1, arm wrapped in gold

"How to punch? Double gold ring on the arm. "

"Double gold rings on the arm" refers to armbands, also called arm-wrapped gold, which is a kind of decoration that ancient women in China wrapped around their arms. Gold and silver bars are wound into spiral circles, and the number of circles varies, usually three to eight, but also as many as twelve or thirteen. The secret of wrapping gold around your arm is that no matter from which angle you look, you can see several rings that are unrelated to each other, just like wearing several bracelets. Although Su Dongpo's poem "Cold Ware" is about a kind of food called prickly heat, in the poem, "Sleeping at night in spring is thicker than wine, and beauty holds gold.

"This sentence is more reminiscent of a woman wearing an arm wrapped in gold, which brings out a little intoxicating charm in a deep sleep, which also shows the effect of ancient women's arm support.

Zhu, a poetess in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in her Farewell:

Zhu and powder are always mixed unintentionally, thin and cold, wrapped in arm gold.

Don't haggard after a big fight, thinking that love hasn't reached this kind of affection.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, when Neo-Confucianism was increasingly imprisoned, Zhu was a woman who dared to break through barriers and enthusiastically pursued personal happiness. This poem expresses her longing for parting from her lover, which makes her thin and haggard day by day, so that her arms are loosened. It's a pity that she didn't meet the person she missed after all, because the person she loved finally chose to escape, so Zhu had to write "To be sealed, send to the unfortunate south building". He died of depression.

Step 2 ring

"Why are you hospitable? About a pair of silver "

The custom of making a promise with a ring has a long history in China. According to Liu in the Southern Dynasties, a man married a woman in a tomb. When she left, she said, "When I see you later, I'll give you a pair of rings and tie a belt to see you out." Meeting can be expected, warning is like meeting people, and the importance of warning is incisively and vividly in the poem. The annotation in the title "All Tang Poems and Li Zhangwu's Poems of Talents" says that Li Zhangwu, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, fell in love with Wang's son-in-law in Huazhou. When leaving, Wang's son-in-law gave Li Zhangwu a white jade ring and a poem:

"Twist the ring, acacia see ring. May you play forever, endlessly. "

Later, when Li Zhangwu went to Iowa again, Wang's son-in-law was so anxious that the ring was just empty. Song Liyun's Taiping Guang Ji says that the souls of Li Zhangwu and Wang's son-in-law will be in Wang's house, which should be people's good wishes for the ending of this love.

In the late Tang dynasty, rings were gradually given to women by men instead of men, similar to the way Chinese and western rings were given today. Dai Fan wrote a story about Wei Gao, a scholar, who met and fell in love with Xiao Yu when he was playing in Jiangxia as a child. Wei Gao gave Xiao Yu a jade ring before returning to China and vowed to marry Xiao Yu within five or seven years. However, seven years later, the hapless Wei Gao never came. Xiao Yu, who is infatuated with love, cried in despair: "Wei Jialang Jun, after seven years, he won't come!" " I starved to death. People sympathized with Xiao Yu's tragedy, so they put the ring given to her by Wei Gao on her middle finger and buried her. Many years later, Wei Gaoshi prospered and was able to give up who I was, but he learned of Xiao Yu's death. He regretted it, so he practiced extensively and repented of his past ingratitude. Later, someone gave Wei Gao a singer with the same name and appearance as Xiao Yu, and there was a ring of meat on his middle finger. Wei Gaozhi knew Xiao Yu was in the afterlife and returned to his side. The two finally realized the combination of two generations. Yes or no? For the happiness of lovers in the world, I have to believe it in vain.

There is another story, that is, Wei Gao's skill of calling back a teenager's soul met Xiao Yu's soul, which made the modern human body realize the guilt of an ancient spoony woman who broke her word to a thin lover. After the meeting, Xiao Yu said to Wei Gao when he was leaving: "My husband is fickle and makes people live and die!" Life and death are separated only because of her husband's fickle commitment to feelings! And complaining is actually said with a smile, but it's just so painful to laugh. Thousands of years later, this passage still makes us deeply moved. The fate of ancient women on which human beings depend is destined to be the only way for Yu Di. Acacia lost in vain, she was still so attached, missing through autumn water. A ring missed her life, and she will wear it in the afterlife without regrets.

