What is the "Shou Gong Sha" on the arm of a young girl in ancient China? Please explain in detail thank you!

Gongong sand has nothing to do with chastity.

Dotting a bright red mole on a young girl's white lotus-root-like arm to verify a woman's chastity was common in ancient times, and was called "Shougongsha" (守宮砂). Unconscientious people, thought "guarding the palace" is to guard the sacred side of the wonderful place. In fact, "Shougong" is a kind of lucid scorpion, body slightly flat, ridge color gray, corn-like protrusions, white and yellow ventral surface, large mouth, tongue fat, four feet each with five toes, toes within the folds, good adsorption of other things, can parade in the straight up the wall, is common "gecko"! "......

Ancient legend, with a type of tile jar gecko raised up, feed it every day dansha, probably ate to seven pounds of dansha when it mashed, used to point in the woman's limbs, crimson a little, as long as there is no sexual relations on the lifelong indestructible, a sex life immediately disappear without a trace. But can only be used in the unmarried women, married women is absolutely not effective, this approach is in the Song Dynasty with the rise of science and get popularized. In the Song Dynasty due to just use, inexperience, made a lot of jokes, made a lot of right and wrong, which is famous for a wrongful death appeared in Sichuan.

Things have to start from the Song dynasty, after the extermination of Shu, Wang Quanbin rate of troops into Sichuan, Song dynasty, Tai Zu earnestly warned: "camp to, do not have to burn the huts, expulsion of the officials and people, the development of Qiu graves, cutting down the mulberry tops." However, the Song army expedition to Shu arrogance and lawlessness, killing tens of thousands of innocent people. The people's sentiment was so fierce that civil unrest arose repeatedly. The Song regime punished the people concerned severely on the one hand, and sent King Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of Emperor Taizu, into Shu to comfort the people on the other hand, promising to reduce the taxes on the one hand, and to promote talents to serve as an official on the other hand. The so-called promotion of talents, since the nature of the appeasement, naturally, the wealth and power of the people or a dignified person is the main focus, as for the real talent is placed in a secondary position.

Sichuan Wanxian big rich LinMi field even road, mules and horses, naturally also in the ranks of the promotion, and so packing to Bianjing to meet the emperor, accept the interview of Song Taizu, waiting for the appointment. Lin Mi in addition to his wife, there are five concubines, the youngest concubine called He Fangzi, only eighteen years old, was originally the daughter of the Lantai order history He Xuan after the Shu regime, the Song dynasty destroyed the Shu, He Xuan is not willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty, was killed by the Song army, the poor official Miss He Fangzi was reduced to the fifth concubine of the landlord of the Wanxian County, Lin Mi. Lin Mi is about to leave for Bianjing, all the things at home have been taken care of, but the only thing that can't be assured of is the young and beautiful concubine, so he reveals his heart to his good friend, the Qingfeng Guan outside the city, in the Qingfeng Guan on the Bianzhen. For the real man on the b is a small matter, he soon bought from the hands of the jianghu magician some guardian sand, so that the use of the Lin Mi explained to a number of Lin Mi, Lin Mi as a treasure, after returning home, one by one personally point in the arms of the concubines.

He Fangzi is a golden girl, both beautiful, books and more, in her life blueprint for their own is the hope to find a gentleman, than the wings, and ultimately can not imagine but married to a dozens of years of countryside, but also with a group of mediocre fans every day to compete in favor of the fight, she did not intend to be in this kind of boring fight, but because she is young, she is beautiful, she knows the books and manners, temperament, making LinMi stick to her every day, and cold fall those women, so those women formed a united front, to her blockade surrounded, everywhere with her difficult.

He Fangzi married Lin Mi is not as good as everything, every day harboring fire. He Fangzi's turn to point palace sand, she reluctantly rejected this almost humiliating practice. She believes that from the beginning to the end, chastity and solid festival is a woman should abide by the nature, why must have any form of constraint, if forced to chastity is really no meaning. Despite He Fangzi's strong words, it is just a case of "showman meets soldier", and there is no way to explain it. Lin Mi's earthy head couldn't listen to her, and those housewife and long-winded type of concubines all looked at He Fangzi with skepticism and gloating at the corners of their mouths.

They were all in a state of shock, and they were all in a state of shock, and they were all in a state of shock, and they were all in a state of shock.

