Legend has it that there was a place called Ruzhou in ancient Luoyang, and there was a small town called Miaoxia in the state. There is a wonderful custom here. When a man and a woman are engaged, the woman should give the man a wallet by herself. If there is an early marriage, the relatives of the woman's family should embroider one and give it to the man as a token.

There is a girl in town named Jade Girl, who is only eighteen years old. She is very good at embroidery. So many girls came to propose marriage, but all of them were rejected by her family. It turns out that the girl already has the right man and has been recognized by her family. Unfortunately, this man was exiled by the army and never heard from again. Later, the jade girl embroidered a purse every month to represent her yearning for men and hung it on the peony outside the window. Then there is what people often say, purse peony.
