The origin of Idioms

One of the origins of married couples is in the south of Zhejiang Province. There are traditional folk customs about "married couples" such as "hair binding and body supporting" and "Silk comforting". The so-called "hair care body" is the original couple to choose the date of marriage, the man to send Geng tie, the woman to return Geng tie. The name, date of birth and time of marriage were written on the sticker. When the woman returned to the Geng post, she attached a bunch of hair and tied it with a red head rope, which was used as a token of her love and commitment to show that her hair was united and a hundred years later. When a man drowns and his body is not found, his wife has to cut off a bunch of hair, tie it to a stone, and throw it into the place where the accident happened, so as to comfort his hair. It is said that the custom of getting married was left by an emperor when he ascended the throne in ancient times. He said that it was the first night when the emperor ascended the throne. He was worried that his beard was too short to fall asleep. She cut off her hair and carefully attached it to the emperor's beard. Overnight, she turned the emperor's short beard into a long one. The next day when the emperor ascended the throne, he stroked his beard and accepted the worship of his ministers. The minister exclaimed that the emperor's beard passed the navel overnight. He was really the "real dragon emperor"! The empress cut her hair and tied the emperor's beard to form a hairy couple. In ancient China, when the bridegroom took the bride home, he held a wedding ceremony to worship the heaven and the earth, worship the hall, and then the couple worshipped each other. Finally, he drank wine, also known as Jiaobei wine. Later, it developed into the ceremony of meeting the temples, that is, husband and wife sit side by side and tie their heads together. The word "married couple" came from this. We often hear the word "jiefa wife". The original meaning of "jiefa" is: "to be a man is 20 years old, and to be a woman is 15 years old. It means to have a hairpin crown at that time." In ancient times, both men and women of Han nationality had to keep long hair. When they reached a certain age, they had to hold a ceremony of "coming of age". A man's coronation ceremony is to make his hair into a bun, which is called "knot hair", and then put on his hat. In Shuowen, the general name of "crown" and "Bian crown" is also used. It's called adult. In "the book of rites · Quli Shang", there are: Men's twenty crown and the word. It means to hold a coronation ceremony and give it words. Guansui means that a man is 20 years old, which means that he has just reached the age of adulthood. It is also called "the year of weak crown". In many areas of our country, underage women are called "wenches", which can be seen in many novels written by the ancients. In addition, it was also called "maid" in the old days, which was the maid of a wealthy family. "Wench" also contains the element of intimacy. Some elders laugh and shout: "you dead wench, you can't even do a little thing well!" In ancient times, the real meaning of a maid was a kind of combing style of women's hair, which can often be seen in today's movies and TV. For example, in the movie a dream of Red Mansions, the hairstyle of the servant girls who serve the host combs their hair into left-right symmetrical buns and tilts them over their heads, just like a forked "Ya", which is found in ancient Cheng zongluo's Yangzhou Zhuzhi CI A new bun with two sideburns, a hundred butterflies and warm cotton. When a woman reaches the age of 15, she will be given a hairpin ceremony, that is, "hairpin Zanzi ceremony", which refers to a woman's adulthood at the age of 15. Hairpin: the original meaning, the ancient hairpin used for coiling hair or pinning a hat, which means that the hair can be coiled at this time, and then the hairpin can be used to hold it. In ancient times, it was called "the year of the hairpin". When men and women reach the age of adulthood, according to the ancient saying, it means that they can get married and start a family. it's very solemn and serious when carrying out the crown ceremony and hairpin ceremony. So there is the word "married", which means the original wife. In ancient times, men began to bundle their hair as children, because it refers to early adulthood. On the eve of marriage, the man left and the woman right in a bun, so called. A new couple in the wedding night: "cross silk knot dragon and Phoenix, carved color knot clouds, an inch of concentric thread, a hundred years of long life flower." The meaning is: two new people sit on the bed, male left female right, each cut off a lock of their own hair, and then the two strands of long hair intertwined with each other, to swear knot hair, heart, love forever, life and death depend on each other, never separate. Through the ages, although there is a beautiful dream of "one inch of Tongxin thread" and "one hundred years of long life flower", there are many ups and downs in the world. It is inevitable that there will be such a thing in life as the saying in the ancient boudoir's complaint Poetry: This is the joy of hair, how can we make a thorough Acacia? Women always wind their love expectations and good wishes carefully into their hair. They have beautiful black hair, and their skillful hairstyles. In a certain sense, it is the expectation and guarantee to win the happiness of love. the word "knot" used in the word "knot" has the most wonderful meaning. Today, there are probably several "Chinese knots" hanging in the living room of every family, and the fiery red "Tongxin knot" can also be seen in the bridal chamber. The meaning of Jiezi is firm, combined and associated. In ancient times, "knot" was connected with "bun", which means always hair. The bun is tied on the top of the hair. Chao Cai, a poetess of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a song of Midnight: "Nong not only cut the maidservant girls, but also split the silk hair. Look for no one, and make a knot. " In ancient times, the bun on the wife's head in the bridal chamber could not be solved by herself. It was recorded in the ancient book Yili tuhunli that "when the master enters the chamber, he takes off his wife's tassel." It means that only the husband can untie the bun, and then embrace each other, love each other, like glue. Later, people called the man and woman who got married for the first time "married couple". in the Han Dynasty, there was a custom to hold funerals at that time. If the hairy wife folded early for some reason, the husband would break the comb they used when they got married and divide it into two parts. There were still strands of her green hair on it. The other half was buried in the coffin to show that she did not forget her hairy wife and commemorate her deep love. In the "new chant of Yutai · ancient poems written for Jiao Zhongqing's wife", it is written: "tie hair with pillow, huangquan is a friend." Although this poem is a tragic story with the background of feudal patriarchal system. At that time, if the lovers who loved each other gave a lock of her own green silk to the man as a token of affection, it would be as if she had given her body to the man as an important keepsake. Sometimes, however, a lock of green silk of a lover is like Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, who said: "white hair is 3000 Zhang, and sorrow is like a long one". Green silk turns into "worry silk". It's just that women in ancient times can't hear this song called "short hair" sung today: I've cut my hair short, cut off my concerns, cut off the branches that are not loved, long and short, short and long, struggling inch by inch
