This phenomenon appear that Chinese brides wear For further information about the wedding dresses on the wedding, and many foreign brides wear Chinas Cheongsam on the wedding. Why does this phenomenon appear?


In the western countries, the great mass of brides wear white wedding dresses on their weddings. In China, most of brides wear red Chinas Cheongsam on the wedding, especially in the old days. Its a traditional custom. Because people wearing white clothes is unlucky in China. And the red color is lucky. So the bride must wear red clothes on the wedding. However, a large number of Chinese brides wear wedding dresses on the wedding, and many foreign brides wear Chinas Cheongsam on the wedding. It sounds interesting. Why does this phenomenon appear? I think there are three reasons as follows: Firstly, there are more and more communications among all the countries in the world with the development of science technology. In the old days.


Chinese didnt understand why the western brides wear the square neck wedding dress. In the views of Chinese traditional culture, wearing white clothes is unlucky. But with more and more communication among all the countries in the world, people all over the world know each other , and realize the differences between Chinese traditional culture and other countries traditional culture. Chinese realize why the western brides wear the white wedding gowns. White means sanity and purity in western traditional culture, and the brides are holy, so the brides put on white wedding dresses to tell that they are holy.


Then Chinese understand why the western brides wear the white wedding gowns. Secondly, young people in China accept new things easily. Many young people dont retain the Chinese traditional customs. They like attempting. They accept the views of western countries, even they are eager to try it, such as wear white wedding dresses in marriage. Young brides think its so cool and beautiful. The foreign brides wear white wedding dresses on the wedding, so do I. Most people know the culture of western countries, they also easily accept that brides wear white wedding dresses on the wedding. Thirdly, many Chinese brides think it is a fashion that you wear wedding gowns, not Chinas Cheongsam.


So some Chinese traditional brides may wear white wedding dresses in marriage. And foreign brides wear Chinas cheongsam because they want to try. Then more and more Chinese traditional brides may wear white wedding dresses in marriage, and more and more foreign brides wear Chinas cheongsam. It becomes a fashion gradually. Certainly, many chinese traditional brides still wear red Chinas Cheongsam in marriage. And many foreign brides still wear white wedding gowns, because it is a traditional custom. I think it is good that people keep their traditional customs.


But I prefer that Chinese bride wear white wedding dresses on the wedding and the foreign brides wear Chinas Cheongsam. We can see all the countries cultures are integrated in the world. It is the identity of Chinese and the western countries. I think it shows an open view, an open China, an open World.
