Chinese Wedding DressIn the creation of novels, the Chinese wedding dress could be described from the following aspects:
** 1. Type and characteristics **
1. ** Dragon-Phoenix Gown **
- It was a traditional and gorgeous Chinese wedding dress with a Chic rating of 4 stars. It was suitable for petite brides and was often used for scenes such as receiving the bride, going out, and toasting.
- Its greatest features included the straight style, unique embroidery method, and fixed patterns. There was always a dragon and phoenix pattern on the dragon-phoenix gown. The color was usually red cloth with gold and silver embroidery. The design was to show the dragon's position.
- If one were to measure the value of a gown based on the density of embroidery, there would be the emperor of the gown (100% embroidery density), the back of the gown (70% and above), the big five blessings (50% - 70%), the middle five blessings (30% - 50%), and the small five blessings (30% and below). The entire dress was covered with gold and silver threads, making it look resplendent. In addition to the orthodox classification, there were also trendy gowns with colorful embroidery. In the traditional embroidery of dragon and phoenix robes, besides dragon and phoenix, mandarin ducks, water waves, five bats, copper coins, peonies, magpies, pomegranate, lotus flowers, butterflies, etc. were also commonly used patterns. The colors were mostly gold and silver.
2. ** Xiuhe Apparels **
- The Chic index of the Xiuhe dress was also 4 stars. It gave people the impression of being elegant, delicate, and girly. It was suitable for busty brides with slightly larger skeletons. It was mainly used for wedding and going out scenes.
- It was actually a jacket and skirt worn by women in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The top is a stand-up collar or a round neck or a right-lapped jacket, and the bottom is a horse-faced skirt. The lapel was divided into two parts: the front lapel (also known as the front lapel) and the back lapel, with obvious characteristics.
- Xiuhe clothes were usually embroidered with Chaozhou embroidery. The embroidery thread was of various colors, and the stitches were flat, making it look exquisite. The patterns were diverse. Not only could they embroider dragons and phoenixes, but they could also embroider auspicious flowers, plants, and animals such as peonies (symbolizing wealth), bats (symbolizing good fortune), and lilies (wishing the new couple harmony).
3. ** Malay Gown **
- The Chic index of the Malay jacket was 5 stars. It had the characteristics of contrasting colors, fashion, and international style. It was not picky about the figure and was suitable for scenes such as receiving a wedding, going out, and toasting.
- It was a wedding dress that was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It was first introduced into China after the traditional clothes brought by the Chinese when they went to Nanyang were improved. The colors were rich and bold, and the workmanship was exquisite. All kinds of auspicious patterns could be integrated into the clothing through color contrast.
- The patterns were flexible and varied. Other than the peony and phoenix patterns that represented happiness and good fortune, it was different from the traditional dragon-phoenix gown, which mainly had dragon and phoenix patterns. In addition to traditional embroidery techniques, it also combined Indian silk, hot diamonds, fixed beads, and other western elements. It used imported fabrics and pure western cutting. The short top, waist design, and A-line skirt could better highlight the bride's figure.
** 2. The role in the plot of the novel **
1. ** Cultural symbolism **
- In the novel, the Chinese wedding dress could symbolize traditional culture and family inheritance. For example, when describing the wedding of a traditional family, the bride would wear a dragon-phoenix gown. The exquisite dragon-phoenix pattern and gorgeous gold and silver embroidery not only represented the beauty of the bride, but also symbolized the glory of the family and respect for tradition. The elders in the family might be very careful about the choice of wedding clothes during the wedding preparation process, emphasizing the cultural content of the family carried by the wedding dress.
2. ** Character Creation **
- Through the bride's choice of Chinese wedding dress, the character could be shaped. For example, a bride who pursued fashion but loved traditional culture might choose a Malay gown. Her image in the novel might be both traditional and modern, open-minded and innovative. On the other hand, a gentle and traditional bride might fall in love with Xiuhe clothes. Her love for wedding dresses could reflect her gentleness, introversion, and respect for traditional customs.
3. ** Plot Promotion **
- The preparation process of the wedding dress could promote the development of the plot of the novel. For example, when preparing for a wedding, a series of stories might happen because of the production, modification, or search for a suitable wedding dress. For example, in the novel, the bride's wedding dress had an accident during the production process. The originally scheduled dragon and phoenix gown was embroidered with the wrong dragon pattern because of the mistake of the embroidery master. This led to a series of conflicts, such as negotiations with the embroidery workshop, whether to redo it, whether there was enough time, and so on.
