“程姬之疾”是古代读书人用来指妇女生理期那点事的文雅说法,它最早出现在太史公的《史记》中。千百年来,这个词早已成为一个特殊名词进入到浩瀚的国学典籍和文学领域,甚至成为君王贤德与否的试金石。随着时代的发展,“程姬之疾”这一称谓在现代汉语中已很少出现,取而代之的倒是其他一些被妇女们广泛接受的生理期隐语。 “Cheng Ji of disease ” is an ancient saying used by the ancient scholar to refer to women’s menstrual period, which first appeared in the “Historical Records” of Taishi Gong. For thousands of years, this word has long been a special noun into the vast field of Chinese studies and literature, and even become the touchstone of the king’s virtue or not. With the development of the times, the title “Cheng Ji’s Disease” has seldom appeared in modern Chinese. Instead, it has been replaced by other physiological phrases that are widely accepted by women.
