Earrings, also known as earrings, are ornaments worn in the ears, which were also called ears and jun in ancient times. Most earrings are made of metal, and some may be made of stone, wood or other similar hard materials. Earrings can be made of metal, plastic, glass, precious stones and other materials. Some are round, some are hanging, and some are granular.

Pendants earrings pendants can be found in many ancient and modern places and cultures around the world. In many cultures, there is a custom of piercing newborn girls' ears, which is controversial, because piercing ears is not the baby's will.

Earrings are ornaments made of metal or jade and worn on earlobes. Earrings worn on the earlobe. Rich in shapes, mainly worn by women, but also by some men. There are usually three ways to wear it: ear piercing; Clamp the earlobe with a reed; Or fixed with screws. Generally made of gold and silver, there are also pendants inlaid with bead jade or hanging bead jade. Earrings made of plastic, marble, ceramics and other materials are also very popular in modern times, and are generally matched with clothing. Earrings can show some customs, beliefs, status, wealth and so on to a certain extent.

Reasons for wearing earrings: There are different opinions about the origin of wearing earrings. Some people think that it originated from the metal earmuffs used by the northern nationalities to keep out the cold and wind, but there are two more credible statements. The first one thinks that earrings and earrings are the products of people's pursuit of beauty; Another way of saying it is that earrings and earrings first appeared for medical purposes. The first statement is easy to understand, and it goes without saying; The second statement is also reasonable from the perspective of modern medicine, because the earlobe wearing earrings is just the acupoint of the eye. Therefore, wearing earrings and earrings can help protect eyesight and prevent eye diseases, especially myopia.

The ancient books were recorded in Shi's Astrology, but they were later lost. There is a detailed record in the chapter of the existing Japanese book Witch and Sincere Heir: Wang Fu needs four images to benefit her husband. In ancient times, there was a saying that "Suzaku Xuanwu combines yin and yang". For example, Wang Fu needs to bring an orange stone bracelet to achieve harmony between Yin and Yang, and then she should add a seal to the seal book according to her husband's birthday. Those born between June and August of the lunar calendar need to add three seals: "Bamboo Feng Dan, Yue Yun Dancing Crane and Fusang Umbrella". Born between September and 1 1 in the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals of "Otonashi Kyoko, Yun Song, Five Tones Divide Gold". Those born between February and February of the 65438 lunar calendar need to add three seals of "bamboo finch, boat and thin". Ancient people thought that this kind of gold in the sand could solve her husband's disaster. Earrings with blue velvet crystals can achieve something: According to Li Feng's Astronomy Records in the Tang Dynasty, to achieve something, women need to bring purple ice silver with blue velvet crystals and men need to bring red bamboo ornaments. After that, you need to ask the master of Yin and Yang Daoism to make a stone tablet amulet with "shadow stone, beeswax stone, red scale stone, rose gold and body salt" and put it beside you, and print it on the album according to the lunar birthday: those born in March to May of the lunar calendar need to print three seals: "wooden coin, round fan and". Born from June to August in the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals of "Fusang umbrella, 20% ice plum and 100 mu well". Born from September to 1 1 month of the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals of "Bamboo Feng Dan, Xicheng and Yuxin". Born in the lunar calendar 12 to February, you need to add three seals of "Five Tones Divide Gold, Feather Heart and Zhou Zhou Baba". The combination of ornaments, stone tablets, amulets and printed books, the "three talents feng shui bureau" in folk feng shui, can make a prosperous career and a prosperous fortune, and both are indispensable.