Because rings are engaged, unsigned women in ancient times did not wear rings. Ding six niang of Sui Dynasty wrote in Ten Poems: "If you want to be a slim hand, take the ring of Langsuo." It may explain the unspeakable feelings of ancient and even modern women about the ring. This token is the smallest, but the heaviest in a woman's heart. Full of hope, reach out and let the person you love put it on yourself. Then, maybe you will wear it happily for a lifetime, and maybe one day you will cry for it until your heart breaks.

3. Earrings

"Why just? Two pearls in the ear "

The earliest record of China women decorating themselves with earrings can be found in Shan Hai Jing: "A mountain suitable for young people, suitable for women, with small waist and white teeth and cymbals in its ears." In the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Ke said: "It is better to wear pearls with your ears." You can see the fashion of piercing ears since three generations. Earrings are divided into earrings, ear hooks, earrings, earrings and other styles. In the early Qing Dynasty, Li Daiweng called the small and concise earrings "cloves" and the complicated and gorgeous earrings "twining ropes" in his Essays. Life ". He said that a woman's "one hairpin and one ear can accompany her all her life", which shows that earrings have a very important position in ancient aesthetic concepts.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Ji's "Ode to a Daughter" "Return the tears of the pearl, never get married and never encounter hatred." The "pearl" in the movie refers to earrings. Is it also because this poem makes people feel sad to take earrings as tokens? At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Huilian's Zhuzhi Ci in mourning for her late husband must have been written by people who think about things:

Remember to use pearls when buying concubines and comb your hair and thrush.

Lang, where is my concubine now? I'm afraid to see butterflies flying among the flowers.

Step 4: Small bags

"Why knock knock? The sachet is tied behind the elbow. "

Sachets have 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. According to the Book of Rites. Internal rules ":"Children are parents and use them around; ..... to suit my parents and aunt. " In other words, when young people meet their parents and elders, they should wear "tassels", that is, woven sachets, to show their respect. Because sachets are personal items, lovers often give them to each other as gifts to express their love.

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took Yang Guifei and his party to the west in a panic, but the Sixth Army of Maweipo did not send it. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed Yang Guifei's life, leaving her alone to bear the responsibility of triggering a national war. After Yang Guifei was strangled, her body was hastily buried on the spot. After the recovery of Xijing, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent someone to quietly move and bury her body. The eunuch found that only the bones of the imperial concubine were left, and only the sachet worn on her chest was intact when she died. He took it down and called me back. Tang Xuanzong, who is old, saw the sachet and thought of people. At that time, the joy of singing and dancing in Lishan was everywhere, and the deep affection of Iraqis only left this sachet in front of him! He put the sachet in his sleeve and burst into tears. Eighty years later, the poet Zhang Hu lamented this matter and wrote a poem "Too True Sweet Bag":

Princess Jin's little flower sac consumes the old fragrance on her chest.

Who is reunited for the king after a long separation, lifelong resentment is the heart.

No one can untie this small sachet for Xuanzong, and it is not clear whether it is love or hate. Who can untie it except Yuhuan?

The Book of Jin Wu Jiachuan records the story of Jia Chong's youngest daughter Wu Jia falling in love with her father Jia Chong's assistant Han Shou. During the tryst, Wu Jia presented western spices as a gift. Unexpectedly, Han Shou's fragrance was detected by Jia Chong in court. After he guessed the reason, he didn't blame his daughter, but let her marry Han Shou, which made it a legendary story. The fragrance of the Western Regions should be presented by Wu Jia with his own sachet, so as not to damage this precious gift and the affection of his daughter's family. In a Dream of Red Mansions, Sister Lin also made a sachet for Brother Bao, and every stitch and thread condensed her feelings. Once I wrote that Daiyu misunderstood that Baoyu had given the sachet to someone else. In a rage, I cut the other one I was making, but Baoyu wore it. How can she give it away? Youth is gone, and the red rain is gone. I still see Iraqis when I see the fragrant bag, but I'm afraid Baoyu can't bear to see it again.

