What are the sachet cultures?

The sachet was called "sachet" in ancient times, also known as "wearing curtain", "allowing fragrance", "sachet" and "purse". Qingyang is commonly known as "tight" or "play". It uses colored silk thread to embroider various patterns with ancient, magical and profound connotations on colored silk, and sews them into embroidered small cloth bags with different shapes and sizes, which are filled with fine powder developed by various fragrant Chinese herbal medicines, so as to celebrate festivals and practical life.

The sachet has been described in some chapters of The Book of Songs, indicating that the sachet existed as early as about 3000 years ago. The Book of Rites says, "Five choices are embroidery." The sachet is embroidered with blue, red, yellow, white and black silk threads, which are colorful and naturally have aesthetic functions of decorating clothes and nourishing emotions. Moreover, because it is filled with special Chinese herbal medicines, it also has the effects of exorcism, sterilization and refreshing. The Book of Rites stipulates that underage men and women must wear sachets to worship their parents sooner or later, which shows that sachets also have ceremonial functions. During the Warring States and even the Qin, Han and Jin Dynasties, big men publicly wore sachets, which gradually became special products for women and children after the Jin Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, officials and historians began to wear sachets in robes, and the role of etiquette became more and more prominent. In the Qing Dynasty, sachets became a good gift, especially for lovers. In modern times, sachet is an effective carrier of traditional culture, which plays an irreplaceable role in interpersonal communication, beautifying the environment, cultivating sentiment and expressing feelings. Send a sachet, convey a friendship, bring a good mood and express a good wish, which contains rich cultural connotation and spiritual orientation.

The history of making and wearing sachets can be traced back at least to the Warring States Period. In Qu Yuan's Li Sao, there are "Hujiang powder, Bi Xi Zhi, and Qiu Lan think it is admirable." Li Jiang, Fructus Aurantii and Qiulan are all herbs. Sewing means connecting. Pei is, which means sachet and wearing. The whole sentence means taking Pei Wei, who is full of herbs. Thus, as early as the Warring States period when Qu Zi was alive, the sachet was an ornament.
