The bride’s bouquet is essential on the wedding day, so why does the bride need to get a bouquet?
Why does the bride need to get a bouquet?
Marriage is the most sacred and important thing in the lives of both men and women. Marriage witnesses the eternal love between two people, and there are many exquisite wedding ceremonies. On the wedding day, the bride holds a bouquet. The reason why brides have taken bouquets on their wedding day since ancient times can be traced back to what happened in the very old medieval history of Europe.
Everyone must have heard of the famous European perfume story. Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King" by the world, only took a bath once in 64 years of his life. He was only willing to take a bath when he was dying, and was advised to do so by doctors many times. After only ten minutes of washing, I screamed and finally had to give up. This astonishing record is still preserved in the daily physical records of Louis XIV's medical officer. Clean-loving ladies at that time, including the king's numerous lovers, only washed themselves once or twice a year.
Louis XV only bathed three times in his life, when he was born, married and buried. Even so, the royal family, let alone the common people. In Paris in the 18th century, there was no perfect sewer drainage system, so residents along the streets had to pour the human and animal excrement accumulated the night before outside their windows. In order to show their grace, courteous gentlemen often walk on the left side of ladies when walking along the street, using their bodies to cover the slight filth flowing down. This eventually evolved into the custom of men on the left and women on the right.
Innocent passers-by continued to be attacked, so much so that the Paris city government had to issue regulations: From now on, you must shout "Be careful!" - "Make sure no one downstairs can empty the chamber pot. The streets are filthy and the rooms are dirty." It's not much better. There are traces of "Tianmi Palace" everywhere on the clothes and walls, and the house is a breeding ground for bacteria... So the French craftsmen in this environment have studied perfume to the extreme.
Why were Europeans reluctant to take baths at that time? In fact, this was not the case before. The numerous luxurious public baths in ancient Rome are proof of this. However, in the 15th century, people frightened by the plague were looking for them everywhere. The reason directly led to many innocent women being executed as witches. Some doctors claimed that the plague was spread through the air. When taking a bath, the pores would open, and the poisonous air would take the opportunity to enter the human body and make people sick. It will resist disease. Doctors advised healthy people not to bathe, and bathing was regarded as a treatment at that time, and the treatment was mainly for the mentally ill.
At the same time, according to the Catholic Church's view, the body was considered dirty. In order to be closer to God, not bathing became a symbol of holiness. Coupled with the decline of the Roman Empire and the neglect of public baths, ordinary people could not afford bathing facilities such as large iron pots, wooden bathtubs, and soap. It is well known that these poor hygiene habits led to the outbreak of plague in the 17th century. It was not until the 1930s that, with the advancement of science, people re-recognized the importance of keeping the body clean and gradually resumed the habit of bathing. The concept of "health care" has only gradually been established.
Let us turn our attention to the United Kingdom, which is committed to Brexit. Although its geographical location and political system are "independent", the "aristocratic customs" of the upper class are Not to be left behind! During the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), which was the Ming Dynasty in China, because the queen loved sweets and there were no toothpaste, toothbrushes and other cleaning supplies at that time, her teeth became black and her breath smelled bad. . At the same time, she covered herself with perfume to cover up the unpleasant smell caused by not taking a bath for a long time.
If anyone dares to show some disgust or dissatisfaction with the queen's body odor, haha, demonstrate. Are you tired? The Queen even made a law prohibiting people from distributing paintings that do not conform to the Queen's image. Historically, the bust of Elizabeth I is the ancestor of PS technology. The Queen is also very old in her works. Pearls made the girl feel ashamed.
Perhaps this is why Elizabeth I was called the "Virgin Queen". It was popular at that time for royal families to intermarry to keep the noble blood pure. However, the prince heard about their envoys' beautification. They were scared away.
