📜 Origin & History

In traditional Chinese culture, peach blossoms are not only messengers of spring but also symbols of warding off evil and longevity. The myth of Kua Fu turning into a peach forest after death imbued Peach Blossom Pink with imagery of life and vitality originating from ancient mythology.

The 'Book of Songs' verse 'The peach tree is young and elegant, brilliant are its flowers' used blooming peach blossoms to praise a new bride's delicate beauty and robust fertility. Thus, Peach Blossom Pink became deeply rooted in the Chinese auspicious color system related to marriage, family, and lineage.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, noblewomen's makeup popularized 'Peach Blossom Makeup.' Women used rouge to create large, diffused areas of peach-pink blush on their cheeks, achieving a shy, beautiful look akin to a face like a peach blossom, one of the most classic looks in ancient beauty history.

In Ming and Qing garden art, the concept of 'Pink Peach Blossoms and Green Willows' was emphasized. Peach Blossom Pink against verdant green willows formed the strongest complementary color contrast, regarded by literati as the most poetic and vital natural color pairing of spring, entrusting a yearning for a secluded, idyllic life.

In modern times, Peach Blossom Pink has shed some of its mystical fertility connotations and is more commonly used for baby products and young girls' clothing, becoming a synonym for innocence, liveliness, and purity, still conveying the most intimate warmth of the East.
