The origin of earrings

"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 shine forever through time and space.

"The origin of earrings", there are mainly the following statements:

1, wearing earrings is related to ancient superstitions. Legendary demons and other demon spirits always want to enter the human body and seize it. Therefore, all possible loopholes in the human body should be specially guarded against. And earrings are worn on your ears, lucky guy.

2. In ancient China, ear piercings and rings were once the symbols of "lowly people". The book "Liu Qing Ri Za" in the Ming Dynasty said: "It is a humble thing to wear earrings or not." The original intention of piercing ears is not decoration, but a warning. This was originally the custom of brotherly nations. Because some women are too active to live, some people think of punching a hole in their ears and hanging an ear bead to remind themselves to behave 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 forced to do so. 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 earlobe is a symbol of beauty. Girls have had their ears pierced since childhood, and as they get older, earrings become heavier and heavier. Make the earlobe 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 pull down the earlobe, make it longer, and the person opposite will become more intelligent.

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 homosexuality, and there are many argots, such as wearing earrings on their left ear for homosexuality 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, and "earrings are not surprising."

Nowadays, the upper class has gradually accepted men wearing earrings. For example, when super professional athletes sign high-paying contracts, they will openly decorate their earlobes with a shiny diamond. This seems to prove that men have the right to dress like women.