"Let the soil smell the same as before, but for whom? Scattered into mud and crushed into dust, only the fragrance remains. "

5. bang

"Why comfort separation? Behind the ear. "

Hairpins are flowers or other styling hairpins made of pearls, jade, gold and silver. Two or more long hairpins are used to connect and fix the bun, which is inserted into the temples when in use. "Continuation of Han Shu" says: A noble person helps silkworms wear tortoise shells. According to the records of Huayang Guozhi, there is a big turtle in Fuling Mountain, whose armor is predictable, and its edge can be used as a hairpin, which is famous for its spirit wood. It can be seen that the ancients paid special attention to the hairpin made by tortoise shells. Tang Sangji, a poet of the Five Dynasties, once found an ancient hairpin in a well, and he wrote a poem emotionally:

I used to advocate family, picking flowers and showing off by the well. I also compare myself to picking flowers, feeling sorry for myself.

I finally got a chance to see my face, but it hasn't been a year, but my smile has become beautiful.

Jade feathers remove mud, and gold is as fresh as gold. Where is this man now? It spread in the air today.

Hairpin is not only an ornament, but also a symbol of love. In ancient times, there was a custom of saying goodbye between lovers: women divided their hair clips into two parts, half for each other and the other half for themselves until they met again another day. In Xin Qiji's "Late Spring in Zhu Yingtai", "Baochai leaves, peaches and leaves cross, and the smoke and willows are dark south" is to express this kind of separation. In Nalan Xingde's ci, "Baochai is distracted by each other, so why is it wet?" It is also full of the pain of being separated from what she loves.

Zhu Dunru's "Linjiang Fairy" has been broken since the Phoenix broke. There is little news from the ends of the earth, and I dream of returning to Haibei Liaoning, and my soul is broken. Moon reunion, star reunion, how can people not return? I was still listening to cuckoo crow this spring. See geese every year, 14 times. "Describe the nomads from Beijing bian city, the poet and lover separation pain. Fourteen years of ups and downs are full of eyes, and there is no place to recall the bright moon of the past. This word is particularly painful because of its background of national ruin and death. In the great turmoil of "Where Are You Going?", it is not just a troubled period of being immersed in love.

Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" is one of the poems about parting from women's love in the past dynasties-but when she turned her face and looked down at the earth and tried to see the capital, there was only fog and dust. So she took out the keepsake he gave, and gave him a shell box and a gold hairpin through his messenger. However, one branch of the hairpin and one side of the box were kept, and the gold of the hairpin and the shell of the box were broken. "Our souls belong to each other," she said, "just like this gold and this shell." Somewhere, at some time, on earth or in heaven, we will be together. She sent him a message through his messenger, reminding him that only the hearts of the two of them knew the oath. On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world. We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one, grow on the earth, two branches of a tree ... the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever.

6. bracelets

"How to become generous? Jump around your wrist. "

Bracelets had many names in ancient times.

"Jumping" is one of them. There is a story in Song Ji You's Chronicle of Tang Poetry. One day, Tang Wenzong asked his ministers, "There is a saying' jump' in ancient poetry. Do any of you know what "jumping" is? No one can answer. The literati school told them: "Breaking free is today's wrist." In ancient literary works, it is very common for women to send bracelets to their lovers. In Empresses in the Palace, Liang Taohongjing described the escaped fairy sepals, green flowers, sheep rights in Zeng Zeng, gold and jade. In Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Bai Yuyu wrote about the scholar Wu Shengou going to fairyland to have fun with a fairy in purple. When she left, the fairy gave Wu Sheng her gold brooch as a souvenir.

Now the function of bracelet as a token is getting weaker and weaker, but it is still the most beautiful scenery on girls' wrists. Classicism and modernity are inadvertently and secretly linked. Girls wearing bracelets, do you know that jade bracelets on ancient women's wrists often bear the great trust of vows?

