What are the stories about the ancient rules when getting married?
The story of "red hijab".
According to legend, Shang Zhou had an uncle, who shot down more than half of the Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wang respected this uncle very much, and all the officials were respectful to him. But the only thing this general lacks is his fear of his wife. After a long time, it spread all over the government.
On one occasion, General Wen Zhong returned triumphantly from the front, and Zhou Wang personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to meet him in the suburbs. Then a big banquet was held to celebrate his success. During the dinner, a colleague boldly played a joke with General Wen Zhong, pointing to his nose and saying that he was afraid of his wife, which caused everyone to burst into laughter. Wen Zhong was bewildered and didn't know how to reply. The scene was very embarrassing.
Zhou Wang once saw his uncle, who was always tall and mighty in the DPRK, kneeling in front of his aunt to pay his respects to his wife. Zhou Wang flew into a rage.
The next day, Zhou Wang ordered the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to take their wives to the temple, and no one was allowed to come without an excuse. In front of the civil and military officials, he ordered his aunt to be beheaded. Blood gushed from the neck of the woman whose head was cut off, and the warrior quickly took a piece of white silk and wrapped it on it. The deep red blood quickly dyed three feet of white silk.
Zhou Wang immediately issued an order to warn women all over the world that they should not humiliate and despise men after marriage. From now on, all girls who get married should wear red silk on their heads, cover their heads, live in their husbands' homes and serve their husbands wholeheartedly! The custom of the bride getting married with a red hijab on her head was formed and passed down from generation to generation.
Extended information
According to historical records, as early as the Han Dynasty, there was a prototype of "hijab". The ancients began to hold wedding ceremonies only in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties. People should not only choose auspicious days, but also feast their neighbors.
Only when special circumstances make it impossible, will they get married by meeting their aunts and uncles with Shameng. "Yarn" is the earliest "hijab". After that, the hijab gradually became an important ornament in the wedding ceremony.
Among many colors, red is the most festive, so the bride's hijab is mostly made of red silk, which represents lucky strike. Some red veils are embroidered with patterns such as dragons, phoenixes and mandarin ducks, while others are decorated with colorful spikes.
