Why are girls in ancient times called Huanghua girls?

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, we often hear the five words of the yellow flower girl, which are specifically used to describe unmarried girls. When we watch TV series about family or family costumes, we often hear the five words "Huanghua Girl". So why did girls call them yellow flower girls in ancient times?

Does it have any special meaning? I'll just focus on it.

First of all, I want to say that it's**, its**There are two main theories, one is the yellow flower girl** in Nanjing. Then his story is mainly about the daughter of Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty, that is, the story of Princess Shouyang, that is, when this princess felt a little tired when she was playing with the palace maid, she lay down under the eaves to rest, and it was the season when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, that is, there was just a gust of wind blowing, blowing down the plum blossoms on the tree, which happened to fall on the princess's forehead.

Then the princess wiped it lightly with her hand, but there were still traces of plum blossoms. Under the background of this trace, the bone is more delicate and charming. The queen liked it very much when she saw it, so she let the princess keep it.

Then later the girls who love beauty will learn to pick a few plum blossoms from Princess Shouyang and stick them on their foreheads, and soon this kind of makeup was called plum blossom makeup, and later spread to the people, because plum blossoms are not available all year round, so they came up with a method, that is, to use pollen to make plum blossoms, that is, at the beginning of the more popular yellow, and then most of them used yellow to get on the forehead, and most of them were not out of the cabinet of girls, so they used yellow flowers to call unmarried girls.

The second ** is the dress of ancient girls. Because we all know that in ancient times, unmarried women like to stick yellow flowers on their faces when they dress up, which is also described in this "Mulan Poem", and then they are habitually made into yellow powder, and after a long time, the two words cucumber and the word girl are connected together to form the word yellow flower girl, and then this name has gradually spread among the people, and it has become an adjective for unmarried girls.

Yellow flower refers to chrysanthemum, this kind of flower is often the base is a flower with discipline, that is, a person with discipline, plus the word girl, it is described that the woman is not married and still maintains chastity.

Because ancient women like to decorate themselves with yellow flowers, there is a sentence in the Mulan poem that decals yellow on the mirror, and the ancient women's room is called the boudoir, so they call it the girl, so it gradually evolved into the yellow flower girl.

In ancient times, unmarried girls used yellow flowers as a metaphor, because girls like yellow flowers, and the meaning of yellow flowers is also very good for girls, so in ancient times, they borrowed this ancient girl to call "yellow flower girl".

Because in ancient times, there were yellow flowers pasted on the mirror, and in ancient times, yellow flowers generally referred to chrysanthemums, symbolizing purity, indicating that the chastity of unmarried girls was still there.

In the past, it seemed that in ancient times, yellow flowers would be used to describe unmarried girls, such as the "mirror applique yellow" in the Mulan poem we have learned, describing the meaning of the woman in the boudoir to dress up, and this is how the yellow flower girl came.

When the window is cloudy, the mirror appliqué yellow" This is a very classic description of Mulan after returning from the army. Li Qingzhao also used this metaphor to "people are thinner than yellow flowers". In ancient times, the yellow flower seemed to be a symbol of girls.

A yellow flower girl is a girl who is not yet married. As history changed, maidens who did not lose their virginity were called yellow flower girls, while unmarried and married girls who lost their virginity were excluded from this title. Finally, this historical evolution is inseparable from the concept of chastity under feudal etiquette.

Chastity means that a woman no longer marries or loses her virginity. In fact, there is a story about the origin of the term "Yellow Flower Girl".

Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty in the Liu Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties had a daughter named Princess Shouyang, who was very beautiful and moving. Every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Princess Shouyang and the palace maids frolic in the palace. After playing for a long time, Princess Shouyang felt that Yin was not a little tired, so she lay down under the eaves of the Hanzhang Palace to rest.

At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing, snowflakes fell down, a few petals fell on the forehead of Princess Shouyang, after the sweat stains on the princess's forehead left a faint floral pattern traces, Princess Shouyang thought about it and then wiped it clean, the plum blossom pattern printed on the princess's forehead not only did not affect her beauty, but made her more delicate and moving.

The matter reached the ears of the queen, and the queen saw it and liked it very much, but she also asked Princess Shouyang not to wipe it off, so she stayed. Since then, Princess Shouyang, who loves beauty, often picks a few plum blossoms and sticks them on her forehead to make herself look more beautiful. Princess Shouyang's makeup is called "plum blossom makeup".

The women who love beauty in the palace saw it and followed suit, and the "plum blossom makeup" makeup was spread out in the palace. Later, "plum blossom makeup" slowly spread to the people, and was also imitated by the majority of women, especially those official families and kabuki girls. Because plum blossoms are seasonal and only bloom in winter and cannot be preserved, some people find ways to collect other yellow pollen into powder and use it as cosmetics.

One type of powder is called "flower yellow" or "frontal flower".

In ancient times, "yellow flower" referred to the chrysanthemum, which was often used to describe the noble character of a Fengpina person, because it could withstand the cold. As a result, the term "flower yellow" was turned upside down, and the term "yellow flower girl" was created due to the use of "flower and yellow" or "forehead flower" ornaments by unmarried women. The meaning of "yellow flower girl" has two aspects, one is that the woman is unmarried; The second is that women have a good character, pure and noble.

The term gradually spread among the people, and over time, "yellow flower girl" became synonymous with unmarried girls. Therefore, although "yellow flower girl" is a noun to praise women, its nature has changed after the rendering and use of feudal rulers, and this term is more used by feudal rulers to restrain women with a concept of chastity.

People think that girls are pure, so they are called yellow flower girls, yellow flowers refer to chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums are very clean.

Generally, if you use such words to call a girl, it means that the girl is not married, so she will be called Huanghua girl.

Because girls are generally more beautiful, very simple, like children talk about chaos and innocent and bright, unmarried girls will generally draw a variety of flowers on their faces when they dress up, and the color used is yellow.

The daughter of Emperor Wu of Song was very beautiful, and by chance, a plum blossom fell on her forehead, which later caused women in the market to follow suit. Missing laughter produces such a title as Stove Search Hidden Xiang.

This is because in ancient times, the yellow flower represented the jujube chrysanthemum, and the chrysanthemum was used to represent the noble character of the person, so the female Yancao child who did not lose her virginity was called the yellow flower girl. It embodies the ancient feudal thinking.

Because the "yellow flower girl" refers to an unmarried girl between the ages of 16 and 26. The origin of the "Yellow Flower Girl" is derived from the customary custom of appliqué yellow on the head of ancient girls.

Flower yellow (i.e., "plum blossom makeup") is yellow, and the use of this makeup is not out of the cabinet of the girl, the girl has to change the decoration after marriage, another dress, so the ancient folk proverb: "today the white-faced yellow flower sister, tomorrow the red face and green sideburns wife", plus the "yellow flower" in ancient times and refers to the chrysanthemum, and the chrysanthemum has the characteristics of proud frost and cold-resistant, often used by people to metaphor the noble character of the person.

Later, people turned the word "Huahuang" upside down and used it in front of the word "girl" to form the word "Huanghua girl", which on the one hand means that the girl is not married, and on the other hand, it also means that the girl has a pure heart and chaste character. Later, this usage gradually spread among the people, and over time, "Huanghua Da Boudoir talks about the first daughter" has become synonymous with unmarried girls.
