My ‘Big Fat’ Qing Wedding
Wednesday 27 March 201312:15
Hey guys! It’s my second day in Chengdu and today I visited the Sichuan
University Museum. Nope, it wasn’t about the university’s history, instead it
was about China’s rich culture! I had loads of fun looking at all the artifacts
but my favorite was the Qing dynasty wedding! I loved how grand everything
looked; from the carriage to the type of outfit the bride has to wear. Sadly,
pandas like me can’t have such a royal wedding…sigh. But well, here is a short photo spread of the
exhibit for you guys to see. Hope you enjoy!
The brides of the Qing dynasty were treated like royals on their wedding
day; arriving in a traditional carriage like one of this.
The wedding gowns were stitched with intricate and colorful patterns
that enhance the bride’s beauty on this auspicious occasion.
The Qing dynasty
men paraded along the carriages with hats.
Why? Because the more hats, the more wealth.
So how many hats do you wish to have?
