Tang Dynasty system

Some people believe that this is the origin of red wedding dress.

Public uniform, also known as "from the provincial service", refers to the daily wear on general occasions, but not the daily life of the household.

(can be seen in costume themed official uniform).

Public service has certain etiquette functions, such as wearing in wedding, but not as formal as those used in costume.

The official uniform includes crown, hairpin and hairpin guide, red yarn single, white skirt, leather belt, Fang Xin, stockings, pouch, double Pei and Wu pee.

The dress is "flower and Chai" and "green dress".

If a husband has an official, he will take it from his husband. "

For the gold and silver ornaments with glass, and so on, the hairpin has the meaning of grade.

Since the Han Dynasty, Han women's dresses were mostly made of deep garments, because the clothes under their jackets were a metaphor for women's "de GUI Yi Yi".

However, when the Tang Dynasty was flourishing, some scholars represented by Mr. Shen Congwen held the view that "the Tang Dynasty ladies' dressing system is divided".

And the "wedding dress" here mainly refers to the argument of "Tian Chai Li Yi".

Etiquette books in the Tang Dynasty, such as "Tong Dian", "will", "Old Tang Shu, public service", "New Tang Dynasty, car service", "Kaiyuan Li", and so on, are as follows.

Make the same clothes, add nine pairs of peas, one product, two, eight, eight, seven, four, six, and five.

Some people think that Zhai Yi is a deep garment system. Since "making the same clothes", it is also the mainstream view of the deep clothing system that agrees with Mr. Shen Congwen.
