Where did my waist-length hair come from?

There is a legend about "Shili Hongzhuang". It is said that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne, was pursued by Jin soldiers and fled to a lake in the Ningshao Plain. There was no way out and there were pursuers. Fortunately, he met a Huansha village girl who hid him in the water. Cover yourself with white gauze to escape pursuit.

Later, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty sent an edict to search for village girls to "save the chariot" but failed. In desperation, he issued an edict to grant women from the Ningshao Plain the special treatment of half a Luan chariot and half a phoenix when they get married, that is, You ride on a four-carriage sedan, which can be carved with luan and phoenix. It is difficult to verify whether the legend is true or not, but the bride’s right to ride in a sedan chair and get married during the parade was retained, and it gradually evolved into the "Ten Miles of Red Dress".

The Internet hot phrase "Wait until my hair reaches my waist" that appeared in September 2013 came from "Ten Miles of Red Makeup Daughter's Dream" created by He Xiaodao. The full text is: "When my hair reaches my waist, it would be a good idea for a young man to marry me. If my black hair is straight, I would be happy to spread red makeup for ten miles. But I am afraid that my hair will reach my waist, and the boy will fall in love with others. When your green hair is straight, I will smile at you. She smiles.

There is a Shili Hongzhuang Museum in Ninghai, Ningbo, Zhejiang. It is the largest and most comprehensive museum about Shili Hongzhuang in eastern Zhejiang. He Xiaodao is the curator of that museum. He does research and protection in this area. , has been collected for decades.

Allusions to my waist-length hair:

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the Jin army launched a massive attack. Invading Shaanxi and approaching Jingyuan, the situation in Jianghuai was extremely tense. He was ordered by the Song generals to lead his troops to attack, but due to the slow deployment of the Allied troops, he was defeated from both sides and was defeated. He had no choice but to retreat to the south of Fuping. Under the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, he fled to the edge of the river. There was no way out. The general looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am destined to die." ”

At this time, a village girl happened to be passing by and hid him in the river. Fortunately, he survived. After Jin Bing chased him, the girl took him home to recover from his injuries. She took good care of him every day and fed him with water. The medicine lasted until more than three months, and the two of them got along day and night, and they fell in love with each other, so they made a private engagement for life. When the general's injury got better, he left a message: "When I regain the country, I will marry you and return to the court." "The girl bid farewell to the general with tears in her eyes.

Time flies, and it has been more than a year. The girl missed the general, so she wrote a letter and handed it to Xinyi: How about waiting for the general to return when my hair reaches my waist? This gentleman's mind is carefree. Unexpectedly, the sky is suddenly broken, the snow is white, the cold sword is silently listening to the thunder, and the long spear is alone in the empty trench. Don't laugh.
