At six o'clock in the morning on October 5, 2014, Zhao Chaogang was wearing a new suit, and Zhao Chaogang was now wearing a Yanfu with five dragons embroidered on it, which was the talisman that Zhao Chaogang refined for himself.

Those dragons are actually the formation provisions on Zhao Chaogang's talisman robe, and Zhao Chaogang just wanted to look good, so he arranged the formation provisions on this talisman robe to look like a dragon.

It is precisely because these dragons are composed of formation stripes, so these dragons are very vivid, as if they are alive, and with Zhao Chaogang's dusty temperament, how to look at it, how to have a noble feeling.

Of course, if Zhao Chaogang wears such a costume and travels to the ancient society, I believe that before Zhao Chaogang reacts, he will become a wanted criminal, in the ancient society, only the emperor can wear clothes embroidered with dragons, however, in modern times, these don't matter, even some children's diapers have dragon patterns on them, not to mention Zhao Chaogang took them out and wore them.

Not only did Zhao Chaogang wear a dragon embroidered Yanyi for this engagement ceremony, but even Li Liping and Liu Jingjing were actually wearing the phoenix crown and xia veil worn by the queen in ancient times.

The phoenix crown refers to the outfit of a rich woman when she got married in the old days, as a sign of glory. It also refers to the costumes of ancient aristocratic women and women who were enshrined by the imperial court.

The phoenix crown is named after the phoenix embellishment. The phoenix is the king of all birds, so only queens or princesses are worthy of it, and it is usually only worn at grand ceremonies, such as weddings, and ordinary people are not allowed to wear it.

Veil, an ancient garment draped over the shoulder. The large collar placket is one of its major features, so it is also called a placket robe. In addition, it has slits under the left and right crotches and water sleeves. It is a luxurious and unrestrained casual wear. In the opera, the veil has always been the emperor, the general, the official, the gentry of the regular clothes, there are men, women's drapery, the color of red, blue, yellow, red, purple, pink, azure, etc., of which red is the representative color of the newlywed or festive.

Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty sang in "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers": "The rainbow dress and the xia are shaking the crown, and the sky is full of Pei Shanshan." ”

Every time I read this, I think of the women who wore phoenix crowns and wore xia veils in ancient times. I envy them very much, and they can dress up gorgeously and covetously on the happiest day of their lives. The jade belt python robe, the flower-pleated skirt below, and the red embroidered shoes, a touch of festivity and joy are just as happy as the heart. I think that the phoenix crown was originally the concubine's clothes. Worshipping heaven and earth is also the emperor's suburban gift. The life of a Chinese folk woman is also the king.

Ancient aristocratic women often wore phoenixes as crowns. In the Ming system, the crown of the queen's dress is decorated with nine dragons and four phoenixes. Mingshen Sect Dingling unearthed four phoenix crowns, the number of dragons and phoenixes is different. One of them is six dragons and three phoenixes, the dragon is at both ends of the top, and the mouth is long and beaded, which seems to have the meaning of playing phoenix. There are three winged phoenixes on the front.

There are three sideburns on the left and right under the back of the crown, which look like colorful phoenix tails when unfolded. The phoenix crown of the princess, princess, and crown princess is nine and four phoenixes. Hui is a colorful pheasant. The phoenix crowns of the first to seventh rank women do not have phoenixes, and are embroidered with different numbers of pheasants.

Xia Wei is also known as "Xia Phi", "Shawl". It is as gorgeous as the colorful glow, hence the name. The shawl is wrapped around the shoulder with a silk silk. Hand it over to your chest. "Shilin Guangji: Clothing" contains: "Jin Yongjiazhong, make a silk stun curtain, and make the princess obey it. "The Song Dynasty set the crown of the woman, and it was not allowed to be served unless it was a gift. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the clothing of the grade of the woman, from the first to the ninth grade of the princess, all of whom wore different embroidered patterns. The veil appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it got its name in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the Song Dynasty, it was included in the ranks of dresses. In the Ming Dynasty, it developed into a xia curtain - because its shape is as beautiful as a colorful xia, it was named "xia curtain". In the Ming Dynasty, it was more common to take this style, its shape was like a long colored hanging belt, each of which was three inches and two minutes wide and five feet seven inches long, and it was taken around the neck and hung on the chest, with a gold or jade pendant hanging at the lower end.

