What kind of ghost are these men's "Golden Bell" covers?

If you look carefully

Sixteenth Century style painting, you will find that eh? At that time, the country's male pencil seemed to grow very well! And "raise the flag", go out to play, the guts are enough fat.

In fact, the illusion is that the crotch of their crotch cloth".

This is called

The artifact of the codpiece is one of the most important ornaments of the American men in the sixteenth Century. It is a capsule shaped outer shell, holding lace, embroidery and jewelry, which is at the bottom of soft linen, sewn in pants, straps on the top of the waist line, give yourself a home bird.

A small bag of heaven and earth

Why then the man tied to the giants out of love? It's also from the middle ages......

The earliest European men had long coats and no trousers. In the middle ages, the nobles fell in love with the horse, wearing long clothes and action is not convenient, but also particularly vulnerable to the dew point, so a shrinks a vest, socks and extends to the waist, a similar "pants".

However, this kind of pants is in the middle

Kaidang, man legs only a thin underwear shelter, a wind channeling crotch, really "cool" was utterly routed! In order to let the words no longer men had covered the rock, a layer of cloth in the "mystery".

In 1475, the UK suddenly issued a very strange law: only the society has enjoyed gongzige

The privilege of displaying private parts! Hearing the good news, aristocracy began to show off their "baby", and between the legs of the g-string, has become more and more sophisticated, in sixteenth Century, codpiece became the European explosion.

The nobility not only it looks very beautiful, hope it gigantic. What sort of stereo cuts? Where's the padding?...... There is nothing to be desired. When we meet, we compare with each other: "my Ding is the biggest."! "Clearly I bigger than you around! "Hush, you will have my how big? "...... And the biggest codpiece was there

A child's head is so big. The picture is so beautiful that I can't watch it.

The great vulture complex of Kings

Codpiece the most idiotic powder is Britain's King Henry VIII, he even in the army's armour are equipped with a giant pocket crotch cover, because he is convinced that the soldier is more more strong fighting capacity.

But anthropologist Grace W.Vicary said: "at that time but grandees Impenetrable Defence" is not just to ratio, or to

Syphilis treatment! At the beginning of sixteenth Century the European syphilis outbreak, love. Is the hardest hit by the rich men's sons infected with codpiece, wrap the injured Ding Ding, Ding Department of Medicine on not dirty clothes. Henry VIII, who married 6 wives and private Luan, is one of the victims of syphilis, so he especially needs to create a false impression of Hun under his crotch......

Later, "big crotch cover" why fall out of favor?

In 1558, when Henry VIII's daughter, Elizabeth, ascended the throne, the trend began to become feminine, and codpiece became more and more low-key, rustic, and gradually disappearing...... I do not know is the queen Elizabeth intends to uncover the man legs of the fig leaf?

Although codpiece is no longer popular, many artists of the later generation are always interested in bringing it out to pay homage:

Don't think that only Europeans like "crotch""

Generations living on the island of New Guinea "like a Terran" brother, because the genetic gene is too strong, they are hung under 20 ~ 30 cm giant, in order to prevent the work when the pencil has been rub on the ground, so they use gourd handle, animal skin or cattle horn made crotch pocket cover, put the words in the fixed waist.

They heard that the tribe has a "king of kings" boy, can achieve amazing 56cm resurgence, literally a "hair" can hit 6 meters outside the enemy...... Well, this offensive weapon should be loaded into a bag when not in use.

In addition, my big Chinese people have had a crotch pocket by bamboo, do not believe you can see Wang Xiaobao in

"These words" Wanshou temple in: "in his belly button in front of a bamboo basket, hanging like a big mushroom. "

Well, don't tell me you even do not know what is the big mushroom. However, the trouble of happy chicken lies in: with bamboo sticks, does not the egg hurt?!

Finally say one sentence:

Next time, with my favorite sister to see the sixteenth Century paintings, remember to use codpiece flexibly to install X ah, ah, all knowledge ah, friends!
