1.1 What Is Chinese Wedding Attire?
2
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,533
Wedding attire has never been merely a
3
00:01:10,533 --> 00:01:11,700
beautiful garment.
4
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:12,933
It is a material expression
5
00:01:12,966 --> 00:01:15,600
of ritual order, a reflection
6
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,866
of aesthetic ideals,
7
00:01:16,866 --> 00:01:18,866
and a cultural symbol connecting personal
8
00:01:18,866 --> 00:01:21,166
identity with emotional
9
00:01:21,166 --> 00:01:23,666
and familial expectations.
10
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:25,433
From the emergence of ceremonial systems
11
00:01:25,433 --> 00:01:27,133
in the Shang and Zhou dynasties
12
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:29,000
to the interaction between Chinese
13
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,400
and Western dress traditions
14
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,133
in modern times, every stitch reflects its
15
00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:36,466
historical period, while every motif
16
00:01:36,466 --> 00:01:38,733
carries a particular wish or blessing.
17
00:01:38,733 --> 00:01:41,766
First, wedding attire represents ritual
18
00:01:41,766 --> 00:01:42,200
order.
19
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,066
Rooted in the traditional Six Rites
20
00:01:45,066 --> 00:01:45,666
of marriage, its forms
21
00:01:45,666 --> 00:01:48,100
and colors transformed abstract ritual
22
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,200
principles into visible clothing
23
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,000
conventions.
24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,200
Wearing appropriate wedding attire
25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,100
therefore emphasized the solemnity
26
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,466
and sacred character of marriage.
27
00:01:57,466 --> 00:02:01,200
Second, wedding attire embodies aesthetic
28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,800
values.
29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,966
From the ancient combination of black
30
00:02:04,966 --> 00:02:06,633
and reddish yellow to phoenix coronets
31
00:02:06,633 --> 00:02:08,666
and embroidered ceremonial robes,
32
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:10,700
and from elaborate embroidery
33
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:12,766
to delicate fastening details,
34
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:15,166
wedding garments demonstrate changing
35
00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:16,433
ideals of Chinese craftsmanship
36
00:02:16,433 --> 00:02:17,900
and beauty.
37
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:20,966
Third, wedding attire expresses emotional
38
00:02:20,966 --> 00:02:22,000
expectations.
39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,666
It is not simply the formal clothing
40
00:02:25,666 --> 00:02:25,833
of the bride and groom,
41
00:02:25,833 --> 00:02:28,366
but also a carrier of family blessings.
42
00:02:28,366 --> 00:02:31,300
Decorative motifs frequently express
43
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:33,066
wishes for an enduring marriage,
44
00:02:33,066 --> 00:02:36,800
harmony between husband and wife,
45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,200
prosperity, and happiness.
46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,666
To understand Chinese wedding attire,
47
00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:41,766
therefore, we must look beyond its
48
00:02:41,766 --> 00:02:44,533
external appearance and examine the
49
00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:47,100
cultural traditions and historical values
50
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:47,666
behind it.
51
00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:50,833
This presentation examines Chinese wedding
52
00:02:50,833 --> 00:02:53,333
attire through six interconnected
53
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:54,200
dimensions.
54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,166
First, we will trace the origin
55
00:02:56,166 --> 00:02:58,366
of the ancient term “dusk rite,” or hunli,
56
00:02:58,366 --> 00:03:00,600
and explain why weddings were
57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,300
traditionally associated with dusk and
58
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,433
with the philosophical concept
59
00:03:05,433 --> 00:03:07,500
of harmony between yin and yang.
60
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,233
Second, we will follow the historical
61
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:12,866
development of Chinese wedding attire,
62
00:03:12,866 --> 00:03:14,866
from the ancient black
63
00:03:14,866 --> 00:03:17,733
and reddish-yellow ceremonial system
64
00:03:17,733 --> 00:03:20,433
to the distinctive wedding styles
65
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:21,800
of the Tang, Song, Ming, Qing,
66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,600
and modern periods.
67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,033
Third, we will examine wedding attire
68
00:03:26,033 --> 00:03:27,933
as a carrier of ritual culture,
69
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:30,466
exploring how clothing transformed
70
00:03:30,466 --> 00:03:32,433
Confucian ritual principles
71
00:03:32,433 --> 00:03:34,800
and traditional family structures
72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,233
into visible symbols.
73
00:03:36,233 --> 00:03:38,600
Fourth, we will look at the basic
74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,333
structures of traditional Chinese
75
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:43,466
clothing, including the
76
00:03:43,466 --> 00:03:46,000
upper-garment-and-lower-skirt system,
77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,033
the shenyi, robes, and ruqun.
78
00:03:48,033 --> 00:03:50,666
Fifth, we will interpret the symbolic
79
00:03:50,666 --> 00:03:52,466
language of auspicious motifs,
80
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:55,266
including dragons and phoenixes,
81
00:03:55,266 --> 00:03:57,133
pomegranates, and peonies.
82
00:03:57,133 --> 00:04:00,033
Finally, through these forms, colors,
83
00:04:00,033 --> 00:04:01,466
materials, and motifs,
84
00:04:01,466 --> 00:04:04,766
we will consider the deeper cultural
85
00:04:04,766 --> 00:04:06,366
meanings of wedding attire,
86
00:04:06,366 --> 00:04:09,566
particularly its relationship
