What does it mean for ancient women to order cinnabar?

In ancient times, it was a common behavior for women to light cinnabar, especially when dating or meeting. This kind of behavior actually represents women's enthusiasm and love for men. In ancient times, women needed to follow strict etiquette norms, requiring women to be elegant and dignified, but lighting cinnabar could make women express more sincere feelings, and men could understand women's thoughts better.

In ancient times, women used cinnabar in various ways. Usually, a woman will carry a piece of cinnabar in a handkerchief or treasure chest, and if necessary, point it on her palm or lips with a silver needle engraved with her name to represent the change of mood. In addition, women will also point cinnabar in letters or words to express their feelings and attitudes.

Dianzhusha not only represents emotion, but also has cultural significance. In ancient books, cinnabar can represent freedom and belief. Because red is often considered as a happy and auspicious color, lighting cinnabar means abandoning migration and bondage and moving towards freedom and happiness. At the same time, in some folk customs, women can light cinnabar to protect themselves and their families. Therefore, lighting cinnabar is one of the important rituals in ancient women's sexual life and an indispensable part of China culture.
