📜 Origin & History

The pomegranate originated in Persia. Zhang Qian brought pomegranate seeds back to China during his Han Dynasty mission to the Western Regions, and the pomegranate took root. Pomegranate flowers are fiery red; Han Yu's poem 'In May, the pomegranate flowers dazzle the eyes' captures the breathtaking beauty of pomegranate red.

During the Tang Dynasty, pomegranate red skirts were all the rage in Chang'an. The pomegranate skirt was a standard for young women. Wu Zetian wrote of watching vermilion turn to green, with pomegranate red carrying the youthful memories of a generation of empresses. Wan Chu's poetry also describes slender waists bound in pomegranate skirts.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, pomegranate red porcelain became popular. Jingdezhen fired pomegranate red glazes that were vivid and bright. 'Lang Kiln Red' includes a pomegranate red shade; the vessel shape is full like a pomegranate fruit, symbolizing abundant offspring and blessings.

Folk tradition views the pomegranate as an auspicious symbol of many seeds (children). Pomegranate red wedding dresses imply a house full of descendants. The combination of pomegranate, Buddha's hand citron, and peach forms the 'Three Abundances' motif, a common auspicious pattern in Ming and Qing arts and crafts.

Contemporary pomegranate red has been reinterpreted by the fashion world. Valentino Red contains the gene of pomegranate red; a sensual, passionate red dress is every woman's wardrobe 'armor'.
