What does sachet mean?

This kind of sachet is also called flannel, box, box, Xiang Ying and Pei Wei. Today is called purse, playing with goods and shorting. It is a folk embroidery handicraft created by working women in ancient China. It is the product of China ancient farming culture marked by men plowing and women weaving, and it is the remains and regeneration of China traditional culture that has lived for thousands of years.

The sachet was originally called "smelly". In Qu Yuan's Lisao, there is "Hujiang Powder, Bi, which Qiu Lan thinks is admirable". At that time, the spices were Bizhi and Qiu Lan. In the Ming dynasty, there were still smelly names. Traditional sachets in China are mostly made of silk and filled with realgar, smoked grass, mugwort and other spices. It is said that sachets can ward off evil spirits, so they will be hung on the Dragon Boat Festival.

In some places, there is also the custom that brides send sachets to relatives and friends. People in China believe that the bride is happy, and the sachet made by hand can dispel evil and detoxify. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival in the first year of marriage, the bride must sew sachets and distribute them to relatives and friends. As for the sachet for the lover, the meaning is more profound, and every stitch and thread contains infinite tenderness.
