Taiyuan Traditional Hanfu and Ancient Costume

The Hanfu wedding in Taiyuan is a traditional Han ethnic wedding ceremony held by Hanfu enthusiasts in Taiyuan, wearing the traditional Han Chinese clothing “Hanfu”, based on the “Rites of Zhou – Ritual for the Marriage of a Scholar” to hold a traditional Han ethnic wedding that conforms to modern aesthetics and understanding of etiquette. It can be roughly categorized into Zhou-style weddings, Tang-style weddings, and Ming-style weddings. The traditional Hanfu wedding ceremony generally includes pre-wedding rituals (asking for consent → inquiring about the name → declaring good fortune → giving betrothal gifts → setting the wedding date), the main wedding (welcoming the bride → completing the ceremony upon arrival of the bride → sharing wine from a calabash → remaining rituals), and post-wedding rituals (the bride meeting her in-laws → the in-laws welcoming the bride with libations → the bride offering gifts to her in-laws).

One of the characteristics of Taiyuan gongs and drums is the prominence of cymbals. “You can see the performers wielding their cymbals left and right, flipping them up and down with the drum beats, spinning rapidly to create patterns.” It is understood that Taiyuan gongs and drums have a history of over a thousand years. When intense, they sound like mountains crashing and thunderous waves; when gentle, they are like a small stream flowing, or the sound of deer stepping on snow. The sounds are melodious, like pearls falling on jade plates, and the cymbals fly like the surging tide of a river, creating a majestic and earth-shaking effect.
