"Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds", and ancient women can't go out. Why did Zheng Cannan meet love in the spring outing?

In ancient times, women were not allowed to go out, but there were some traditional festivals. Some women go out in women's clothes, while others dress up as men. They will go out to see lanterns and fly kites in the street in Tomb-Sweeping Day. "Out of the East Gate, there are women like clouds" in "Out of the East Gate" is about Zheng people's love for spring outing. Out of the East Gate, there are girls who have a spring outing everywhere, which is a good opportunity for Zheng boys to meet love. Many boys and girls hit it off at the spring outing and decided to be together for life.

The romantic elements of falling in love have gradually become the characteristics of spring outing in these stages. In order to make it easier for everyone to find a girlfriend, there is even a large-scale spring outing dating festival-"Shangsi Festival". Shangsi Festival is famous for choosing the first "Gregorian calendar" in March of the Gregorian calendar, which was called "China Valentine's Day" in ancient China.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the third day of March was clearly designated as Shangsi Festival. However, people in Wei and Jin Dynasties were not infatuated with love and romance during spring outing like people in the pre-Qin period, but pursued "mystery tour". Scholars regard tourism as a way to cultivate sentiment. They send affection between mountains and rivers, return to nature, drink tea between mountains and rivers, and write poems between mountains and rivers. On the third day of March in Jin Yonghe's ninth year, that is, Shangsi Festival, Wang Xizhi and his friends Xie An and Sun Chuo traveled to Huiji Mountain for 4 1 person * * * and wrote the famous travel notes, the world's first running script "Preface to Lanting Collection".

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that spring outing became a national activity. Chronicle of Tang Poetry records that every spring, the emperor takes his empresses and courtiers to visit the Liyuan and pay homage to Weishui. Making travel a system is the main manifestation of the prosperity of comprehensive national strength. On the other hand, the people responded positively and quickly formed a nationwide "spring outing fever".

At that time, in Chang 'an, the capital of China, there was a women's spring outing: ladies went out hand in hand, and Lu Yu loved flowers. Just before the flowers, they "spread the mat and borrow grass to sit around", talking and laughing, taking off their red skirts and hanging them up. These flower viewing methods are still very fashionable in Japan.
