Where did the Hosta inlaid with turquoise come from in Longshan culture? How wonderful is the hairpin 4000 years ago?

Longshan culture inlaid with turquoise Hosta was unearthed at the site of West Zhu Feng in Linqu County, Shandong Province around 2000 BC. It has a history of 4000 years, and this design and this technology are all shining now. We always talk about cultural confidence. How can we not be confident when we see such works? Isn't this kind of work more cultural and historical than some so-called antique jewels? It's really amazing. It is longer than the history of some countries. I hope some country will steal it again.

Ancient aristocratic women and hairpins, like men's crowns, were a grand rite of passage. If a woman has promised to get married, she can reach the age of 15. If not, she can wait until she is 20. It can be seen that from the day it appeared, it was destined to walk with the United States. Because there were many robes in ancient times that took off their coats, aesthetics did not pay attention to figure as it does now, but paid more attention to hair, face, facial features and so on. Therefore, the noble beauties tirelessly pursue the beauty of jade ornaments, leaving poems such as "When the window is in charge of clouds, the mirror is painted yellow", "The garland of clouds, the temples follow the golden steps, and the Spring Festival Evening is covered by the warm curtain of hibiscus".

An unimaginable combination of Hosta. Hosta appeared in the Neolithic Age and was very beautiful. The picture below shows the Neolithic Longshan culture bamboo-shaped composite Hosta unearthed from the West Zhu Feng site in Linqu, Shandong Province, with a total length of 23cm, of which the hairpin is 9cm long, 4.5cm wide, 0.4cm thick and19.5cm long.

The head of Hosta Hosta is a fan-shaped plate with symmetrical carving patterns, and there are negative lines carving patterns between carving holes. There are crown-shaped carving holes in the middle and lower part, with different shapes of eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, wing-shaped ears at both ends, and four round turquoise inlaid on the left and right earlobes.

Both sides of the bottom of the Hosta head are polished into rectangular concave surfaces under the nose, and there are small circular holes on both sides of the groove for binding and reinforcement. The hairpin body is in the shape of an oblate bamboo, and one end is provided with a slot for inserting the hairpin head.

An unimaginable number of Hosta queens. At present, the most archaeological site of Hosta is the tomb of Fu Hao in Yin Ruins. Fu Hao, as a queen and female general in the late Shang Dynasty, was almost obsessed with hairpin. Her tomb unearthed 28 jade hairpin, 2 turquoise hairpin, one fine bone turquoise hairpin 1 piece and 499 bone hairpin.
