The wedding is approaching, although Ji Ying is not colorful, the whole city is indeed new, only the palace outside the road gate is not built by the royal court, so it has not been completed until now. After judging that there would be no snow for three days, the temple people spread a layer of red Chu paper on the four-mile-long road from the south gate of Jiying to the road gate. Snow white and paper red, the red carpet effect makes the palace more solemn.

In the renovated main bedroom, Xiong Jing also has to try on the wedding dress for the wedding. According to Confucius, the big wedding is 'the good of the two surnames, so that after the first saint, he is the master of the heaven and earth temple society', 'heaven and earth are not compatible, all things are invincible, and the big wedding is the heir of eternity. This is the most important thing, so it has to be very solemn.

The wedding dress at the time of the wedding is basically the same as the gown of the ancestors of the gods and the crowned adult. This is the most precious clothing for men, ordinary people in later generations really want to marry with ancient rites, men should wear birds, Xuanyi and clothes, Su with Zhu Huang, Peiyu hanging sword, red socks; The woman has white lips in front of her, and the edge clothes (Xuanbu red edge is called the edge) are black.

The crown of the lord is worn by the soldiers, and the bear is the king, and his crown is a crown, with nine threads and two hundred and sixteen beads. The clothes under the crown are extremely complicated - fortunately, his height and body width have long been known, and there is no need to measure them as carefully as sewing a robe for Mi Xuan - first of all, you must wear a plain Ze clothes at the innermost, Ze clothes are underwear, which are close to the body and absorb sweat, so it is called Ze.

'How can it be said that there is no clothes, and the same Ze as the son', it is Zeyi. Robes are often used in conjunction with robes, robes, and buds; Buds, underwear also. Both of them are underwear with meat attached to them, and Yan Pao Ze indicates that they are intimate with each other. The difference between the two is that Ze is a single coat, while the robe has two layers, and the middle is often stuffed with silk wool and hemp, which is used to keep warm in winter.

Of course, Xiong Jing doesn't know how to wear a robe, and he wears a robe when he wants to go out of the city to greet the queen. Qiu is a leather top, according to its rank, there are big fur, black fur, fox white fur, fox green fur, tiger fur, wolf fur, sheep fur, dog fur is divided. The common people can only wear sheep fur and dog fur, the warrior guards can wear tiger fur and wolf fur, the highest fox green fur above the scholar can wear the fox green fur, the highest can wear the fox white fur above the doctor, and the princes can wear the highest black fur.

Xiong Jing is not called the Son of Heaven, so he can only wear a black fur and cannot wear a big fur. Yellow fur, black and white are called black, and black fur is the black lamb skin of the big fur and the white fox skin of the fox white fur are sewn like a mosaic, one white and one black. Fortunately, these square color blocks are not too small, they don't look dazzling, and the coat color is extremely pure.

The garment shall be clothed. The fur of the pre-Qin is on the outside, and the skin is on the inside. In order not to be seen as a beast and not to look ugly, it is necessary to put a coat on the outside. The clothes are plain, the princes of the Son of Heaven use plain brocade, and the doctors and scholars use plain silk.

The crown is not directly worn on the top of the robe, the big wedding is a big gift, and the big gift must be worn in the middle clothes. The middle coat is opposite the deep coat. The deep coat is connected to the clothes, the upper and lower are integrated, there are straight and curved clothes, and the middle coat is actually still a top, not a deep coat that is integrated up and down. The middle clothes are plain, and its texture is the same as the main clothes, the main clothes are silk clothes, the middle clothes are silk clothes, the main clothes are cloth clothes, and the middle clothes are cloth clothes.

Above the middle garment, is the crown garment. The five chapters of its jacket are originally dragons, mountains, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi. Si Yi removed the dragon according to the tradition of the Chu State and added it with a phoenix. The phoenix is actually male, and the phoenix is female. Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang said that there is no problem with auspiciousness, if you use Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang to express love and marriage, then it will be a foundation.

