Where did the earrings come from?

Earrings were not for beauty at first, and even a little dramatic. In the past, ear piercing was not for beauty, but for "lowly people" to play a warning role.

At first, this was the custom of brotherly peoples. For some women who lead a disorderly life, someone came up with the idea of wearing a tie on their ears to remind them.

Later, when it spread to the Central Plains, it became a custom of the Han people. According to some historical records, women at that time were forced rather than voluntary, but some people disagreed. Wearing earrings gradually formed an atmosphere and gradually became popular.
