The traditional Chinese sachets (香包) are little bags used to hold small objects from the very beginning. The wearing of sachets has a long and rich history. In the Shang Dynasty, young people wore them to show respect (尊敬). During the Spring and Autumn Period, people put herbs (香草) and spices (香料) into sachets to make their living environment cleaner. In the Han Dynasty, people wore them both to give off nice smell and make themselves look more beautiful.
There are many kinds of pictures on Chinese traditional sachets. Each picture has a different meaning. For kids, common pictures are tigers, lions and other strong animals. That’s because parents want their children to be lively and healthy. But for old people, the best wish is to live long. So, pictures like pine trees (松树) or cranes (鹤) are popular with them. Newly married couples often wear sachets with peaches or lotus flowers. It’s a wish for a happy marriage.
In ancient times, sachets were also an important object for women to show their love. If a woman likes a man, she will make a sachet and give it to him to show her feelings.
Ancient women didn’t often talk about their feelings openly. As their personal object, the sachet became one of the best ways to show love.
In modern life, sachets are also very popular! People often hang them in their cars to make driving more enjoyable. They also put them in closets to keep their clothes smelling fresh. Sometimes, people put them in the office to make it more relaxing.
