After reading a lot of information, I realized the power of the tobacco bag girl: tobacco was introduced from Russia to the northeast in the late Ming Dynasty. Because the soil and climate in the northeast were suitable for tobacco growth, it quickly took root here and was accepted by people. In the Qing Dynasty, the Banners were the ruling class at that time, and they lived a good life, especially when unmarried girls had the opportunity to choose concubines, which was highly praised by foreigners. They don't do housework on weekdays, and smoking big cigarettes has become a fashion to declare their identity, just as fashionable girls now want to get a slim cigarette to "set an example". At that time, it was also enviable for the flag-bearer girls to pick up the tobacco pouch and pose, so there was a legend in the rivers and lakes that "the flag-bearer girl is really strange, with a big tobacco pouch in her mouth".
When a Manchu girl gets married, an exquisite cigarette bag is an essential dowry. In this way, this habit and custom has been handed down. In the old Manchu family, the "big rule" was that the daughter-in-law who served her in-laws should pack a pack of cigarettes for her in-laws and light them before going back to her room to rest at night. The next morning, when I greeted my in-laws, the first thing I did was to wrap cigarettes and light them. It can be seen that the kung fu of Manchu girls holding tobacco bags came in handy after marriage. Even now, there is a "cigarette-wrapping ceremony" at weddings in rural areas in Northeast China. After the bride worships heaven and earth, she will light a cigarette for her husband's relatives and elders, and the elders who collect cigarettes will also give her a certain amount of "cigarette money" as a gift.
Of course, "the girl has a big tobacco pouch in her hand" is also related to the seasonal climate in the northeast. In the slack season, people get together to smoke when they are free, and men make a lot of noise and women make a noise together. In winter, farmers in Northeast China begin to "cat winter" and visit each other when they have nothing to do. When you arrive at someone else's house, the greeting is: "Come, smoke." "The bride's family goes to the kang, and the pipe bag is handed to you" has become a hospitality etiquette. In this way, the girl who should be quiet and refined has also entered the ranks of "smokers".
"The girl has a big tobacco bag in her hand" is also related to the living habits of the rural areas in Northeast China in the past. At that time, women had a close relationship with cigarettes. There are two baskets on the farmer's kang: one is for women to sew clothes, and the other is for dry cigarettes. Women sometimes smoke with pipes while sewing. Because women not only have to work at home, but also often work in the fields, smoking is also to prevent being bitten by insects and snakes.
The big girl with a big tobacco pouch was the psychological expression of women advocating masculine beauty at that time. Northeast men are generous, and big girls are no exception. Holding a tobacco pouch adds a sense of heroism. You men smoke, women are worse, your tobacco pouch is longer, and my tobacco pouch is longer than yours! Women's liberation probably started with the big girls in the northeast!
