It is reported that the ring originated from the ancient court of China. Women wear rings to commemorate things, and rings are signs of "prohibition" and "prohibition". At that time, the 72 concubines of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards were all seen by the emperor in the harem. The eunuch wrote down the date when she accompanied the king and put a silver ring on her right hand as a symbol. When the concubine was pregnant, she asked the eunuch to put a gold ring on her left hand to show abstinence.
When the ring is spread to the people, its function is not only a simple ornament, but also evidence that men and women love each other, give each other gifts, and swear by each other. It originated from practicality, and then gradually turned to the unity of aesthetics and wealth, and was gradually endowed with different cultural meanings.

It is this common ornament, but people seem to have little research on it, only scattered in books on clothing and customs.
