Abstract
The paper provides a comparison of color changes in female wedding dress in different periods in China. The wedding dress emerged at the presence of Zhou dynasty‘s dress, the main color of it is cyan. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, women wore wedding dress with a large area of cyan. This phenomenon was depicted in combination with handed-down portraits, which gradually proved that traditional women showed ―advocating cyan‖ phenomenon in the choice and inheritance of wedding dress color. However, since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the color image of women‘s marriage dress was changed from ―advocating cyan‖ to ―advocating red‖. The symbolic reason might be that the fundamental thought was closely related to the ―Five Cyclic Virtues‖ theory. This system was a means for the emperor to highlight the national luck and consolidate the Han rites.
