history

Hairpins are essential jewelry for Han women to comb all kinds of hairstyles. Usually, Han women like to decorate their hair bun with big earplugs, small earplugs, bead chains, sideburns, hair bun and dragon heads made of precious materials such as gold, silver, pearl jade, agate and coral. Although there are many kinds of hair clips, the choice should be based on everyone's conditions and identity. For example, before the People's Pass, Fujin in Nurhachi and Fujin and Gege in Baylor used Dongzhu as the best material for making hair accessories. After 200 years, it was gradually replaced by Hepu Pearl Nanzhu.

Compared with pearls, gold and jade are superior materials, such as gold-plated, silver-plated or copper, as well as precious stones, jadeite and coral ivory. They are made into various hairpin ornaments and decorated on the bun, which is much simpler than after entering the customs. After entering the customs, influenced by the headdress of Han women, Han women, especially court women, paid more attention to hairpin ornaments. For example, in the 16th year of Qianlong (175 1), when Emperor Qianlong celebrated his mother's 60th birthday, only the names of all kinds of women were jaw-dropping. For example, everything went well, Mei Caiying was the winner, Jingfu was buried in her sleep, and Riyongqin wrote a woman. These hair clips are undoubtedly the top grade of materials and production.

Judging from the hairpin ornaments left by empresses in Qing Dynasty, there are two kinds of hairpin. One is a practical hairpin, which is mostly used to fix the bun and head shape. The other is a decorative hairpin, which is made of precious materials with exquisite patterns and is specially used to comb the bun and wear it in an obvious position. Many realistic palace paintings collected in the Forbidden City now depict queens wearing hairpins. From the picture, some of them put the hairpin in the middle of the bun, and some inserted it obliquely at the root of the bun. Empresses' heads are full of jewels, but their hairpins are the best. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, empresses and concubines were all made of jade jewelry, and their production techniques were also very particular. It is often the most precious to make a hairpin with a whole piece of jade, coral crystal or ivory. For example, the white jade in the Forbidden City in Beijing is made of a pure suet white jade, and the hairpin is the last stroke of the birth word. Similarly carved jade plate sausage hairpin and coral bat hairpin are excellent works of hairpin decoration. In addition, there are Jin Fu Qian Guan, Magpie Hairpin, Five Bats Shoushou Hairpin and so on. , with its exquisite carving and exquisite and eye-catching. There is also a kind of head hairpin inlaid with various pearls and gems on a gold base, which is mostly composed of a head and a pin, but it still has a sense of wealth and luxury. With the gradual widening of the hairstyle of the empress in Qing Dynasty, the modeling of hairpin ornaments has gradually developed to two extremes. One is that the hairpin head gradually becomes smaller, such as pimple needle, ear-digging spoon and old crow spoon. The other is that the hairpin ornaments are getting bigger and bigger, which are not only suitable for Han women to comb two heads and cover, but also gradually evolve into headdresses, flat squares and other big jewelry.
