match the real dragon emperor, so in ancient times, only the queen and princess were qualified to wear the rockhopper. In ordinary families, married daughters and daughters-in-law are not allowed to wear them, and they will be killed if they violate the regulations.

To put it bluntly, the rockhopper is a ceremonial crown worn on the top of the head and inserted in a bun. Generally, you will blame him for his rich and bright decorations, inlaid with many precious jewels, which shine from a distance.

Besides, there must be a phoenix in the middle of this headdress. They have pearls in their mouths. Generally, the front has wings spread in three directions, and the cauldron base has three sides in the left and right direction. After unfolding, this headdress has a special three-dimensional effect.

Next, let's talk about the iron in buckwheat. This iron is originally a robe, or a sweater with a big collar similar to ours now. Split left and right, like a sleeve of hibiscus emerging from water, similar to luxurious and unrestrained casual clothes. At first, this kind of clothes often appeared in operas, which were divided into nine colors, including big red, big blue, yellow, purple and pink. But we all know that in ancient times, the only representative color in wedding banquets and various celebrations was red.

Historically, the queen who really put on summer clothes was Amin Dynasty. At that time, the lower iron was worn by the queen, but it was hung on her chest and neck, and there must be pearls or jade under it.

Moreover, according to the etiquette of the Chinese land, people must feel that they must look taller at the wedding, so their robes will be brighter in color and the graphics and patterns will be conspicuous.