"Earrings" have a long history. From ancient times to the present, from divination to ward off evil spirits, from pursuing wisdom to chasing fashion, from controlling' humble slaves' to fashionable women to fashionable men, earrings have gone through years, spanning time and space, and constantly emitting eternal light. The Origin of Earrings mainly has the following statements: 1. Wearing earrings is related to ancient mystery. Legendary demons and other demon spirits always want to enter and seize the human body, so all possible loopholes in the human body should be specially guarded against. Earrings are lucky one's. 2. In ancient China, having your ears pierced and wearing a ring was once a sign of "humble people". The book Liu Qing Ri Za in the Ming Dynasty said: "It is a thing for humble people to wear earrings and ears, which has existed since ancient times." The original intention of piercing ears is not decoration, but a warning. This was originally the custom of brothers and people, because some women were too active to stay for a long time, so some people thought of punching holes in their ears and hanging ear beads to remind them to behave themselves and be cautious. Later, it gradually became a custom of the Han people. But at that time, women were not as keen on getting their ears pierced as women are now, but were in a forced position. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, due to the rise of ethical code, the trend of female ear piercing was unprecedented. Not to mention ordinary women, even the queen and concubines are no exception. After a long time, wearing ears and rings has become a trend. In some tribes in the world, the long-eared pendant is a symbol of beauty. Girls have had their ears pierced since childhood, and as they get older, earrings become heavier and heavier. Let the ears hang longer and longer. If the earlobe is unfortunately broken because it can't bear the heavy burden for a long time, all her beauty will be broken at once. For men, ears are the center of wisdom, and smart people must have big ears. Heavy earrings will make the ears droop and lengthen, and the opposite person will become wiser. 4. The man who wore earrings at first was a sailor. They believe that piercing their ears can protect them from drowning. After that, men wearing earrings are not just sailors, because men wearing earrings are considered as a sign of gay love, and there are many argots, such as wearing earrings on their left ear for gay love and earrings on their right ear for bisexuality. With the popularity of rock singers, men wearing earrings have completely lost their sexual significance, but most of them are men at the bottom of society, or trendy people with safety blades and light bulbs hanging on their ears. "Earrings are not amazing and endless." Nowadays, the upper class has gradually accepted men wearing earrings, such as super professional sports. When mobilizing people to sign high-paying contracts, they will openly decorate their ears with a shiny diamond. This seems to prove that men have the right to dress like women.

Nail earrings: the most popular and common one. The needle of the earring passes through the ear hole and is fixed behind the ear with a bracket. Usually use nail earrings when piercing your ears.

Earrings: Beads hung on the ear, usually decorated with a string of jewelry. The length varies, some are only 2 cm under the ear bead, and some can grow to the shoulder. Long hanging earrings, usually used in more grand occasions.

Ring earrings: 360-degree circle with a hole in the middle, which passes through the ear hole. In ancient China, there was a kind of ring earrings made of notched Yuhuan, called Jade Jaw. Some scholars think that Dai Yu's jaw needs a big ear hole, while others think it is clipped on.

Hanging Ear Stud: You don't need to nail the ear hole, just hang it behind your ear. This kind of hanging earrings is becoming more and more popular.

Clip Earrings and Magnet Earrings: For the convenience of people who have not pierced their ears, some round earrings will be designed as clips with ear beads. Granular or nail-shaped earrings can not be designed as clips, so it is necessary to use the characteristics of magnets to clamp the ear beads. Magnet earrings are outer earrings connected with magnets and inner mini magnets with opposite magnetism, and the two magnets firmly clamp the ear beads.

The ancients paid attention to "ears as big as wheels and eyes as big as gods" and to judging people by their appearances. They think that a small earlobe is a symbol of unhappiness.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, except the northern minorities, Han women began to wear earrings, and earrings in this period were often unearthed. For example, a pair unearthed from the Huata site in Dingxian County, Hebei Province, has gold bars on the upper part and gold wires on the lower part. Five round gold nuggets decorated with precious stones are hung at both ends of the column, and five balls are hung in the middle. In the lower half of the column, there are also six gold chains hanging from the lower half of each chain. Women in the Tang Dynasty hardly wore earrings because they didn't. Women in Song Dynasty prefer to wear earrings rather than earrings. Earrings in this period are rarely seen in kind.