7. Yu Pei

"Why kindness? Meiyu compose Luo Ying "

Jade has a special position in the history of China civilization. The Five Classics Yi Tong says that jade is "moist,

It is similar to wisdom; Sharp and harmless, like benevolence; Restraint without scratching is similar to righteousness; The defects inside must be visible outside, and some are like letters; It hangs like a drop of water. It's like a ceremony. Confucius said, "The beauty of jade is like the virtue of a gentleman." He believes that jade has the virtues of benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, courtesy, joy, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, morality and Taoism. There is a saying in the Book of Songs that "a gentleman is gentle as jade". The ancients endowed Meiyu with so many human qualities that people still call a modest gentleman "gentle as jade".

"Ying Luo" is a ribbon that ancient women tied around their waist when they got married to show that someone belongs, so there is a saying in The Book of Songs that "the knot is 90 meters". It describes the daughter's marriage, and the mother doesn't want to tie a knot with her, which is called "knot" and later became synonymous with ancient marriage. In Wen Renxian's Annotations to Ancient Poems in Qing Dynasty, "beautiful jade adorns tassels" was interpreted as "tying tassels with jade to show gratitude." The jade that ancient women gave to the right person was decorated with tassels, and I knew it very well.

In the 29th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu and Daiyu became angry. The psychic Baoyu was dragged down and killed, which made Daiyu cry. Aroma advised Baoyu, "Don't look at anything else. Look at the tassel on this jade, don't quarrel with Miss Tonglin. " A word made Daiyu sad again. She grabbed the jade without illness and cut her ear knotted for Baoyu into several pieces with scissors. There is a saying in the book, "It's not that enemies don't get together ... living in two places and feeling wholeheartedly." Why do two spoony people torture each other like this? In fact, sister Lin's affection is all on this tracts. How could Brother Bao not know?

8. concentric knot

"Why knot center? Double needle plain silk "

Fan Qin mentioned "knot" many times in his poems.

"Jie" is a Chinese character endowed with too many beautiful colors. Since ancient times, it has been permeated in people's lives and emotions. Empathy has always been a token of ancient people's feelings, as the saying goes, "it is difficult to understand with the love of Sauvignon Blanc." There is a story in The Book of Songs: I fell in love with my neighbor's wife, Jiang. A hundred crystal needles were given to Jiang as a token. Jiang opened the box, took out the knot, put on double needles and knitted a concentric knot as a gift. Weave the ribbon into a serial palindrome knot and give it to each other, which also contains endless thoughts and thousands of feelings Compared with other tokens, the knot of empathy has an implicit depth, because it incorporates the unique ideas of lovers.

Affectionate ancients left many poems related to knots: Su Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute in Qiantang in the Six Dynasties, wrote "Song of Su Xiaoxiao": "My concubine rides a tanker and Lang rides a green horse. Where can we get together? " Xiling pine and cypress. "One heart and one mind" in the book; Meng Jiao, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Making Love": "The heart is recovered and the feelings are deep. Once I wanted to leave, I tied a thousand knots. I will stick to my ambition alone, and I will return to my will early. You don't know how to tie clothes until you know it. You can also sit down and tie the knot. "The knot in the movie shows the determination to love and not change. Tang Sun Chang's wife's poem "Answering the Outside" in Zuo Zhuan wrote that she tied a knot for her husband who was guarding the border, and then poured out the pain of lovesickness with the knot;

Last year, recruiters stood by the water, and at night, the words were covered with paper. A knife and candle cut the red yee, and the knot answers a thousand miles with one heart.

Don't forget to send a side book, but I want unity in my heart. If you are United, you can't get rid of your heart. Look at the frequency of words, and you will be sad.

Form a skirt and a tear seal, and the book is only in the sleeve. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.

Particularly impressive is the lovesickness order written by Lin Bu in the Northern Song Dynasty:

Wu, the moon is green, and the green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite, fighting for patience and leaving feelings.

You are full of tears, I am full of tears, my heart is not tied, and the river is flat.

Lin Bu never married, lived in seclusion in the lonely mountain of West Lake, planted plums and raised cranes, and was called the wife of Meihe. So where does this feeling of reluctance come from? I can't help but wonder if Lin Bu's life, perhaps the life of two people, is due to the failure of empathy.

