Step Back in Time: Ancient Chinese Wedding Parade Dazzles Ninghai!
Hey there! 🎉 Imagine watching a wedding parade just like ones from 1,000 years ago! That’s exactly what happened on May 20 in Ninghai, a town in Zhejiang Province, in the Chinese mainland.
People lined the streets to see a special bridal parade featuring traditions from the Song Dynasty (which ruled China from 960 to 1279 AD—that’s like the Middle Ages!). The parade was filled with colorful costumes, music, and lots of excitement.
The event combined something called the “Ten-Mile Red Bridal Customs,” which is a super important cultural tradition in China, with ancient wedding practices. In old times, brides used to be carried in fancy carriages called palanquins, and there were joyful celebrations all around.
Everyone was amazed to see these old traditions come to life. It was like stepping into a history book! 📖 The parade showed how beautiful and special China’s ancient wedding customs are, and how they still bring joy to people today.
Visitors and locals had a blast learning about the old ways and seeing the stunning outfits. Some even dressed up themselves! It was a day full of fun, culture, and a bit of magic from the past. ✨
Would you like to see a parade like this? It’s a wonderful way to learn about history while having a great time! 🎊
