Do you know that there are so many details on the back of the hairpin when you wear Hanfu?

Hairpins, also known as hairpins, are very special things. The ancients thought it was impolite to have long hair, so when they went out to meet guests, they would get a suitable hairstyle, and all three thousand troubles were fixed on a hairpin, usually a single lock.

Double-stranded hairpins are "hair clips", which are generally used by women. As the name implies, they are shaped like forks and have decorative effects. In modern times, this hairpin is decorated by various immortals, and there are three or two Bai Meihua on the temples. The charm of the east is instantly presented, which is a rare ray of agarwood in the city and has a long aftertaste.

Besides gold, there are jade, bamboo, ceramics, bones, teeth and so on. There is also a kind of "essence" which is also a common hair clasp material. Women's simple clothes are a metaphor for women's hairpins, while Jin Chai, on the other hand, refers to noble women.

There are two types of hair clips. One is a practical hair clip, which is used to fix hair style and hairstyle, and the other is used as decoration. They will choose expensive and beautiful materials and carve them into exquisite hairpins, which are specially decorated in the conspicuous position of fixed hairstyles. As can be seen from many pictures of ancient ladies, hair pins are one of the best jewels on women's heads.

The hairpin itself has a beautiful meaning. When a man gives a woman a hairpin, he means to marry a woman as his first wife. Express your feelings, express your heart. There are also many hair clips made into handicrafts, such as "Peace for Boys" hair clips.

As far away as the palace, the hairpin worn by concubines is seasonal, with gold hairpin in spring and summer, and other people wearing jade hairpin didn't change into gold hairpin until beginning of winter, which was recorded in the late Qing Dynasty.

Folk, generally speaking, the rich use jade and silver, the poor use bones, and ordinary girls will definitely have silver hair clips. Women cherish this precious commemorative item, many of which will never be lost or destroyed in their lifetime. But obviously, most of it is bones, and people call it "bone hairpin"

Hairpins are all tapered at the head, and the tail is carved as decoration or has a knot in one's heart, which is convenient for fixing. There is also a kind of hairpin that is flat, with thick ends and thin middle, mostly made of silver and copper, which is used for decoration and is an indispensable ornament for girls to modify their hair.

Hairpins have flourished for thousands of years and still appear on many women today, which is the embodiment of their practicality, decoration and implication.
