In many historical dramas, it is often seen that ancient brides will be draped in "red hijabs" when they get married, and even put them into songs in modern times, and the folk song "Lift Up Your Hijab" believes that many people are catchy, but in fact, the red hijab, which is regarded as a symbol of romantic celebration, is derived from a bloody story.
According to legend, Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty had a brave and courageous and resourceful emperor named Wen Zhong, who was the elder of the Three Dynasties, highly skilled in martial arts, and invincible, and not only did the ministers of the Court respect him very much, but even the King of Lu was very much in awe of him. However, he was not afraid of heaven, he was notoriously afraid of his wife, and seeing his wife was like a mouse seeing a cat, and only the king of the whole world did not know this.
Once, when Wen Zhongxi was victorious in his western expedition, king Huan immediately led the minister of culture and military affairs out of the city to greet him, and also held a banquet outside the city to reward the three armies. During the banquet, a minister half-jokingly ridiculed Wen Zhong in public and said, "You can't even get your wife, and you are not so divine and martial", Yu Bi immediately caused the courtiers to laugh, and Wen Zhong was blushing and did not say a word.
Wen Zhong was afraid that his wife's affairs had inadvertently been overheard by the King of Gong, and he suppressed his doubts, privately changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and quietly went out of the palace to investigate, but he did not expect that just after walking to the door of Wen Zhong's house, he saw the heroic and divine martial general kneeling in front of his wife to be trained, which made him very shocked.
After the fiery King Huan returned to the palace, he immediately announced that the courtiers would take their wives to the temple the next day, and Wen Zhong's wife was naturally among them. Unexpectedly, just after everyone had finished their worship and took their seats, king Huan immediately ordered the guards to tie up Wen Zhong's wife and rebuke him in public, "I am a great general of the Shang Dynasty, who was humiliated by such a foolish woman as you, and knelt on the ground to listen to your reprimand, do you want to sit on an equal footing with me?"
The King of Qiu then ordered her head to be cut off, and Wen Zhong's wife split her head on the spot, and the blood spurted wildly, and someone took a white aya and put it on her neck, and soon the blood was stained red. When the king saw this, he ordered the people to hang this blood-stained red silk high at the head of the city, and ordered the bride to cover her head with a red cloth when she was married, so as to warn the women of the world that after marriage, they should not humiliate men arbitrarily, but should listen to their husbands' calls and serve their husbands wholeheartedly.
After that, the wives of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials no longer dared to speak up to their husbands. This rule has been passed down from generation to generation, and the custom of the bride wearing a red hijab is still there, but few people mention this reason.