Phoenix Crown: A ceremonial crown worn by noble women in ancient times. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the color crown used in the general women's decoration was also called the phoenix crown, which was mostly used in weddings. According to the record of the "Daming Huidian": regular service, phoenix crown: double phoenix Yi dragon crown, with soap for it. Attached to Mount Cuibo.

It is decorated with a golden dragon and two pearls, all of which are beads. Before and after the pearl peony flower, stamen, green leaves, pearl and green flower sideburns, pearl cui cloud, etc. Three temples (a total of six fans on the left and right). There are two golden dragons, each with bead knots to pick up rows.

The empress of the Ming Dynasty can wear it to the wives of the civil officials of the ninth grade, and the color, pattern, decoration and materials are different according to the status level.

Xiawei: Xiahui is the dress of the palace wife, and civilian women can only wear it when they get married - according to Chinese etiquette, the big ceremony can be won, that is, the rituals, weddings and other occasions can be crossed upwards, not arrogated. The maiden's veil is regulated in terms of color and pattern. There are two kinds of xiawei, one is a kind of shawl clothing for ancient women. After the Song Dynasty, it was determined to be a life service, which varied with the grade. The Ming Dynasty made detailed regulations on the Xia Veil, one to nine products, each different. The second is a kind of expensive clothing of Taoism.

The difference between the grades of Xia Wei is mainly in the ornamentation, as follows:

The first and second grades of the women's xia veil are the golden embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern (Zhai: that is, the long-tailed mountain pheasant); the third and fourth grades are the golden embroidered Yunxia peacock pattern, the fifth grade is embroidered with the Yunxia mandarin duck pattern; the sixth and seventh grades are embroidered with the Yunxia practice magpie pattern; and the eighth and ninth grades are embroidered with the school pattern.

According to the record of the "Daming Huidian": regular clothes, big shirt Xia Wei: shirt - yellow, two collars straight down a foot, interspersed with buttons. The back body is longer than the previous body, the line is folded up, the end of the button two, the button is under the cover button, and the worship is put away. Kasumi veil – two side by side, the tips stitched, hanging in front of the body, hanging pendant, the flat end of which is stored in a triangular pocket behind the coat.

Dark blue for the quality, weaving gold clouds and dragons, decorated with beads. With a jade pendant, the dragon text. Ju clothes: red, with a cloud dragon text on the chest and back, decorated with beads. Four jackets (i.e., jackets): dark blue for the quality, gold embroidery group dragon text.

Big belt: The red line is for it, and there is a fate. The rest is either green or green. Rim jacket: yellow. The red-collared jacket is woven with gold and color cloud dragon text. Skirt: Red.

Ten pieces of jade ornaments and four pieces of gold ornaments. The jade flower picks the ribbon, the red line Luo tie one, and the white jade cloud like the two (if you wear it, there is a golden hook on everything). The green socks are the same as those made in Zhai's clothes.

It is precisely in order for Li Liping and Liu Jingjing to have a perfect engagement ceremony, so Zhao Chaogang will let Li Liping and Liu Jingjing wear the phoenix crown and xia veil that only queens can wear in ancient times, because when it comes to identity, the identities of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing are much more valuable than the queens in ancient times, but now they can only do so.

Li Liping and Liu Jingjing wore the phoenix crown xia veil is not the phoenix crown xia curtain of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the phoenix crown of the Tang Dynasty, only the strong Tang Dynasty's phoenix crown xia curtain can wear Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, as for other periods, especially the phoenix crown of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhao Chaogang can only hehe, and to be honest, among the phoenix crowns of these different dynasties, it is really the phoenix crown of the Tang Dynasty that is the best-looking.

Last night, Pingping and Jingjing had already arrived at Zhao Chaogang's godmother's house, so this time the godmother's house was regarded as Li Liping and Liu Jingjing's maiden home, after all, if it was really like an engagement in ancient times, go to Li Liping, Liu Jingjing's house to pick up Li Liping, Liu Jingjing's house, Liu Jingjing's words, it is very unrealistic.

Li Liping and Liu Jingjing's home is far away in Anxi City, and Zhao Chaogang's home is in Zhaojia Village, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, thousands of miles away from each other, so, according to local conditions, let the godmother's house be Pingping and Jingjing's home.

At half past five in the morning, Zhao Chaogang had already gone to the grave of his grandfather and grandmother with his parents and uncle, Zhao Chaogang knelt in front of the grave of his grandparents and informed his grandparents of his engagement today.

After worshipping his grandparents, Zhao Chaogang's uncle began to inspect the dowry, which was in accordance with the customs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, there were a total of 9 kinds of folk dowry
