It is generally believed that armor storage represents the separation from production and has the effect of showing one's identity without work. Therefore, both men and women in the Qing Dynasty had the habit of storing armor.
By the way, fingernails were placed in the Qing palace, probably in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Queen Xiaozhuang Wen should have never used fingernails.
Specifically, the texture of the nail cover is generally metal or tortoise shell, and very few are jade. Metals include gold, silver, copper and silver-plated gold. , either on the ground or hollowed out, and tortoise shell texture is mostly on the ground. Whether it is metal or tortoise shell, except for a few plain land, most of them are inlaid with jewels or decorated with green touch. The diameter and length of the nail sleeve are also different as required. The longest nail sleeve seen in the object can reach 15cm or longer, while the shortest nail sleeve is only 3cm.
It should be noted that the nail sleeve is generally a set of two pieces, worn on the four fingers and five fingers. This is because, from a reasonable point of view, if you want your fingers to keep the basic ability to hold things, you should at least keep the first three fingers free. According to the statistics of photos in the late Qing Dynasty, almost all the records of using nail covers are worn on the ring finger and little finger of the left or right hand, and no abnormality has been found so far.
In some Qing Dynasty dramas, it is wrong to expect women to keep nails on all five fingers.
In addition, the nail sleeve is not decorated according to the requirements of the SARS system, so there is no saying that who can wear it and who can't, and there is no saying of "grade", which is quite free.