Women in Ming Dynasty wore earrings as well as earrings. There are many kinds of earrings recorded in Tianshui Iceberg Record, including "Jinleisi Lantern Earrings", "Jinyu Shouzi Earrings", "Golden Box Cat Eye Earrings", "Golden Folding Silk Pavilion Earrings" and "Jinbao Pipa Earrings". Many earrings are also mentioned in Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci, but they are only called "pendants" or "Zhui Er". Such as gold Zhui Er, gold lamp pendant, gold inlaid purple English pendant, exquisite Zhui Er, gold inlaid fake blue stone pendant, gem pendant and silver inlaid Zhui Er. Not only the materials are different, but also the shapes are different, which reflects the progress of jewelry making technology at that time. During this period, the earrings unearthed from Ming Shenzong Xiao Duan and Xiaojing Tomb in Dingling, Beijing were the most exquisite. Among them, there are jade rabbit earrings, a standing jade rabbit is decorated under the big gold ring, and the jade rabbit's forelimbs are pestle-like; At the foot of Yutu, there is a cloud made of gold inlaid with precious stones. This is designed and made according to the story of "Jade Rabbit tinkering with medicine" in China folklore. Jade rabbit is regarded as a symbol of the moon, which symbolizes the queen and is the most suitable earrings for the queen.

Women in Qing dynasty also had the fashion of wearing earrings. The sommelier also pays attention to the matching of earrings and clothing colors. Women in wealthy families often have dozens or even hundreds of pairs of earrings, which they choose to use according to different seasons and occasions. The replacement method is simple. Generally, you don't need to replace the earrings, you just need to connect them to them. Among Manchu women, there is also a popular custom of hanging three pendants on one earlobe, which is called "three pliers for one ear". This is an inherent decorative habit of Manchu women. Influenced by the Han nationality, some new women began to wear "one ear and one clip" during the Qianlong period, which even aroused the dissatisfaction of the rulers, because in this way, they lost their unique cosmetic custom. Emperor Qianlong also made a special decree for this matter. He said: "The flag girl has one ear and three pliers. It used to be an old Manchu style. Never change. " I want to see those girls who wear coats and collars. They all wear pendants, one for each ear, but they are not from Manchuria. It is forbidden at once. "This phenomenon has changed because of the intervention of the court. We can see the image of "one ear and three pliers" from the portrait of the Qing Dynasty empress in the Palace Museum. After entering the Republic of China, the Manchu settlement in Northeast China still maintained this custom.

Modern women once abolished ear piercing because they opposed the old feudal ethics. In order to enable women who don't wear ears to use earrings, people invented a new kind of earrings. The upper part of this kind of eardrop is no longer made into a ring, but an arcuate roller made of metal. There are threads on the drum. When wearing, just loosen the roller, put it in the earlobe, and then tighten the roller. This kind of earrings has been handed down from generation to generation.

The earrings in Yuan Dynasty are basically similar to those in Jin Dynasty, and they are also divided into two parts. The hooks in the back are similar to those in Jin Dynasty, and the difference is mainly in the first half, usually agate, white jade or turquoise. This is the style of earrings unearthed from the ancient tomb of Chayouqian Banner in Wulanchabu League, Inner Mongolia. The same is true of the earrings unearthed from the Yuan tomb outside Yuxiangmen, Xi, Shaanxi, except that the decorative part is carved with white jade instead of flowers. The connection between the jade man and the earrings is made of extremely fine gold wire.

Most of the earrings in the Ming Dynasty were flat pressed with gold and silver, and then all kinds of gems were embedded in petals or leaves, and some even embedded a pearl in the middle of the stamen. Earrings unearthed from Yuanming Tomb in Shangxi, Lanzhou, Gansu and Zhaojiabin Tomb in Shanghai belong to this type. Among the women who are keen on chanting, there are also cases in which Buddha statues are decorated on earrings. This kind of earring was unearthed in the Ming Tomb of Taodian Bridge in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Earrings are made of gold, with jade carved Buddha statues on them, and the base of Buddha statues is also made of gold into lotus shapes. At the top of the Buddha statue, there are four pearls inlaid. Although the whole object is not big, only 3 cm high, the face and expression of the Buddha statue are vividly shaped.