Like the Cai Zhai on the queen's robe, the colorful phoenix occupies the entire crown robe, and the dark color matches the five colors, solemn and quiet, not angry but self-assured. The space outside the phoenix is embroidered with the chapters of mountain, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi. It's a pity that such a gorgeous and solemn formal dress is for etiquette, and sometimes it is necessary to add a raider. The so-called 'attack of the service is also beautiful'. Charge, still covered. The purpose of wearing a suit is to cover up the ornate formal dress so that the beauty of the formal dress is not seen by others.

According to the people of Siyi Temple, this is a kind of respect or modesty. The effect of raiding clothes is the opposite of that of dressing, which covers the ugliness as a sign of respect; Cover the beauty with a garment as a sign of respect. Different occasions and different etiquette have different usages, at least when Xiong Jing goes to the post house to welcome the queen, he must wear a shirt to cover the formal clothes.

Ze Yi, Huang Qiu, Clothes, Medium Clothes, Crown Clothes, Raid Clothes, Xiong Jing wore a total of six tops. As for the clothes, it is relatively simple, the innermost is the robe, and after the black coat, the coat, and the middle coat are the crown clothes. The reason why clothes are not as troublesome as clothes is that clothes are actually very long, and clothes do not have to wear six pieces. The crown is colored, and there are four chapters embroidered on it: algae, pink rice, yellow, and yellow. The top and bottom add up to a total of nine chapters, which is the number of princes.

Below the crown, there is a foot garment and a shoe. The foot clothes are socks, and the Chu character is written as '韈', which was originally made of leather, and the common people changed it to hemp because they couldn't afford to wear it. The color of the foot clothes is red, and the clothes are the same color, and the black silk is pure. It is the same color as the silk (the thin round roller strip between the upper and the sole) pure (the edge of the upper mouth of the upper), and the decoration is on the head, the purpose is to "think that the precepts" and "make the eyes low, not look at it".

From head to toe, it took more than a quarter of an hour for the palace maid at the clothing department to help Xiong Jing put on a crown, put on clothes, and put on good socks. However, it was not over, and the garments were in good shape, but the ornaments on the outside of the garments were not yet in good condition. When Xiong Jing wanted to look at himself in the mirror, the palace maid who tied his belt directly crashed into his arms. He glared at her, and found that she didn't seem to look bad, and he couldn't help but feel related. The palace maid hurriedly pleaded guilty, and tied her belt after being exempted.

The belts of the princes of the Son of Heaven are called big belts, which are four inches wide (circumference, 7.88cm) and three feet long. The appearance is plain, the upper edge is vermilion, the lower edge is vermilion, but the inside of the belt of the Son of Heaven is vermilion, and although the princes' belt is the same, the inside is plain.

The belt is the support of the ornament, and there is a black in the middle of the belt; Peiyu on both sides, and a sword on the left. It is about three feet long. The knee cover is earlier than the garment, because it is a thing to cover the hook, and the ancients would hang a large or small knee cover or leaf on the waist without clothes;

The two sides of the yellow are jade, 'the gentleman does not go to the jade for no reason', the era of the collapse of etiquette, the princes often use the white jade that can only be used by the Son of Heaven, but this time the wedding jade strictly adopts the jade of the mountain of Zhou Li, decorated with a red ribbon. Because it was a big pendant, the sound when he walked around was different from usual, and Xiong Jing believed that even if he stepped up from the south, the Xizhang room could hear the sound.

The last thing he wore was the sword, and even if it was a leather belt instead of a ribbon, the weight of the five-foot king's sword still made the belt tilt to the left. Xiong Jing habitually shook and shook the sword grid, and then looked at himself in Lu Li's mirror. Because of the obscuration of the nine crowns, he couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see the outline of his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and the thicker and thicker beard under the bridge of his nose, and his first feeling was that this was not quite like the bridegroom who was about to get married, this was a majestic king.
