Do you know my mother? Today, the China story network will give you a detailed introduction.
5000 years ago, in order to better stop the vicious “marriage snatching” of the tribe, the Yellow Emperor specially chose an ugly woman (Forbidden mother) who was virtuous and gentle but ugly in appearance as his fourth wife.
The Yellow Emperor also said, “those who value beauty but not virtue are not true beauty; those who value virtue but despise color are true sages.”
In the nine chapters of the songs of Chu, Qu Yuan sang: “I am jealous of the fragrance of beauty. My mother is beautiful and self-centered.”
Momu, the second imperial concubine of the Yellow Emperor in Chinese mythology, is ugly and virtuous. It is said that Mo Mu was one of the four ugly women in ancient China. The other three were Zhong Lichun, Meng Guang and Ruan (the daughter of Ruan Dewei).
Zhong Lichun, also known as Zhong Wuyan and salt free woman, is said to be the queen of King Xuan of Qi in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period; Meng Guang, the recluse of Han Dynasty and the wife of Lianghong, the male god, respected each other as guests; Ruan’s female was the wife of a famous person in the Jin Dynasty, the wife of Lang Xuyun of the Ministry of officials, and the loyal defender of the feudal ethics of women’s “four virtues” (women’s virtue, women’s speech, women’s appearance and women’s work).
According to legend, the first mirror people used was made by Momu. At that time, people in the palace often stood by the river to reflect their faces and dress up. Mother Mo felt that she was not good-looking. She didn’t go to the river to dress herself up. She didn’t show up at traditional festivals. She only knew how to work beside the Yellow Emperor all day long. Once, Tong Yu asked Mo Mu to go up the mountain with her to dig bluestones. Mo Mu went up the mountain with Tong Yu without saying a word.
My mother has great strength. She can dig bluestones faster than other women. In less than half a day, she dug more than 20 pieces. At this time, the sun was shining on the ground at noon. Mother Mo suddenly realized that there was a shining stone in the pile of stones. The sun shone brightly. She lowered her head and gently dug the stone from the field. She took it in her hand and was shocked.
What kind of monster is this? Her ugly face is all reflected on this stone. Even she feels strange! She secretly hid these pieces of stone on her body. When she returned to the palace, she didn’t talk about it to everyone.
When there was no one around, she took down the stone, and found that the plan of the stone was uneven, and the face reflected on it was strange. Mother Mo went to the industrial plant where stone knives and axes were made. She found a terrazzo and pressed the stone flakes on it. After a while, all the surface of the stone flakes were removed.
With her eyes, she could see more clearly than just now. Only their appearance is still so ugly. She polished it for a while, took it up and took another photo, but she was still ugly. Mother Mo sighed to herself, “you can’t blame the stone (mirror) for looking ugly.” From now on, my mother never went to the riverside to dress up. People used mirrors in the history of Chinese culture, and then began. The mirror invented by Mo mu, which has been around for 5000 years, has become an essential item for almost every woman. It is mainly convenient for women. Disclaimer: the above content originates from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.

Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a very good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
