China ancient tassels.

The so-called tassel is actually an ornament that combines neck ornaments such as collars or necklaces with longevity locks. The upper part of the tassel is usually a metal collar, and all kinds of jewels and jade are hung around the collar; In the chest position close to the human body, an ornament similar to a lock piece is sometimes hung.

In ancient China, tassels were sometimes used as synonyms for collars or longevity locks. There is an example in A Dream of Red Mansions. For example, in the eighth time in the book, it is written that Jia Baoyu is pestering Xue Baochai, and she must see the golden lock hanging around her neck. Baochai can't be pestered by him, because she said, "It was also a man who gave me two auspicious words, which he carries with him every day;" Otherwise, it will be heavy. What's the fun? " As he spoke, he unbuttoned his buttons and took off the glittering golden wreath from the infrared sleeve inside.

Ancient Indian jewelry

Ying Luo, also known as "garland" or "flower flower", is said to be an ancient jewelry. Sanskrit calls it "Luo Zhipin". In the local area, both men and women like to wear flowers together as headdresses, or hang them around their necks and chests. This garland-like neck ornament is sometimes hung on the Buddha statue. With the introduction of Buddhism, this custom of decoration also spread to China, and I also wore tassels on the artistic images of Buddhism in China (such as murals, sculptures and stone carvings). The style of tassel is very complicated: it is often based on the neck ornaments, which are hung with all kinds of treasures, from the neck to the chest, and some even hang down to the ankles. Exquisite is also connected with the arm ornament, which becomes an ornament hanging all over the body. Some people are inspired by the Buddha statue and imitate it, thus forming a new decorative custom. According to the literature, the earliest people who wore this kind of ornaments were mainly concentrated in ethnic minority areas, which were recorded in history books such as Heather and Liang Shu.

History of wearing tassels

It was after the Northern Dynasties that Han people wore tassels, which were generally seen in maiko and waitress in the court. The tassels worn by waitresses are often simple in shape, while the tassels worn by dancers are more complicated, not only with exquisite styles, but also with rich pearls and jade. Qin Shihuang, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once described this situation in one of his poems "Jinyang Gate": During the emperor's birthday celebration, many famous prostitutes wore nine-riding fairy buns, peacock jade clothes and seven treasures to perform songs and dances, and the pearls and gems that fell on the ground could be swept away with a broom. Although this is from the poet's words, it is inevitable to be exaggerated, but we can also see the fashion at that time.