Since Lin Mi left home, the women have carefully protected the red bean-sized palace sand mole on their arms, not daring to wash. Didn't dare to rub it. He Fangzi hated it, as if it was a stain painted on her body, she did not care, as usual, bathing and washing, soon, the Palace Sand even disappeared without a trace. This time, those vulgar women finally found an excuse to attack, sarcastic her, ridicule her, and even openly scolded her for stealing and raising a man, and even more tirelessly, night after night, hiding under the window of the He Fangzi eavesdropping, ready to catch the adulteress and adulterer, ready to see how this little bitch seduced a man.

After half a year, Lin Mi has been sent to serve in Bianjing, sent to Shu to a wife and five concubines together to the capital, the same night, Lin Mi can not wait to under the lamp one by one to review the concubines of the Palace of Mercy nevus, when he saw the He Fangzi, the face with a smile of triumph stiffened down, in a fit of rage, and then immediately gave the He Fangzi two slaps, asked her why this is? He Fangzi put her head down, her face without a trace of expression, her teeth tightly biting her lips. Lin Mi was furious, ordered the torture, He Fangzi self-confessed that not only the action has not transgressed, is not emotionally transgressed, and refused to admit that he had any lover. The whip, one by one, the heart of the hope of He Fangzi cracked bit by bit, she was completely desperate, leaving a letter of blood and tears, hanged himself.

Lin Mi still thinks that He Fangzi died of shame. Indeed He Fangzi died with some feelings of shame that her delicate body had fallen into the hands of such a person. Lin Mi to He Fangzi to death confession of the suicide note does not pay attention to, hastily on the He Fangzi buried things, Lin Mi in Wanxian wealth and power, killed a slave or wrongfully killed a concubine, as long as some silver, the family and various relations, can be settled, however, at the foot of the Bianjing City, can be a human life is at stake, is not a small matter. Linfu died a concubine, the next day will be spreading, Kaifeng heard the news, take the initiative to scout. The first step was to open the coffin and examine the body, and found that He Fangzi's skin was open, and her whole body was covered with whip wounds. The next step is to mention Lin Mi came to interrogate, Lin Mi can not hide, one by one to tell the story.

So the judge used Lin Mi's remaining cinnabar, dyed in three women's arms, and then put a live gecko on the arm of one of them, instantly licked those guardian sand clean, in fact, guardian sand point in the virgin's arm, after a few days of no washing, will be able to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous, and then rubbed or washing will not be wiped out, and the more bright, but after intercourse, the color will be on their own! But for women who have already had a history of marriage, the Palace Guard Sand is useless, and He Fangzi was greatly wronged. The Kaifeng Prefect ruled that He Fangzi was innocent, and that Lin Mi had abused lynchings to force the death of his concubine, removing him from office and imposing a heavier penalty.

Because the case involves the Sichuan area, involved in comforting the children of the latter Shu regime, and thus even the central specialized in criminal justice Da Lisi also started, just when the Da Lisi re-sentencing, Lin Mi died mysteriously, on the E real people also committed suicide in the lake. People sympathize with He Fangzi's experience, she traveled a long way from Sichuan Wanxian to Bianjing, but she was wronged and aggrieved, so some people initiated the construction of a "Chaste Lady Temple". This temple since the Song Dynasty to the present, the successive generations to be rebuilt, a thousand years later, so far in Kaifeng, Henan Province, south of the city still have this temple, sometimes people also call it "Shougong Temple".

Jin Dynasty "Museum" recorded: If you feed the gecko with vermilion, the gecko will turn red. Eat full seven pounds of cinnabar, the gecko pounded and a thousand hammer and pestle, and then use it to point the woman's limbs, the color will not fade. Only after intercourse, its color will fade fade fade, is called "guardian sand". With this legend in the wonderful and simple can represent the woman "chastity" method, regardless of whether it is true, some dynasties will be selected into the palace of the woman point on the "Shougong sand", as its whether there is a crime of adultery, the sign of the precepts. The word was spread, the blackmail, there will be many later martial arts novels authors borrowed "Shougong sand" to do the article.

Since the "sand of the womb" is added to the artificial, rather than a woman's natural, in the unmarried women looking for the so-called "sand of the womb", only to illustrate the boredom and ignorance of the people. By the same token, the presence or absence of the "womb-guarding sand" has nothing to do with chastity. If the modern people will be the traditional fallacy as a treasure, then the degree of ignorance can be imagined.