9. But

"Why together? Scratched his head with a thin gold painting. "

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. Empress Jiang of Zhou Xuanwang has a good story: She once indulged in pleasure and didn't care about national politics. In order to persuade her husband to be diligent, Empress Jiang, who knows the great sense of righteousness, returned her hair pins and earrings and knelt in Yongxiang to show her guilt. Knowing what the Queen thought, Zhou Xuanwang felt ashamed, so he began to work hard to create a prosperous situation for the Zhou royal family.

In advocating songs. Thinking ",a woman prepared a tortoise shell for a distant lover. She decorated the hairpin carefully, without the double beads and jade ornaments, she was even more infatuated with it. Unexpectedly, "Wen Jun has his heart", so she "mixed and burned" the hairpin when the wind blew. From now on, don't fall in love with you. "Why do you do that? Still the kind of affection that is hard to give up from the heart.

10.skirt

"Why do you want to answer huan xin? Su Wan has three skirts. "

In ancient times, silk was called Su-Wan, and "Su-Wan Three Skirts" refers to skirts made of silk. Han Liuxi's interpretation of names and clothes: skirts, groups and connecting groups. In ancient times, the width of cloth and silk was narrow, and a skirt was generally made up of several pieces of cloth and silk, hence the name "skirt". There have been all kinds of skirts in history, such as: playing ink skirt, phoenix tail skirt, yuet skirt, pearl skirt, Yujin skirt, pomegranate skirt and so on. "New Tang Book Five Elements" records: "Princess Anle ordered the party to wear a hundred birds' hair skirt, with the same color on the face and the same color on the side; Japan and China are the same color, and the shadows are the same color. You can see the shapes of hundreds of birds. "This kind of skirt woven with hundreds of bird feathers was created by Princess Anle, the daughter of Tang Zhongzong, and it was widely popular among aristocratic women at that time, which led to the killing of rare birds on the mountain and was later banned by the court. Luxury ladies are a minority after all, and ordinary women in ancient times wore simple Chai Jing and cloth skirts. Therefore, "hairpin skirt" is also synonymous with ordinary women in China for thousands of years.

The most touching thing about skirts is Wu Zetian's "Ruyi Qu":

Zhu Jian thinks in succession, looking haggard and fragmented.

If you don't believe me, you will cry. Open the box and take the pomegranate skirt.

Who did she write this poem for? In the world of mortals, the vast sea of people. Even if the women in the world are as heroic as Wu Zetian, they still can't escape the long thoughts every night when they see the osmanthus trees in the moonlight. Who can escape?

Love poems before Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties can be seen everywhere with undisguised sincerity and fierceness, as well as Love Poems by Fan Qin, a poet of the Three Kingdoms. In the poem, a couple witnessed their love with various keepsakes, and each keepsake was given a firm belief in love. Some of the tokens mentioned in the poem have been far away from our life today, and some are still passed on between people who love each other until now.

Women versus men.

First, underwear. In ancient times, women always wore Chinese corsets or tube tops embroidered with auspicious patterns. If girls make a promise with this thing, young men will always wear it, and the meaning is self-evident. If you have money, you can naturally send high-end underwear, such as Jiang Xingge's pearl shirt, which is a very precious engagement underwear.

Second, hair. The ancients said that the body has skin, which is taught by parents and cannot be easily destroyed. But once you meet a lover, you can't help being a mother. No matter what the rules are, you pick up a pair of scissors and give Pan An a bunch of hair. It is conceivable that this bundle of hair will arouse many feelings!

Third, spices. Long Xianxiang is the first choice, and other spices with unique fragrance can also be regarded as a good choice. Imagine, once your lover exudes a unique fragrance, isn't it a hint to other women that this person already belongs? This is the same as the effect of animals defecating or occupying territory by smell. The story of Han Shou stealing incense was spread by a girl who sent him to Long Xianxiang.

Four, half things. Open pairs of objects or pairs of objects, each holding half, to show a Covenant. Its function is roughly equivalent to the current contract in duplicate. Even if things change in the future, as long as the tokens on both sides are right, the frontier can be continued. In ancient times, some girls took the rouge box apart and gave it to their lover with a lid, while others took the mirror apart and gave it to their lover with half. If the little girl wants to learn reference now, I suggest taking apart the scissors to make everyone average, or buying a scale to feed her lover so that he can make up his mind to love you.
