In ancient times, the thing that entrusted love was to bid farewell to the flute quietly, and silence was Cambridge tonight. If men and women have a good impression on each other, they will give each other gifts to express each other's meaning, that is, tokens of love. Then next, I sorted out the ancient things that entrusted love. Let's have a look!
Ancient things with love 1 ancient things with love.
1, hairpin
It is a universal symbol of ancient women's love. In "Advocating Songs and Thinking", it is written that a woman carefully made a hair clasp for a distant lover. After hearing that her lover had another love, she burned the hair clasp and "exploded" it to express her determination not to be a mistress. Grasping the head is another name for hairpin. According to Xijing Miscellanies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved Li Furen, and once took off Li Furen's hairpin and scratched his head, hence the name "scratching his head". In ancient times, it was stipulated that criminals were not allowed to wear hairpins, and even if the empresses were wrong, they should return them, because hairpins also symbolized dignity.
2. Yu Pei
"The beauty of jade is like the virtue of a gentleman." Jade is the symbol of the ancient gentleman in China, showing restraint and courtesy, neither impatient nor alienated. Jade has a special position in the history of China civilization. The ancients endowed Meiyu with so many human qualities that people still call a modest gentleman "gentle as jade". "Ying Luo" is a colorful ribbon tied around the waist when an ancient woman got married, indicating that someone belongs to her. When her daughter got married, her mother reluctantly tied Luo Ying to her, calling it a knot. A woman's heart is clear, because she is the one who loves her. It is also a common token in ancient times, indicating that gold and jade are priceless and that the other party is priceless to the other party.
3. sachet
The sachet is wrapped with silk thread, and a variety of fragrant Chinese herbal medicines are packed in bags. A sachet is something you carry with you, and couples often give it to each other. Sachet has a long history. In ancient times, it was also called sachet, fragrant tassel, sachet, fragrant ball, Pei Wei and purse. The history of ancient people wearing sachets can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. In addition, wearing sachets has many benefits. Some lovers will put their hair in a sachet to pin their lovesickness. The ancients were very important people who looked at hair.
4. Wooden comb
Tie the knot, comb it as a gift, and book it privately for life. I want to grow old with you. Sending a comb means that I will be obsessed with old age all my life. As the saying goes, "comb your hair to the end, comb your hair twice, and comb your children and grandchildren three times", so many places have the custom of sending combs on Tanabata.
5.Ropa (handkerchief)
In ancient times, Roppa was used to convey feelings. There were many scenes in which a woman faced her sweetheart, blushed and frowned, and her hands were at a loss, so she sent a handkerchief to her hand. The veil is something that ancient women carried with them, so it is also common to give it as a gift from token of love.
6, concentric knot
"Jie" is a Chinese character endowed with too many beautiful colors. Since ancient times, it has been permeated in people's lives and emotions. Concentric knot has always been a token of ancient people's expression of emotion. Compared with other tokens, the knot of empathy has a hidden depth, because it is integrated into the ingenuity of lovers. The meaning and expression will be intentional and auspicious, and the knot will connect us with the thoughts of our ancestors and make us feel the same with the ancients. Life is not old, and feelings are hard to break. The heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot inside.
7. concentric lock
I remember a legend: a kind girl fell in love with a loyal young man, but his father didn't want his daughter to live a poor life, so he betrothed her to the official's son. On the wedding day, the young man bravely snatched the bride and fled to the mountains. Before the interception, after the pursuer, they jumped down the mountain arm in arm, only to find two stone locks locked together when looking for them. Later, with such a concentric lock, it means that two people are soul mates and will be together forever.
8. bracelets
In Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Bai Yuyu and Wu Shengou, a scholar, enter the fairyland and spend a good time with the purple fairy. When she left, the fairy gave him her bracelet as a souvenir. There were many names for bracelets in ancient times, and "Paopao" was one of them. In ancient times, bracelets were also called jumping guns. In ancient literary works, it is very common for women to send bracelets to their lovers.
9.earrings
From a long time ago, women began to dress themselves with all kinds of earrings. "One pin and one ear can accompany him all his life", which shows that earrings have a very important position in the aesthetic concept of the ancients. The earliest record is found in Shan Hai Jing, in which a young mountain is suitable for a woman. Its deity has small waist and white teeth, and cymbals are tied in his ears. In the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Ke said, "Being alert and clear-sighted, the perfect combination of pearls and pearls will help to cover up the ancient times. The fashion of piercing ears can be seen from the Three Kingdoms period. In ancient times, every woman had to have her ears pierced, which was a symbol of being a woman.
10, ring the bell
The custom of engagement by ring has a long history in China. Rings are engaged, so women who didn't sign in ancient times didn't wear rings. The ancients were reserved. In the face of the beloved girl, love is hard to open, they need something to express their hearts, and then they have a romantic marriage. Here we go. Whether in ancient times or in today's society, rings are one of the most exquisite things.
What did ancient women use to pin their feelings?
There are many things that ancient women used to express their feelings. For example, the most commonly used is "Sipa". In Feng Menglong's "Folk Songs", it is written that one party does not write love stories or poems, and the other party always knows. I know I have it upside down. Look horizontally and vertically (thinking). Who knows this worry? In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is also a chapter that leaves acacia. Then there is "Xin", also called Hongyan in the old society. The love of beauty has existed since ancient times: there is no evidence in the book, and you don't say acacia. What's more, the remains are staggering, and the size is still thin. Acacia blindly, like the old days. Best of all: hair. Words: Parents whose bodies are affected by skin and flesh, in ancient times, if a woman dared to cut off a lock of hair for a man, it was basically a private life, which was called getting married.
Of course, there are also many things that can convey feelings: for example, small ornaments that women use all day, such as small bronze mirrors, rouge boxes, sachets and so on.
