Chapter 961 946. Dahan Wedding (25)
Wang Bo's hometown is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, which is close to the Central Plains, especially Fengcheng, and the ancient Central Plains can be reached through two more cities. Therefore, traditional customs are still preserved in important events such as weddings and funerals.
This is also the reason why he brought Eva to the wedding. Zhou Haojie's family is in a good condition, so such a big event like a wedding is naturally a big deal. He believes that this time Eva can see a traditional Chinese wedding.
To be precise, what was about to be displayed before their eyes was a Chinese-style wedding.
Han-style wedding is one of the most traditional wedding methods of the Han people. It is different from ordinary Chinese weddings, and it is very different from Chinese weddings such as Qing Dynasty style and Republic of China style.
Because Wang Bo wanted to introduce Eva and Little Lolita, he did some homework in advance.
Chinese-style weddings are based on Zhou rituals, with elegance, nobility, and solemnity as the charm. Tracing back to the source, it is a national wedding that truly embodies the classic Chinese culture and tradition.
In the tradition of the Chinese nation, Chinese-style weddings are regarded as the foundation of ritual and music civilization, as the starting point of human relations and social order, and as the origin of the harmony between man and nature and the transformation of all things.
Only such a wedding can match the steadfast and deep emotions between the couple, and match our own national identity and cultural traditions.
Of course, after all, this is just an ordinary family wedding, and it won't be completely retro, but adopts the Chinese wedding method in some styles.
For example, wedding dresses, as Zhou Haojie showed in the group before, the wedding dresses of Chinese weddings are divided into different styles according to different periods, so as to choose the corresponding dress colors and styles.
During the Han and Zhou Dynasties, black and red were advocated. For a Han-style wedding, you can choose red and black trains or clothes.
Tang-style Chinese-style weddings can choose the matching of red men and green women; while Ming-style weddings generally choose Ming Dynasty official clothes, and the bride is mostly a phoenix crown and Xiapei.
Wang Bo got up early in the morning, and Eva got up in a daze, sighing: "My God, it feels so uncomfortable not to get enough sleep, why does our body need so much sleep?"
Dai'er, who was fiddling with a small red Tang suit, turned her head and said, "Sister, you obviously went to bed at nine o'clock last night! Eight hours, you slept for eight hours!"
Eva glared at her: "Only you remember clearly!"
Wang Bo, who was changing into his suit, said with a smile, "Be quiet, Dai'er. Don't you know that your sister needs to sleep for at least ten hours? She is getting up now."
Eva made a face at him: "But no!"
It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark, but the first part of the wedding was about to begin.
Chinese-style weddings are generally divided into three steps, including pre-wedding rituals, formal wedding rituals, and post-wedding rituals.
The pre-wedding rituals are Nacai, name asking, Najib, Nazheng, and asking for a date. These are all over, and today is the official wedding.
The first is to welcome relatives, that is, to welcome relatives. Fengcheng is an ancient city, which was born in the Zhou Dynasty, formed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and flourished in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Because the city does not have any important strategic position, in some modern wars, it has repeatedly avoided disasters and perfectly preserved some ancient buildings.
Zhou Haojie's wedding venue was arranged in an antique building hotel called 'Western Zhou Dynasty'. There is an antique building hall in the hotel, and the wedding banquet will be held there.
Wang Bo helped Eva tidy up the dress. She chose a burgundy cheongsam that fit her body tightly. The strong shaping ability of the cheongsam perfectly matched Eva's uneven figure, making her look extraordinarily graceful.
This cheongsam is slit up to the knees, and Eva's straight calves can be displayed while walking. Especially in order to avoid the cold, she put on cotton pantyhose of the same color, so Wang Bo immediately felt very impressed when he saw it.
The trouble is the hairstyle, which needs to be tucked behind the head. Wang Bo asked Zhou Haojie to contact the wedding company in advance, and he gave out his wallet to round up the team of makeup artists, and by the way, Eva was styled.
This is one of the reasons why they get up early.
When they arrived at the wedding company, Zhou Haojie and Li Jiayi were both putting on makeup inside. Wang Bo sent Eva in and found Yao Ranran, Song Tiantian, Zhao Xiaohui and other female classmates also there. He was surprised: "You guys got up early enough!"
"Follow Wang Da Tuhao to get rich, and also invite professionals to make up and do hair." Zhao Xiaohui said happily.
Wang Bo couldn't understand, these women are crazy, they can get up early in the cold winter just to make up.
Seeing several female classmates waiting, Eva waved her hand and said she would be the last one. Song Tiantian was very embarrassed and said, "No, baby, you come first."
Eva hugged Wang Bo's arm and yawned: "No, you guys come first, I'm not being polite, I want to take this opportunity to sleep for a while."
Others thought she was being polite, but the beautiful teacher really fell asleep with her arms around Wang Bo...
Doing makeup and hair is a waste of time. It will be almost eight o'clock after the girls are done, and it will be nine o'clock when they are ready to pack their things.
Eva's blond hair was braided, and then the braids were used as petals to form a rose. With her light makeup, it was not coquettish, only dignified and elegant.
After seeing it, Wang Bo exclaimed: "This design ability is simply amazing."
The make-up artist smiled and said, "It's your girlfriend's temperament and appearance that are amazing."
Next, Zhou Haojie went to meet his relatives, carrying a big sedan chair in a serious manner.
Fan Dong and his entourage ran to take a group photo, Wang Bo pushed them away, and scolded with a smile: "You are so bold, you dare to touch the dragon sedan chair of my Lord Zhou privately, if it weren't for my Lord's big day today, you will definitely regret it!"
The Hanfu Zhou Haojie was wearing was black, with flowers and golden dragons on it, a jade pendant on his waist, and a short sword symbolizing bravery. He looked like a prince.
He got on the horse with great difficulty, and said, "Little Bozi, take them down first, and after we get married, I will take them down for fun."
Fan Dong laughed strangely: "You'd better have fun with the bride, we can't let you have fun."
The sedan chair departs from Zhou Haojie's house. There is a saying that the sedan chair is called bright sedan chair. The sedan chair stops at the door of the groom's house to show ownership to the neighbors.
Then there is the sedan chair, the groom comes to the bride's house, and the bride gets on the sedan chair.
One advantage of adopting a Chinese-style wedding is that there is no laborious process of stuffing red envelopes and opening the door to snatch a daughter-in-law. After going there, Li Jiayi, wearing a red train and gold and silver jewelry, boards the sedan chair, and then goes to the Dazhou Dynasty Hotel.
After Li Jiayi sat down, the lead bearer shouted, "Get up!"
After the sedan chair was lifted up, it shook twice, and Eva said, "It must be very heavy."
Wang Bo explained with a smile: "This is called bumping the sedan chair. It is a process, which means blocking evil spirits, which means blocking bad things from approaching the bride."
The hotel is on the outskirts of the city, so naturally it is impossible to really carry the sedan chair fifteen or sixteen kilometers to the suburbs. The bearer carried the sedan chair out of two streets, and then sent the sedan chair to the truck, and everyone drove there together.
