I-tac, tac, tac, i-echo yezithende izwakala kuyo yonke imigwaqo nezindlela. Iyazwakala ize ihehe abangenalwazi kakhulu noma abaqaphe kangako, ngoba ngaphezu komsindo, ukugqoka izithende kubhekwa njengophawu lobufazi, ukuthuthukisa ubuhle nokubonisa inkanuko umuntu wesifazane ngamunye akulangazelelayo futhi akufeze ngalolu hlobo lwezicathulo .

Kusukela ekusungulweni kwayo kuze kube manje, abesifazane bachaza izithende njengesikhali esiqinisekisiwe sokunqoba ukubukeka. Kodwa-ke, kukhona labo abasabela ngokumelene nalezi zicathulo, empeleni ezazifuna ukuphakamisa ubude (ngazo zonke izindlela) kubantu abazisebenzisayo.

Namuhla iphakama ngaphezu kwamasentimitha emzimbeni. Akunandaba ukuthi umbala, usayizi noma okokusebenza, izithende zihlala zibukeka zizinhle kulabo abazigqokayo, kungaba yimfashini noma ukuziveza nje. Ukuphepha, ubukhosi nokuzwana kungezinye zezinzuzo zalokhu kusungulwa kwasendulo.

Kwasukasukela…
Umlando wezithende uqala ezinqabeni zezindlovukazi namakhosana, okuthi, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma cha, akhethe lesi simanga ukuthi imfashini ibanikeza njengeseva.
Amakhasi aphuzi ezincwadi asitshela ukuthi umuntu wokuqala owabona izithende kwakunguCatalina de 'Medici, owathi ngekhulu lama-XNUMX leminyaka wagqoka lolu hlobo lwezicathulo.

UCatherine wayeyindodakazi yomndeni ohlonishwayo waseFlorentine. Encane futhi emfushane, wayedinga ukuthola indlela yokuthi ngesikhathi somshado wakhe, lokhu kukhubazeka kungabonakali. Ngo-1533 waya eParis washada no-Enrique de Valois, owayedume kakhulu esigabeni sobukhosi njengoHenry II, owayeyinkosi yaseFrance.

Kodwa-ke, yize uCatalina ehlonishwa njengowokuqala ukugqoka izithende, ukubuyekezwa kukhombisa ukuthi kwakungamadoda abonakala egqoke lezi zicathulo.
Abesifazane babengazifaki izicathulo eziphakeme, ngoba iziketi ezinde ezazimboza amaqakala abo zazisefashinini, ngakho-ke babegqoka amabhuzu. Kwabesilisa baseFrance ngekhulu le-XNUMX kwakuyisidingo sokugqoka izithende, ngoba babesiza ekugibeleni: bakwenza kwaba lula futhi bathokomele ukuzijwayeza ngoba bavikela izinyawo zabo ezinyakazweni.

Omunye wabalandeli balolu hlobo lwesicathulo kwakunguLouis XVI, ababembiza ngokuthi yi-Sun King.Inkosi yaseFrance yayigqoka izithende ezibomvu njengegazi noma ezibomvu, ngoba ngokusho kwayo, lelo kwakuyizwi izikhulu ezazikhomba ngalo. uthole umlingani ekwakhiweni kwalolu hlobo lwezicathulo: UNicholas Lasrage, ingcweti yaseFrance ebikwazi ukwenza izicathulo zibe umsebenzi wobuciko wangempela, enezela kumamodeli enza izinsimbi, amaribhoni, ama-brocade kanye nenqwaba yezinto ezijabulise uLouis IXVI, kuze kube seqophelweni lokunqabela ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zicathulo nokusabisa labo abazigqoka ngesigwebo sentambo.

Abanye besifazane bezicukuthwane babe nesibindi sokuzisebenzisa, kepha ukuze bakwazi ukuhamba kahle, behla benyuka izitebhisi - okwakuwumsebenzi omkhulu, ngoba babekala ngaphezu kwamasentimitha ayi-15 -, babedinga izinduku zokuhamba noma izisebenzi ezizobamba.

Ngaphezu kosongo lukaLouis XVI, ePhalamende laseNgilandi (ngekhulu le-XNUMX) badlulisa isitatimende bexwayisa: “Wonke umuntu wesifazane okuthi, ngokusebenzisa izicathulo ezinezithende eziphakeme noma elinye iqhinga, ahole isihloko soBukhosi Bakhe emshadweni, ajeziswe ngesijeziso sobuthakathi ”.

Ngokwengxenye yayo, eVenice, iziphathimandla nazo zenza imingcele, ngoba ngokomthetho kwakukuziphatha okubi ukugqoka izithende. Bangeze ukuthi abesifazane abaningi bawile besebenzisa lezi zicathulo futhi balahlekelwa yimiphefumulo yezingane zabo.
Ngakho-ke, kusukela kwisinqumo kuya kwesinqumo, kwehle ukusetshenziswa kwezithende nezicathulo kungekudala kuzoqala ukusetshenziswa ezingeni lomhlabathi.

Khomba
Ngemuva koguquko ekusetshenzisweni kwezithende ezedlula amasentimitha ayi-15 lwenziwa ngekhulu le-XNUMX, ngekhulu le-XNUMX isicathulo esiphakeme sasiqala ukuvela, kokubili ukujabulisa okuthandwayo nokuthandwa yizintokazi zangaleso sikhathi, kanye nokusebenza ngokunethezeka kwalezi zicathulo.

Bonakalise phansi ipharaji, njengoba izithende zithatha sonke isisindo sowesifazane futhi zikwazi ukubhoboza phansi. Zibuye zaphela ngamaqakala, amakholomu futhi nangemishado, kepha hhayi ngenxa yalezi zizathu abesifazane bayeka ukusebenzisa lezi zicathulo, beza ukuveza ukuthanda kwabo, njengomlingisi Sarah Jessica Parker, ngubani ozibuza ukuthi "Kungaba yini ukusetshenziswa kwemikhawulo, uma kungenjalo ukugqoka izithende ezinhle?
