中国传统婚礼中总是用红色的东西来表达吉祥、祝福和隆重的意味。其实婚礼习俗也反映着中国的传统哲学思想
Traditional Chinese weddings are always filled with red things to bring auspicious blessings and respects. And even wedding customs reflect traditions from Chinese philosophy.
中国人将红色看做是幸福、成功、好运、忠诚和繁荣的象征。他们很喜欢红色,其实是由于对太阳的崇拜。在传统中国婚礼上,有红色的“囍”字、红色的丝带、红花和新娘的红衣。
The Chinese regard the color red as the symbol of happiness, success, luck, faith and growth. They like red very much, which comes from worship of the Sun. In traditional Chinese weddings, there are double Xi characters in red, red scarves, red flowers and the bride wears a red coat。
婚姻不仅是一对新人的结合,按照传统,婚姻也象征着两个家庭的结合。因此婚礼要能体现出婚姻的神圣,要能够吸引亲朋好友来参加。这里面有“天人合一”的思想。
A marriage is not only a merger of the couple; traditionally, it symbolizes the merger of two families. So the wedding ceremony should reflect the holiness of marriage, drawing the attention of relatives and friends. There is harmony between nature and the people inside.
