Why is "March 8th" a curse?

The word "March 8th Festival" is generally considered to have been learned from Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas. This woman is frivolous, reckless, crazy and not serious enough.

According to Yuan Huai's Zhang Zhang Lu in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a prostitute in the Northern Song Dynasty who was beautiful and perverse, and was called "Born Zhang Ba". Kou Zhun, her old picture frame, took the liberty of asking Ye Wei, the third hermit, for poems for her. Ye Wei, who was too proud to be invited by the emperor's eldest son, wrote a poem to amuse him: "You gave birth to Zhang Ba for Beidao, and I am Wei San from Xizhou. Don't blame me for not laughing before, and I won't know each other for long. "

March 8th is out! Visible, it was originally used to scold Kou Zhun, has nothing to do with women. Later, "March 8th" spread to Hong Kong and Taiwan, which became a special curse to women, and it should be the language variation in the process of "immigration".

Along with the March 8th Festival, there is also an idiom-"medium-cooked". In Taiwan Province Province, China, "Half-life" is used to scold men, meaning similar to "March 8th Festival".

Extended data

"March 8th" has a more well-founded explanation:

After the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, five ports traded with each other, and a large number of foreigners entered China. According to the regulations, the Qing court asked foreigners to enter residential areas to buy daily necessities on the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth lunar months.

In the past three days, foreigners' women, like birds, were so excited that they wore colorful clothes, which made China men salivate and attracted many local women to despise them: these "March 8th" came again!

In this way, the word "March 8" has gradually become a meaningful derogatory term, which usually refers to coquettish, provocative, frivolous and crazy. In fact, "March 8" refers to three days with "eight", which is mentioned in many ancient books in China, such as Lou Jian's "Northbound Journal": "If you are in Suoguo Temple, the temple will be opened on March 8 every month."

Similar to the March 8 th Festival, there are also eight women who talk about nosy and gossiping women. In Hong Kong's film and television dramas, we can often see the role of Eight Bitches.

In ancient times, "Eight Bitches" were actually the general names of eight occupations that women at the bottom were engaged in, including matchmaker, midwife, Lamian Noodles woman, rice-soaking woman, shirt-washing woman, shoulder-carrying woman, breast-feeding woman and witch. Because these women often walk up and down the street, they are well-informed, well-informed, and their mouths are not strict, and short private letters from their parents often spread through them.

Everyone hates those gossiping behaviors. So "bitch" has gradually become a curse word. The negative image of "Eight Bitches" in people's minds, like "March 8th", can be said that jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed away.
