Why doesn t anyone bring sachets anymore?

In ancient times, in order to prevent mosquito bites, people wrapped Chinese herbs in sachets and put them around them to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes, and then slowly because of the different colors of the sewn sachets, they gradually became the necessary decorations for people to go out, and also because of the different satin of making sachets, the sachets were divided into grades, there were high and low, sometimes the sachets represent a person's social status, people will be accessories on the waist to show that they are superior, but the sachet has developed so far, Slowly, it has become a gadget that everyone can wear, and finally evolved into a gadget with anecdotal effects.

In today's era, it is rare to see such a thing as a sachet, the first is because the sachet can not show its social status now, after removing this function, the sachet can only repel mosquitoes, and today's mosquito repellent means are countless, and the sachet has been eliminated by the times. Second, the sachet can be worn on the waist in the previous clothing, the clothing style of today's society has already changed, the sachet is no longer suitable for free shuttle between modern clothing, just imagine, a shorts T-shirt with a delicate sachet is what it feels like, the first feeling is definitely not matched, and even feels a little strange, this collocation does not conform to the aesthetics of modern people.

The sachet also served as a wonderful use of perfume in ancient times, because the fragrance of the herbs in the sachet can make the wearer have that kind of smell, some people for the dense fragrance, even the sachet has no mosquito repellent effect, only the function of spreading the fragrance, so today's society has invented a more convenient perfume, the function of perfume and sachet is almost exactly the same, but perfume is easier for people to accept, because there is no need to carry, and even the whole body can make the taste more balanced, In the eyes of modern people, perfume can completely replace the existence of sachets, so you can see a lot of perfumes of various brands sold in famous stores, but you can't see anyone who will sell sachets! Because the market value of sachets has long since disappeared completely, only some people who still have the customs of their hometown will use sachets.

As mentioned earlier, one of the effects of the sachet is that the fragrance has been replaced by perfume, and the only remaining function of the sachet is to repel mosquitoes, and there are too many inventions enough to make people forget the sachet This kind of thing, such as smelling incense, smelling incense when people sleep, people sleep with peace of mind but don't have to worry about mosquitoes disturbing, and what mosquito repellent toilet water, too much, a while ago I also saw my sister use a product called mosquito repellent, although I don't know if it is useful, but which product has a fragrant smell on the surface, It may also be a kind of smell repellent mosquito. The reason why people don't use sachets now is just because the effect it achieves has long been replaced by modern products, and it is natural that it will be eliminated by history.

In ancient times, the sachet was basically embroidered by the woman herself, and a cloth bag of Chinese herbs that exudes fragrance or can repel insects is placed inside.

At the same time, the sachet was also a gift for women and men to express their care and love in ancient times.

As a traditional decorative item, some people will wear it on specific festivals in modern times, such as someone will wear a sachet filled with wormwood during the Dragon Boat Festival, but in daily life, it is difficult for us to see someone wearing it. I think it's probably due to a couple of reasons.

1. The style of the sachet does not match modern clothing.

The traditional embroidery and tassels on the sachet are incompatible with the style of our modern simple clothing, and even if there is a modern style sachet, we are not convenient to carry due to the reduction of the costume compared to the ancient times, women can put it in the bag, but most men do not have the habit of carrying the bag, so the wearing of the sachet is not welcome.

2. Influenced by Western perfume culture.

In recent years, the introduction of various Western film and television works has brought changes to our living habits to a certain extent, and the perfumes that Westerners love to use have also been sought after by many young people. And compared with sachets, perfume is more convenient to use, more fashionable in shape and taste, famous brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Burberry and other brands are seizing the preferences of young people to make perfumes that meet their tastes, and the brand effect makes perfume more popular.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine is in decline.

The sachet is filled with good Chinese herbs that can emit aroma or have an insect repellent effect, but now our traditional Chinese medicine is under the impact of Western medicine, and people's understanding of Chinese herbal medicine is limited to the few that often appear in film and television dramas, and there is no good sachet formula on the market, so people do not know what to put in the sachet, and naturally there is no enthusiasm for wearing sachets.

All in all, the use of sachets is restricted by the needs of actual life and people's concepts, and modern people basically do not wear sachets. However, as a kind of culture of our sachet, we have the responsibility to inherit and carry forward it, design modern sachets that meet people's living habits, publicize the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and help the promotion and popularization of the newspaper.

In ancient times, the sachet can be said to be everyone's standard, and women will also embroider sachets for their loved ones to express their love, and the sachet can be said to be basically extinct in modern people's lives, I think it is because the sachet has its historical limitations.

1. It is inconvenient to carry, the ancient people were more cumbersome to dress, with three layers inside and three layers outside, the sachet can be placed in the pocket without being too bulging, or tied with a rope around the waist. Nowadays, people advocate simple and fashionable dressing, and many clothes are not suitable for wearing sachets, especially summer clothes, and sachets are completely a burden on the body.

2. The fragrance of the sachet is kept for a short time, and the sachet was sewn from some fragrant plants in the sachet at the beginning in ancient times, and then there were spices, and even if it was a spice, it would not be fragrant for a long time, and the smell might not smell so good. In modern times, there is perfume, which has completely replaced spices, not only has a variety of different fragrances, people can choose their own perfumes according to their preferences and temperament, and the fragrance of good perfume sprayed on the body is relatively long-lasting. As long as you spray a small amount of perfume at a time, a bottle of perfume can last for a long time, and you need to change it frequently if you use a sachet.

With the development of society, many things are constantly being updated, and some backward things will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history, for example, the modern Big Brother has been replaced by modern mobile phones that are easy to carry and more powerful. The same is true of sachets, which have played its role in the past, and will inevitably be replaced after the more convenient perfumes are available, which is the continuous progress of history and the continuous development of the economy. Perhaps in the near future, something new will replace perfumery.

The sachet is also called the smelly, the sachet, the sachet, the incense, the wear, and the people today call the purse, the goods, and the sloppy. It is a kind of folk embroidery handicraft created by working women in ancient China.

It is the product of ancient Chinese farming culture marked by male ploughing and female weaving, and is the remnant and regeneration of traditional Chinese culture that has not been lost for thousands of years.

The sachet was the earliest to say that it was smelly, and Qu Yuan's "Lisao" had "Hujiang Fence and Bi Zhixi, Su Qiulan thought it was admired", and the spices at that time were Pi Zhi and Qiu Lan. In the Ming Dynasty, it was still called the smelly smell. Traditional Chinese sachets are mostly made of silk cloth and contain spices such as realgar, smoked herbs, and mugwort leaves.

It is said that the sachet can ward off evil spirits, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be accompanied by hanging sachets.

In 2008, it was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects. [1]

The sachet is the bud. A small purse containing money.
