Wedding series: Xing Niang, Xing Liang


The Chinese couple are called Xing Niang (bride) and Xing Liang (groom) which means new bride and groom. 

The Chinese are quite particular about colours and superstition. Hence only the auspicious red colour is used for weddings as it represents the ancient worship of fire which can ward of evil spirits. It also represents happiness and good luck.

The Bride is wearing a cheongsam or qipao with dragon motifs. The dragon on her represents power, strength and good luck in chinese symbolism.  

He is wearing a #samfu which features the shou symbol which represents longevity and is one of the five blessings in Chinese belief.
