Today, a 4,000-year-old Hosta inlaid with turquoise was found in China. This jade hairpin fully embodies the superb technical level and the pursuit of beauty of the working people in ancient China at that time, both in terms of production technology and overall design. Hosta was roughly made in the Longshan culture period more than 4,000 years ago, and various techniques such as hollowing out, lettering and inlaying were adopted. The details of the hair clasp are very clear, and turquoise embellishes them, making the hair clasp more beautiful and lively, which makes people feel amazing. Hosta of Longshan culture is just the tip of the iceberg of Chinese jewelry making. In the long history of China, there are other exquisite jewels that people will never forget.

China's hairpin manufacturing technology has experienced a long evolution. By the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of hairpin making techniques reached the peak of development, and both design and technology were amazing. The hairpins in the Tang Dynasty are quite round. The picture below shows the hairpins of the Dark Eight Immortals in the Tang Dynasty. Hairpins are made of silver. They are made by the process of silverware molding, which is the early representative of this technology. The two ends of the hairpin are engraved with the Eight Immortals in China folklore. In addition, the hairpin is decorated with auspicious clouds and flowers, with smooth lines and full patterns.

The Song Dynasty can be said to be the pinnacle of China's aesthetics. The rise of the civil class made people have a higher pursuit of life and beauty, but at the same time, the Song Dynasty paid attention to thrift. The development of Confucianism, the rise and growth of the literati class and the gradual maturity of the production technology have had a great impact on the production of hair clips. During this period, the styles of hairpins gradually increased, and the carving became more complicated and diverse. The picture below shows the silver-and gold-plated hairpin in the Song Dynasty. Jinsheng is a popular hair style in Song Dynasty. Jinsheng is jewelry made of gold, silver, foil and silk. The winning hairpin in the picture below is made by hollowing out a piece of silver and then gilding it. It has complex patterns and superb skills, and the overall lines are very smooth.
