Beautiful legend

According to legend In ancient times, there was a place called Ruzhou in Luoyang, and there was a small town called Miaoxia in the state. There is a wonderful custom here. When a man and a woman get engaged, the woman should personally give a purse to the man. If there is a baby to marry, she will also ask a relative of the woman's family to embroider one on her behalf and give it to the man as a token.

There was a girl named Yunu in the small town. She was only eighteen years old and her embroidery skills were very exquisite. There were many proposals for marriage for such a girl, but all of them were rejected by her family. It turns out that the girl already has the man she likes, and he has been recognized by her family. Unfortunately, the man was in exile and there was no news about him. Later, Jade Girl would embroider a purse every month to represent her longing for the man, and hang the purse on the peonies outside the window. Then there was what people often call purse peony.
