At the earliest time, the sachet was called smelly. Traditional sachets in China are mostly made of silk, embroidered with various patterns on the outside and filled with spices (traditionally smoked grass and mugwort leaves, plus realgar). Therefore, the sachet is generally regarded as an auspicious thing to ward off evil spirits and is worn on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Qu Yuan once wrote in his Lisao that "the Shanghai River is beautiful, and I think it is beautiful". Among them, Bizhi and Bizhi are all made of herbs, which means: "Take them with you when they are full of herbs", which shows that people have the custom of wearing sachets at that time.
In Qingyang, the sachet belonging to Zhengning is the most famous, and people here are commonly known as "playing tricks". During the Dragon Boat Festival, children running around the street wear all kinds of "tricks", and some of them have garlic bones on their hands. Careful people will also tie bells on colorful ropes, so that children will have crisp jingles when swimming.
This is a traditional folk art and an intangible cultural heritage of our country. In the art of every country, what we can spy out is a long history, culture and human geography.
The sachets in Qingyang are rough and fierce in shape and varied, which contains the farming civilization in Qingyang area. In the remarkable period of ancient farming culture, male farming and female weaving were the rules of social operation. In the period when productivity is relatively backward, women will make some artworks after their daily work to increase the interest of life. So mountains and rivers, plants, insects, fish, birds and animals are their most abundant materials. They painted and embroidered with their own hands, made sachets and handed them down.
Under the eternal inheritance, today's sachets are head-mounted and pendant-shaped, and some sachets are specially used for decoration. With the strong support of the local government, this folk art has also been carried forward. Every year, a sachet festival is held on Dragon Boat Festival, and embroidery experts from all over the world will show her favorite creations. The annual sachet festival attracts people from all over the country to visit. Affected by the epidemic this year, there is no news about the holding of the sachet festival, but there are still ten days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Many folk artists have taken out their own sachets and sold them in the street. At first glance, they are all red. When you look carefully, you will be deeply attracted by these jugglers with different shapes and exquisite workmanship, and you will be impressed by this exquisite work.
Embroidery in Qingyang not only produces various patterns, but also inherits the deep friendship between mother and daughter in Qingyang.
In Guoguo's hometown, mothers will embroider insoles with auspicious patterns and very beautiful pillows for their unmarried daughters. Of course, the embroidered shoes made by mothers are indispensable. On the day when the girl gets married, these insoles, pillows and shoes will follow her daughter as dowry items, and she will be deeply concerned by her mother wherever she goes. I didn't know my parents when I loved them.
Speaking of this, the fruit is deeply touched. In our hometown, girls have to get on the sedan chair, cover their heads before going out, hold a pair of red chopsticks in their hands, and spill their chopsticks back after going out of the boudoir door. At this time, the gongs and drums are loud outside, the suona is pleasant to hear, and everyone around you is smiling, but you will see the eyes of your daughter and mother. The old white-headed mother hid her face and cried bitterly, and her shirt sleeves were torn.
Qingyang sachet is a beautiful miracle; Qingyang embroidery is an unforgettable story.
