📜 Origin & History

The name Peach Pink originates from peach blossoms blooming in March. As early as the Book of Songs, there was the verse 'The peach tree is young and elegant, brilliant are its flowers,' praising women's beauty and youth with peach blossoms. In the pre-Qin era, peach pink had become a byword for beauty, and the peach color was regarded as a symbol of spring and life.

During the Han Dynasty, peach pink dyes began to appear in brocade, mostly extracted from madder and safflower, yielding a warm hue. In the Tang Dynasty, the 'Peach Blossom Makeup' became popular among women, using rouge to create the effect of a face like a peach blossom, making peach pink a decorative color exclusively for women.

Literati aesthetics in the Song Dynasty favored understated elegance. Peach pink gradually shifted from a vibrant color for marriages to a refined hue for the boudoir. Peach blossom motifs and peach pink glazes on porcelain became representative types of Ding and Jingdezhen kilns, giving the color a dual character of 'elegance' and 'popularity.'

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Taohuawu New Year prints heavily used peach pink plates, making it a standard color for festivity and good luck in folk art. Meanwhile, in Dream of the Red Chamber, Xiren's outfit of scallion green paired with peach pink was mocked by Baochai as 'vulgar,' showing the color's oscillation between refined and popular tastes.

In modern times, peach pink is ubiquitous in Chinese daily life—from Spring Festival couplets to cheongsams, from Peach Blossom Fans to contemporary design. It continuously carries the Eastern imagination of spring, love, and a beautiful life.
