What does Eighth Sister mean by throwing hydrangeas?

Eight sisters throwing hydrangeas is a very important festival activity in ancient traditional culture. On this festival, Bajie, a rich girl, will throw a hydrangea among many admirers, and the man who catches the hydrangea will win Bajie's favor and her heart. This activity symbolizes love and happiness. It is not only a blessing for love and a better life, but also the inheritance of the ancient king's thought of "choosing talents and marrying".

There is also a cultural background behind the eight sisters throwing hydrangeas. The ancient hydrangea activity is a social game between classes, and rich girls can participate in it, which shows their life experience and status. At the same time, this behavior of throwing hydrangeas to choose a spouse is also to solidify the relationship between men and women from the beginning, to determine it through etiquette, to avoid unnecessary discussion and speculation, and to determine the fate of the family and children from the early marriage, which shows the connection between the family and the "aristocratic family".

With the changes of the times, the modern Eight Sisters throwing hydrangeas has become a symbol of cultural heritage. People no longer pay too much attention to wealth and status, because today most people pay more attention to how to experience the emotional and cultural connotations contained in it. Therefore, the modern version of Eight Sisters throwing hydrangeas re-emphasizes the significance of its cultural heritage. It is not only a competition to find emotion and wealth, but also an optimistic attitude to absorb the essence of ancient traditional culture and adapt to the needs of modern people.
