What does it mean for ancient women to wear red ropes on their feet?

1, stay beautiful:

Fashion men and women put some precious jade such as gold and silver on red ropes and feet, which are beautifully decorated.

2. Agreed pledge:

Tie this life, tie the afterlife; Without this life, we can meet in the afterlife. A pair of lovers will wear the same red rope, male left and female right, male can also be black and female red, representing the meaning of being together forever. If a boy ties a red rope on a girl's left ankle, it means that he will never give up in his life.

Wear a chain on your ankle, referred to as "fetters". If you talk for a long time, it will become "nostalgia".

4. Best wishes:

Girls in China like to make anklets with red ropes, which means that they are getting better and better on the way forward in life.

5. On behalf of marriage:

In ancient Ling Du, there was a handsome young man named Gu Wei. One day, he happened to meet an old man sitting on the ground with a red cloth bag on his back. Curious, he asked the old man. The old man said that he was old, and there was a red rope in his bag, which was used to tie the feet of husband and wife together.

6, brothel woman's last shame:

In ancient times, girls from poor families were driven to despair by life. Or a girl who was sold by a trafficker, or a bad woman such as a girl who paid her debts, walked into a brothel. In order to save face, I will tie a red rope around my waist or ankle. There are small ornaments such as gold, silver or jade on the rope. Under special circumstances, the red rope represents the last clothes. If you have saved enough money for atonement, you can take off this red rope that represents being a good person.

7, on behalf of peace:

The anklet can be worn by both men and women, and the red rope anklet can bring you good luck. Wear the left foot-prevent the villain from wearing the right foot-make money. China always thinks that red is an auspicious color, and wearing red anklets is safe and evil. It is safest to wear accessories like this, because the feet are located in the lower part of the body and can prevent theft.
