Why do you say "peach blossom luck"? What is the basis?

Peach blossom has a close relationship with women since ancient times. "Peach Blossom Luck" in ancient times meant that young men were favored and appreciated by women, but now it generally means being loved by the opposite sex. There is a poem in the Book of Songs, "Peach flies away, burning its glory, and its son returns home, describing the scene of a woman getting married."

In Zhouyi, "Woods You Mao" represents four directions: due south, due north, due east and due west. Four elephants meet and peach blossoms bloom. At this time, it is best to seek affection between men and women, so people call love "peach blossom luck"

It is said that the word "Peach Blossom Luck" originated from Wei Zi's Dou Shu, which is an important branch of China's traditional numerology. It determines the position of the zodiac according to the year, month, day and time of birth, and forms the horoscope.

There are twelve palaces, such as Brother Palace, Couple Palace, Daughter Palace, Finance Palace, Capital Relocation Palace, Handmaiden Palace, Lu Guan Palace, Tianzhai Palace, Fude Palace and Parents Palace. Combining the astrology of each palace with the divination in Zhouyi can predict people's fate.

The "peach blossom luck" in numerology is based on the position of the five elements in the "birth", namely "longevity, bathing, crown belt, official position, emperor glory, decline, illness, death, tomb, extinction, pregnancy and support". If the Universiade and the fleeting time are transported to the "bathing" stage, it is called "Peach Blossom Luck".

The ancients thought that meeting "meridian You Mao" was a sign of peach blossom luck. If the meridian You Mao appears in the eight characters, it is called "Peach Blossom Entering Life". Peach blossom luck can also be divided into "good peach blossom" and "bad peach blossom", so those who make peach blossom luck should be rational and calm.

Why use the word "Peach Blossom Luck" to describe the ambiguous relationship between men and women?

Why use the word "Peach Blossom Luck" to describe the ambiguous relationship between men and women? Why not "chrysanthemum" and "safflower"? One of the reasons is the beauty of peach blossoms. When the peach blossoms first opened, red and white set each other off, and they were shy and colorful, which coincided with the affectionate feelings of men and women.

The word "peach blossom" means that someone's temperament is artistic and romantic. It can penetrate the mutual admiration between men and women and show the beauty of men and women. Such a woman's husband's family is naturally satisfied with the metaphor that peach trees are full of fruits and lush foliage.

Therefore, when the ancients praised and congratulated this marriage, they often said that "it is not only a gift from the Duke of Zhou, but also a poem". This is the place where the ceremony was made. Through historical and cultural analysis and research, this is probably the official origin of the word "Peach Blossom Luck".

Since ancient times, peach blossom has occupied a high position in the emotional life of China literati. It is not only an important theme of poets and painters in past dynasties, but also the ancients liked to wear peach blossoms, thinking that it could increase the "peach blossom luck".

Zanhua in Song Dynasty not only has the function of "following the peach blossom luck", but also becomes a symbol of fashion. Zanhua was not only limited to women, but also became popular among men in the Song Dynasty.
