Ancient poems describing Xiuhe clothing

1. "Getting Married"

Anonymous

I was lying in bed sleepless that day,

The beautiful lady was getting married and the train was long.

The hairpin is made of red jade and embraces roses.

The body is dressed in red and embroidered with a phoenix.

Distant dreamers have new dreams and tears,

At this time, they recall the old makeup.

Later I didn’t understand the meaning of the spring breeze,

I was afraid that my love would fall into the rain pond.

2. "The Peach Blossom is Just Right"

Anonymous

The peach blossom is good, the beauty is beautiful, the phoenix robe is beautiful, the mandarin duck coat is beautiful.

Spring is here, the willow branches are new,

the sun is shining brightly outside the city, and the birds are flocking outside the window,

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

The east wind sends you away, the fragrant clouds welcome you,

A screen of silver hairpins, gold and pearls.

Pouring sake, adding red candles,

The wind and moon are beautiful, the beauty is beautiful,

Pretty, pretty, pretty.

Xiuhe suit is a type of Chinese Qing Dynasty wedding bridal dress. The production method of Xiuhe clothing is relatively complicated, and today Chaoshan handicraft is the most famous. Because of the popularity of the 2001 TV series "Orange Is Red", the costume worn by the heroine Xiuhe (played by Zhou Xun) was called "Xiuhe Suit" by some people.

Extended information

Xiuhe clothing style:

The "coat" of Xiuhe clothing refers to the double-breasted jacket on the upper body, and the "skirt" refers to the long skirt on the lower body . As times change, the styles of skirts and jackets have also changed a lot.

Before the 1970s, skirts and coats were "black coats and red skirts", and later evolved into "red coats and red skirts". In the past, coats were cut in Tang suits, with straight arms, wide bodies, and buttons. Now the popular style has been improved to suit shirts, slim waists, mid-sleeves, and zipper designs, making them more fashionable and comfortable.

The design of the middle sleeves not only highlights the beauty of the bride's body, but also allows the bride to see the bracelets, bracelets and other gold accessories she wears, expressing her gratitude for the gifts sent by her relatives and friends.

We can see two types of coats on the market today: straight hem and wavy hem. The straight hem is the most traditional style of all time.

Shuibo hem, as the name suggests, the hem will be shaped like a wave, the style is more special, the embroidery work will be relatively complicated, and the price will be more expensive than the straight hem.
