婚礼与节庆中的传统服饰 | Traditional Dress at Weddings and Festivals

不同场合穿不同衣服——中国人在婚礼、春节、中秋等重要时刻的着装讲究多到你想不到。

Different occasions call for different clothes — Chinese dress codes for weddings, Spring Festival, and Mid-Autumn are more particular than you'd imagine.

婚礼着装 | Wedding Attire

新娘 — 当代中式婚礼新娘最常穿秀禾服（红色绣花长袍）或龙凤褂（金线密绣外套）。西式环节换白色婚纱，敬酒环节再换一套红色晚礼服——一场婚礼换三套衣服很正常。

Brides at modern Chinese weddings most often wear xiuhe gowns (red embroidered robes) or dragon-phoenix jackets (gold-thread embroidered coats). They change to a white wedding dress for Western-style segments, then a red evening gown for the toasting segment — three outfit changes per wedding is normal.

宾客着装禁忌 — ①不穿全红（抢新娘风头）②不穿全白或全黑（丧事联想）③不穿过于暴露的衣服。安全选择：女士穿粉色/蓝色连衣裙，男士穿深色西装。

Guest dress taboos: ① No all-red (upstaging the bride) ② No all-white or all-black (funeral association) ③ Nothing too revealing. Safe choices: women in pink/blue dresses, men in dark suits.

春节着装 | Spring Festival Attire

春节穿新衣是传统——"新年穿新衣，来年好运气"。红色是首选颜色，但不必全身红。一件红色毛衣、一条红围巾或红袜子就足够表达节日氛围。老人穿唐装、小孩穿中式棉袄是经典画面。

Wearing new clothes for Spring Festival is tradition — "new clothes for the new year bring good luck." Red is the preferred color, but you don't need head-to-toe red. A red sweater, red scarf, or red socks suffice. Elders in Tang suits and children in padded Chinese jackets are classic scenes.

中秋与重阳 | Mid-Autumn and Double Ninth

中秋节没有严格的着装要求，但近年来穿汉服过中秋成为新潮流——特别是在公园赏月活动中。重阳节登高时穿运动装即可，但头上插茱萸是传统（现在多用菊花代替）。

Mid-Autumn has no strict dress code, but wearing Hanfu for the festival has become a new trend — especially at park moon-viewing events. Double Ninth mountain climbing calls for sportswear, but wearing dogwood sprigs in the hair is traditional (now often replaced with chrysanthemums).

丧葬着装 | Funeral Attire

了解丧葬着装禁忌有助于避免文化误解。中国葬礼以白色和黑色为主。亲属穿白色粗麻丧服，宾客穿深色素色衣服。绝对不要穿红色参加葬礼——这是最大的禁忌。

Understanding funeral dress codes helps avoid cultural misunderstandings. Chinese funerals use white and black. Family members wear white rough-hemp mourning clothes; guests wear dark, plain clothing. Never wear red to a funeral — it's the biggest taboo.

小贴士 | Tips: 如果你被邀请参加中式婚礼，随红包（份子钱）是必须的。金额一般200-1000元，用红色信封装好。 If invited to a Chinese wedding, giving a red envelope (cash gift) is expected. Amount is usually ¥200-1,000 in a red envelope.
