The origin of the heart symbol The heart-shaped symbol is regarded as a symbol of love, but its origin is unknown. The earliest heart-shaped pattern found in the world is the fig leaf pendant found at the Indus Valley Civilization site. In addition, the heart shape is also very similar to the shape of the water lily leaves, and was regarded as a symbol of fertility in ancient Indian civilization. The pod shape of compass grass (silphium) is also very similar to the shape of a heart. In ancient Roman times, this plant was used as an aphrodisiac, so it may also be one of the sources of the modern heart shape. The earliest work to use the heart-shaped symbol to represent the heart is the 13th-century French love story "Le Roman de la Poire" (Le Roman de la Poire). Later, with the popularity of playing cards, the heart-shaped symbol representing hearts also became more popular. By the 17th century, the heart-shaped symbol had completely become synonymous with the heart and also a symbol of love. Perhaps because of its easily identifiable, replicable and endearing nature, the heart shape has never disappeared from women’s fashion since the 18th century. In the 18th century, court ladies would cut silk into the shape of hearts and paste them on their faces to emphasize their facial features. In the 19th century, after printers began selling Valentine's Day cards, hearts immediately became the symbol of Valentine's Day.
