每年五月的第二个星期日是母亲节,在此期间,“巾帼”这一名词就会在我国新闻媒体上频繁出现,因为只有母亲、女性才有权享用这一美称,如“巾帼不让须眉,争先不落人后”、“中华儿女立奇志,当代巾帼谱新篇”、“巾帼英雄胆气壮,劳动模范心灵美”……。记得我少年时,有一次参加灯谜会,我懵中了一条谜面为“巾帼逞威”的字谜,谜底是“戌”。但那时我并不知道“巾帼”这个词的意义,待到年长,方知“巾帼”常被用于女性的代称,如称女能人为“巾帼英雄”、“巾帼豪杰”等。为何“巾帼”可以作为女性的代称呢?原来,巾帼是我国古代妇女的一种假髻,它用金属做成框架,外裱黑色缯帛以代头发。使用时直接戴在头顶,再绾以簪钗。因只用于妇女,故引申为妇女的代称。唐代元稹《酬乐天东南行》诗 The second Sunday in May of each year is Mother’s Day, during which period the term “帼 帼” appears frequently in our news media because only mothers and females have the right to enjoy this reputation, Women do not let men fall behind, “” The children of China set up their hearts in a new chapter, “” Women’s courage and courage, spiritual model worker “. I remember when I was a boy, I attended the riddle once, and I was riddled with a riddle for the ”insignia“, and the answer is ”Xu.“ However, at that time, I did not know the meaning of the word ”帼 帼“. When I was older, I was often used to refer to women on behalf of women, ”Trousers“ and so on. Why ”Women “ can be used as a synonym for women? It turned out that the woman is an ancient Chinese women’s hair bun, which made of metal frame, framed black silk on behalf of the hair. When worn directly on the head, then 绾 hairpin hairpin. Because only for women, it is extended to women’s behalf. Yuan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty ”Pay Lotte southeast line" poem