Earrings are often recorded in notes of the Ming Dynasty. For example, in The Record of Tianshui Icebergs, Yan Hao's lost things include Jin Shuijing Fairy Earrings, Jindiancui Jewelry Earrings, Pure Gold Square Earrings, Golden Box Four Gems Ancient Money Earrings, Golden Beads, Golden Box Jade Lantern Earrings and so on, and there are dozens of them. Many names of earrings are also mentioned in books such as "Jin Ping Mei Hua Thorn" and "Biography of Awakening Marriage". There is a kind of "clove earrings" which is very distinctive. Lilac is a plant, and its fruit is small and oval. Lilac earrings are made by imitating their shapes. In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of small and exquisite earrings was very popular with women. Whether it is a good family or a small jasper, they all like to wear these earrings. It's just different materials. You use gold and silver, and the poor use copper, tin and jade. Li Yu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once talked about this kind of earrings in his book Suiyuan: "The smaller the earrings, the better, or a bead, or a little gold and silver, commonly worn, commonly known as lilac, and its shape is also simple." In addition to earrings, ancient women also used earrings. Earrings are decorations under earrings. Its upper part is earrings, and the lower part is hung with a set of pendants, which are named after its shape, so it is called "earrings". Earrings also come from different ethnic groups. They were originally used by men, and were introduced to the Central Plains around the Jin and Six Dynasties, and were also adopted by Han women.

The earrings that can be seen at present are even earlier than those unearthed in Zhoujiadi Tomb in Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia. The owner of the grave has thick hair and is covered with linen. When he was unearthed, he wore earrings in both ears, and a copper pendant was tied with a thong under his left earring. According to the analysis of cultural relics workers, this is a Donghu tomb, which was buried in the upper cultural period of Xiajiadian, equivalent to the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, earrings were unearthed from the site of Aruchaideng in Inner Mongolia and the tombs beside Xigou in Zhungeer Banner. For example, a pair of round earrings unearthed in Aruchayiden, the upper part of which is made of gold wire and the lower part is decorated with pendants. The upper part of the pendant consists of turquoise with gold plating at both ends, and a group of triangular gold pieces are hung on the lower part; A pair unearthed in Zhungeer Banner is also very distinctive: its ring has a button, and the pendant under the button is two cones coiled with gold wire, and one of them is also strung with jewelry.

Gold earrings (Shang Dynasty): One of the gold earrings is 7.4 cm long, 6.6 cm wide and 0.04 cm thick, and weighs 10 g; The second one is 7.3 cm long, 5.5 cm wide, 0.03 cm thick and weighs 8 grams. Earrings are flat and spiral, and the hooks are inverted V-shaped, with uniform thickness, smoothness and flatness, and are hammered (this is the most primitive metal forming method, which makes full use of the strong ductility of gold, and is hammered simply without using molds, which is different from the hammering technology that originated in the West and was later introduced to China). This kind of gold earring has been found in Houlanjiagou and Taohuazhuang in shilou county, Shanxi, Xiaxinjiao in Yonghe County and Siyan Village in Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province. This pair of earrings was unearthed in 1982 Chunhua County, Shaanxi Province. Judging from other unearthed cultural relics, they all belong to the same cultural type and are unique cultural relics of the Ghost Party. It shows that the activities of ghost tribes or Fang countries entered the Guanzhong area from northern Shaanxi and other places in the late Shang Dynasty, which is of great significance to the study of the rise and fall of the forces of Shang and Zhou dynasties in Shaanxi Province and their relationship.

Golden Ear Pendant (Warring States Period): 5 cm long, weighing * * * 17.3 g, 1979 Unearthed from No.2 Xiongnu Tomb at Xigoupan, Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia, and kept in Inner Mongolia Museum.

Long earrings are worn by men in Tibetan areas before and after, and they are called "Suo Qi" in Tibetan. In the hinterland of Tibet, men often wear rings and earrings. Vulgar officials and literati of Tibetan local government can identify themselves by wearing earrings.

Women's Earrings (clear installed): total length17cm, width 3.5cm.. This pair of women's earrings, called "Egor" in Tibetan, is mainly made of turquoise and gold as the skeleton, and the visual effect is quite strong.

Hanging in front of the ear shows the innocence and nobility of women and sets off the beauty of women.
