Hairpin is a kind of jewelry composed of two hairpins. It is used to fix the hair, and it is also used to fix the hat on the hair. Notes on Chai Zi in Ancient and Modern China in the Five Dynasties: "Chai Zi covered the ancient monument. In Qin Mugong, it was made of ivory, and the king was awarded the honor of tortoise shell. At the beginning, the emperor was also made of gold and silver as a phoenix head, tortoise shell as a phoenix foot, and posthumous title as a phoenix hairpin. "
Hairpins were popular in the late Western Han Dynasty. Since then, it has been one of the main headdresses for women in China.
Second, the origin of shaking step
The concept of walking and shaking existed in the Han Dynasty. However, it was placed within the scope of a piece of clothing from the beginning. According to the Han system, the first dress in the sacrificial clothing of Empress Dowager Tai and Empress Dowager Tai is "sword _ _, hairpin, ear _ hanging beads, hairpin _ _ _, one foot long, and it is a phoenix princess with jade. Use a _ knot. "
Buyao is a traditional jewelry in China. Its shape and texture are symbols of rank and status. After the Han Dynasty, Buyao was gradually seen by the people, and only then did it have the opportunity to spread widely in society.
It can be seen from China's traditional everlasting regret that "the clouds of her hair, the petals on her cheeks, and the golden ripples on her crown when she moves are covered by warm hibiscus curtains in the Spring Festival Evening", in the Tang Dynasty, Buyao has given up the traditional attachment to hats and directly acted on her hair, appearing in accessories for daily makeup.
Generally, there are wing-shaped flakes or tassel pendants hanging down. In ancient China, women lightly moved the lotus step, and the tassel gold ornaments swayed accordingly. Watch more gentle and dignified musical instruments. Among aristocratic women, there is also a period of "stepping on the crown" added to the crown. Wearing it on your head is more luxurious than walking.
Third, the origin of hairpins
Starting from this week, women in China will be called "Fu" at the age of fifteen and can get married. If they don't get married, they will also hold gifts when they are 20 years old. Women will help to comb a bun and add a blessing. Cue is what we will talk about later.
The original hairpin didn't have fringed pendants or anything like that. It's just a simple wooden stick with a tapering end. The more exquisite ones will carve patterns or patterns on the thick ones. Later, out of the pursuit of beauty, people will inlay gems and beads on it to increase decoration, and then gradually blur the boundaries as they walk. Now it has become a generalized hairpin.
Fourth, the difference between hairpins and walking.
Hairpins are the most basic tools for fixing and decorating women's hairstyles in ancient times. The change of hairpins is mainly in the patterns and patterns of hairpins, which are usually the same. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called "Bang" (1 Ji), but they are the same. The styles of hairpins left over from history are very rich, and the main changes are concentrated at the top of hairpins.
Hairpins are used to insert hair. Hairpins are double-stranded, which has a better fixing effect and can be inserted horizontally, vertically and obliquely.
Tap dance is developed from hairpins and hairpins. When this kind of jewelry walks, the beads and jade on it will naturally shake with the shaking of the body, so it is called walking.
Step shake and hair clasp are jewelry used to fix and decorate hair. To put it simply, there is a tassel pendant in the step shake, and the hair clasp is a separate hair clasp.
On the hairpins, a step shake was developed and some decorations were added. It is usually necessary to weave branches with gold and silver silk first, and then decorate them with different ornaments and jewels, so that when wearing them, the ornaments can naturally hang down and be inserted into the hairstyle.
