What does it mean to send the comb and the mirror together?
Send a comb: I hope the comb can take away your troubles and bring my heartfelt blessing. Send the mirror: I hope that you in the mirror will always be as young as you in front of the mirror! And the comb also represents love: tying the hair with one heart and one mind and combing it as a gift. In ancient China, sending a comb had the meaning of private subscription for life and growing old together. In ancient times, women had the custom of combing their hair by their families before marriage. The so-called "one comb to the end, two combs of white hair, Qi Mei, three combs of grandchildren" not only contains the good wishes of family members, but also conveys their love. So many places have the custom of sending combs on Tanabata. Nowadays, the meaning of sending a comb is more abundant, including "smooth" hair, making a fortune smoothly, bringing good luck to someone and so on. There is also a saying that the wife is compared to a comb. When the husband is confused, he should use this "comb" to comb.
