According to the Natural History of Jin Dynasty, if you feed the gecko with cinnabar, the gecko will turn red all over. After eating seven kilograms of cinnabar, mash the gecko and dye the limbs of the Virgin with it, so the color will not fade. Only after sexual intercourse, its color will fade, so it is called "palace sand"
Using this legendary method with excellent effect and simple steps to verify women's "chastity", no matter whether it is true or not, some dynasties put "palace sand" on women who were elected to the palace as a sign of adultery. When it was circulated among the people, many martial arts novelists used "Zhen Gong Sha" to make an issue of it.
It is said that palace sand can only be used to verify the virginity of virgins, and married women are absolutely invalid. In fact, this method was popularized with the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

Other verification methods:
1, blood test
The ancients were superstitious about blood, thinking that the blood of virgins was different from that of women. At that time, if you want to use this method to test whether a woman is still a virgin, you usually take a bowl of clear water, then prick the woman's middle finger and drop blood into the bowl.
If the blood drops into a condensed circle, it proves that this woman is a virgin; If the blood gradually disperses after entering the water, it proves to be a woman who has lost her virginity. This practice has no scientific basis and is completely a folk rumor.
At that time, some prostitutes liked to prove their innocence in this way because it was too easy to tamper with. Just add a small drop of oil to this bowl of clear water.
The blood drops in the bowl will be round and will never spread out. Prove that you are a virgin in this way, deceive those graceful guests and raise your social status.
2. Sneezing test
This method is very popular in the palace. If you want to test whether a maid-in-waiting is a virgin, a few experienced mammy will prepare a pot of incense ashes or floating soil first. Then let the maids take off their shirts and squat down on the washbasin.
Then stimulate her nose with pepper or smelling salt to make her sneeze. If the incense ash does not change after sneezing, it proves to be a virgin. If the incense ash has changed, such as a pit has been sunken, or there are traces of being blown, it proves to be female.
3, falling red
Even in today's society, many people believe in this method to detect whether a woman has lost her virginity. In ancient times, when a woman just got married, she had to put a red handkerchief on her bed. After the husband and wife have sex in bed, the red handkerchief will be sent to her mother-in-law for examination the next day.
Only when the mother-in-law passes the inspection can the woman be officially regarded as a daughter-in-law. If she doesn't fall in love, she is a daughter who has lost her virginity. Not only will her marriage not count, but she will be swept out of the house directly, and even her family will be ashamed to accept her again.
However, after modern scientific argumentation, this method is not scientific, because everyone's situation is different, and it is biased to generalize simply.
4. Look at the corner of your eye
China has a face since ancient times. Zhu Yuanzhang was once said to be a dragon pupil and a phoenix eye, and he really became the founding emperor; Wu Zetian was asserted by warlocks that she was either rich or expensive at an early age, and finally became the only queen. The ancients thought that there was a pure heart in the face, and people's faces could explain many problems.
You can even tell from a woman's face whether she has lost her virginity. They believe that if a woman's eyes are pink and red and there are no wrinkles at the end of her eyes, it proves that she is a virgin. And if the eyes are dirty, it proves to be a woman who has lost her virginity for a long time.
