How were earrings invented in history, and why were they originally designed to prevent women from cheating?

The invention of earrings has many origins, the most famous of which is to prevent women from cheating, but there is also a saying that ghosts and gods are driven away.

Earrings were originally named "Jun". In ancient times, women's loyalty and moral integrity were very important. It is a great shame if a man is betrayed by a woman, but in ancient times, men had to earn money to support their families. Run away from home, fight, or do business to make money. Once they have been away for a long time, some women can't stand loneliness, don't obey women's manners, and thus do something out of line. Put earrings on a woman. When she has the idea of cheating, the earrings will jingle to wake her up and let her get rid of such thoughts.
