It is an excellent place for the public to appreciate plum blossoms. When it comes to plum blossoms, everyone must know that the "Wu Mei Niang makeup" popular on the Internet some time ago is the ancient "plum blossom makeup". According to the large-scale book "Tai Ping Yu Lan" compiled in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Princess Shouyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, was lying on her back under Her Royal Highness Hanzhang on the seventh day of the first lunar month of a certain year. The plum tree in front of the temple was blown by the breeze. , A plum blossom fell down, just sticking to the princess's forehead impartially, and it could not be peeled off. Three days later, the plum blossoms were cleaned, but the princess left a mark of five petals on her forehead. Seeing that the plum blossom print on the princess's forehead was so beautiful, the lady in the palace wanted to follow suit, so she cut the plum blossoms and attached it to her forehead. A new beauty technique was born, and it was called "plum blossom makeup" at that time. The red plum forehead makeup was even more prosperous. The plum blossoms bloomed by Ling Han alone and had no intention of struggling for spring. Once the group was jealous, the ladies in the palace, whether they were court ladies, maids, or even Wu Meiniang, were very fond of plum blossom makeup, and cut and pasted the plum blossoms on the forehead. Later, this plum blossom makeup gradually became the palace daily makeup and spread to the folks. It became a fashion makeup that folk women, eunuchs, and kabuki dancers competed to imitate. Interested female tourists can also try this makeup.
