In fact, this idea is wrong. With the evolution of history, the wedding system in ancient China has changed to some extent, and so have the clothes worn by couples when they get married. In ancient times, people not only wore bright red clothes. At different times, people wear different styles and colors and even different materials when they get married.
In the Zhou Dynasty, people always wore all-black clothes when they got married. At that time, people thought that black had a single meaning, so when they got married, both husband and wife usually wore black clothes, which meant integrity and solemnity. This wedding system didn't last long. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the clothes people wore when they got married changed again.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, people's skills in making clothes were improved to a certain extent, and they were very particular about accessories, shoes and hats. At that time, people got married, and the woman usually wore a long black dress, while the south wore a red wedding dress. This marriage custom has a long history. After that, people also made some improvements in wedding dresses. For example, in the Han Dynasty, women began to have hijab.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people were more open-minded, and the colors of the dresses they wore when they got married were not just black and red. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, turquoise wedding dresses appeared. At that time, the woman chose green clothes and the man chose red clothes. On the wedding day, both men and women should wear their own hats to make the whole person look more dignified and generous. From a modern point of view, the color of this dress is incredible.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, although people's clothing characteristics were not much different from those in the Qin and Han Dynasties, people thought that they should pursue freshness and elegance in their lives because of the prevalence of metaphysics at this time. At that time, people especially liked white when they wore clothes. At that time, people thought that white could not only be used as a color matching for ordinary clothes, but also as a dress. So at that time, when couples got married, they often wore white wedding dresses, which looked more quiet and elegant. At that time, people often wore some accessories when they wore white dresses. For example, women will wear some streamers, while men will wear badges, which look elegant.
Therefore, in ancient times, people's minds were very open. The ancients didn't have to wear dahongpao to get married. Red does have a festive meaning in China, but in different periods, people also have different customs and cultures. What clothes people wear when they get married has a lot to do with the cultural theory at that time. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people wore white wedding dresses, symbolizing the sweetness and elegance of love and lasting forever.
