面纱,是一种妇女蒙在脸上的纱巾,与婚礼牛新娘顶在头上用以遮面的“纱笼”(或称“纱罩”、“红锦”,现在俗称“顶头红”)不同。现在伊斯兰教国家的妇女仍有戴面纱的习俗,我国西北地区的回族、东乡族等少数民族妇女,也有戴面纱的习惯,其颜色因地区和年龄不同而各异。关于面纱的来历,一般认为与伊斯兰教关于“女子不可抛头露面”的戒律有关,是出于礼制的需要(也有人认为是出于防沙保洁的需要)。但我国汉族妇女戴面纱的习俗却不多见。 在《聊斋志异》中,曾数次写到汉族妇女戴“障纱”的习俗。障纱,或称“幛纱”“纱障”,或简称“纱”,是古代妇女骑马或骑驴出门远行时用以蒙面的纱巾——实际上就是现在的面纱。然查《汉语大词典》、《辞源》、《中文大辞典》、《中国古代名物大辞典》等大型工具书,却均无“障纱”、“纱障”等词。山曼、叶涛等所著《山东民俗》引《掖县四续志》谓:“妇女纱障,见于《聊斋志异》,而行之者独有掖俗。妇女骑驴戴此。其形似帘,以两叉插鬓上,亦曰眼罩。多以黑纱为之,可以看人而人不睹其貌。礼云:‘妇女出门必拥蔽其面。’是纱障犹有古制。今则多年无用者。”其所谓古制,盖指古代的“面衣”。 The veil, a scarf on the face of a woman, differs from the “sarong” (or “sarong,” “red brocade,” now commonly known as “red head” . Women in Islamic countries still have the custom of wearing a veil. Ethnic women such as the Hui and Dongxiang ethnic groups in the northwestern region of China are also wearing the habit of wearing veils, and their colors vary according to their regions and ages. About the origin of the veil, it is generally considered to be related to the Islamic precepts of “the woman can not be seen” because of the need of ceremonies (some people think it is necessary for the prevention of desertification). However, the customs of Chinese Han women wearing veils are rare. In Strange Stories from a Lover Studio, several occasions were written about the custom of Han women wearing “barrier yarn”. Barrier gauze, or “gauze,” “gauze,” or simply “gauze,” is a veil that masks worn by ancient women on horseback or donkey travel - virtually the veil of the present. However, there are no such words as “barrier yarn” and “gauze barrier” in large-scale reference books such as “Chinese Dictionary”, “Ci Yuan”, “Chinese Dictionary” and “Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Names”. Shanman, Ye Tao and other “Shandong folk” cited “Yexian four sequel,” said: “Women’s yarn barrier, seen in” Strange Stories, “while those who are unique to the line.
