In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Qing Ri Za said: "Women wear earrings to cover their ears, which has existed since ancient times." The most primitive bridal earrings are forced to be worn by men when they get married in order to express their feelings of male chauvinism. They are a symbol of inferiority and weakness, and an insulting symbol of the feudal backward society at that time, which favored boys over girls and warned women to keep women's morals. Earrings are not a good thing under the patriarchal social system.
In some places, it is a good wish to wear earrings when getting married. They think that earrings can help the bride prevent diseases from invading her body, which is a kind of "luck" given by God. Wearing earrings can drive away bad luck, keep fit and avoid the interference of evil things. At the same time, many places think that wearing earrings has the effect of being a prosperous husband, which has unique help in ancestor worship and getting ahead. Therefore, when getting married in ancient times, the bride would wear a pair of earrings in order to get better and better after marriage.
In terms of earring production and style, ancient bride earrings also have complete wearing rules. When you get married, you usually choose earrings made of gold and silver. Due to the underdeveloped technology in ancient times, the hollowing, winding and polishing of earrings are generally done by hand, which takes a long time and usually costs a lot.
With the development and progress of the times, a pearl element is added to the earrings, and a big round white pearl is hung on the earrings, which is noble and elegant. Later, gem earrings appeared in the market, with diverse styles and colorful colors. In wearing earrings, traditional earrings are different from today's earrings, only a long and pointed hook is hung on the ear hole.
Although there are not so many choices in the styles of ancient bride earrings, its exquisite winding fine silver thread design, simple and generous hook design and rich and free color matching are all eye-catching, which will release the luxury and nobility of wearing.
