The legend of "falling at the feet of a woman"

Legend has it that during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei loved pomegranate flowers very much and especially loved to wear colorful skirts embroidered with pomegranate flowers. Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty catered to her taste and planted pomegranates extensively in Xiuling, the west of Huaqing Pool, the Queen Mother Temple and other places. Whenever the pomegranate flowers bloomed, the romantic emperor would hold a banquet among the "red and fiery" pomegranate flowers.

After drinking, Yang Guifei's cheeks turned red. Her charming drunken appearance deeply loved Emperor Minghuang of Tang, who doted on her too much and ignored state affairs. The ministers did not dare to blame the emperor, so they took their anger out on Yang Guifei and refused to greet her. For this, Yang Guifei could only feel helpless.

One day, Emperor Minghuang of Tang held a banquet and invited all his ministers to drink together. He also invited Yang Guifei to dance for him. But the concubine held the wine cup to the emperor's lips and whispered to him, "Most of these ministers look at me sideways, don't salute, and are disrespectful. I don't want to dance for them." Upon hearing this, Emperor Minghuang felt that his favorite concubine was wronged, and immediately ordered that all civil officials and military officers should salute the concubine when they saw her. Those who refused to kneel down would be severely punished for deceiving the emperor. The ministers had no choice but to kneel down and salute Yang Guifei when they saw her wearing a pomegranate skirt. As a result, the allusion of "prostrating under the pomegranate skirt" has been passed down to this day and has become a common saying to worship women.
