Its name is Bian Fang, commonly known as "flag head". Another meaning of "flag head" refers to several hairstyles with distinctive national characteristics and unique charm commonly used by Manchu women, such as "Ertou", "Water hyacinth", "Swallowtail", "Big wings", "High head", "Shelf head", "Front bangs" and "Pan head wings". Flat square is the main jewelry of Manchu women when combing their hair. In the article "The Life of the Noble in the Late Qing Dynasty" written by Yun, he said: "Manchu women generally comb their heads with two heads, and the style is simple. They are all' flat' and really hold jade or jade. " A square like a hair crown inserted horizontally on a bun, 32 to 33.5 cm long, 4 cm wide and 0.2 to 0.3 cm thick. It is ruler-shaped, with a semicircle at one end and a scroll at the other. For example, a disguised horizontal hairpin, whether combing two heads or pulling wings, plays the role of a "beam" connecting the true and false bun. The function of the flat square is similar to the long hairpin used by ancient men to tie their hair. Perhaps the flat square evolved from this. The texture of the square is mostly white jade and sapphire, and a few are gold and silver products. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Manchu aristocratic women became popular with "flag head", also known as "flag head board" and "big wing pulling". It is based on the bun on the top of the head and the flag is placed on it. The flag head is similar to what we saw on the stage. It is a flat crown supported by an iron frame, covered with blue velvet or blue satin, decorated with various gems on the front and tassels hanging on the side. The flag head is developed from the "two heads". Because it became popular after entering the customs, people also called it "Dajingxiang". ?
