The ancients kissed, but most gentlemen did not kiss their wives, including * * *.
A gentleman only kisses his concubine, while a wife is respectful, so she doesn't kiss.
The ancient people nicknamed the kiss "Be good", which was what they said when they entered the bridal chamber when they took a concubine.
Sometimes, on the night of concubinage, a gentleman stands at the door of the bridal chamber and refuses to enter (in front of his wife). The wife pushes him in, whispers "Be good" and then closes the door and leaves.
In ancient times, all men and women were forbidden to touch each other's skin except husband and wife and concubines. As the saying goes, "Men and women don't kiss each other", even if guests visit, they just say a hail.
In the 193s, men and women in China imitated Western-style "kissing" with movies and foreign cultures, and only in modern times did they have the characteristics of China.
Kissing was something that could not be spread abroad in ancient times, but the so-called eating color and sex were also.
The ancients, especially those in the pre-Qin period, were far more open than you and I imagined.
The ancients were probably secretive about kissing.
So there is no record of kissing in ancient books.
in other words, there is no trace.
Look at the ancient descriptions of "lips", which are basically limited to colors and shapes. And extremely boring.
I'm afraid the most delicious thing is "crimson lips".
The rest are just "red lips and white teeth", which, in the eyes of people nowadays, may only be worthy of one word, that is, "Dizzy ...!"
At the same time, articles used to beautify lips have mushroomed, making the newly published dictionaries look embarrassed.
Look up the latest edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary, and there is only one lipstick in it, which is not satisfactory.
I don't know that even boys now wear lip oil and draw lip lines ...
