Chinese Traditional earrings are of various types, both decorative and ceremonial, and have been an indispensable part of people's decorations since ancient times.   The popularity of Chinese Traditional Earrings The first appearance of earrings can be traced back to the Neolithic period. At that time, people's craftsmanship was limited to a certain extent, so earrings were usually in the shape of simple rings with notches and were called "Jue (玦)", mostly made of jade, but also bone, stone, agate, and ivory. Later, with the development of dynasties and civilizations, earrings became richer in style, with different styles such as earrings, earrings pendants, and so on. However, earrings have not always been a symbol of beauty in a long history. In ancient China, women's status was far inferior to men's, so people came up with the idea of piercing holes in women's ears and hanging earrings to remind them to act cautiously, in order to restrain their behavior. In the olden days, until a girl was 10 years old, her mother or other elders would repeatedly be grinding with rice grains over the girl's earlobe to numb it, then pierce it with the tip of a needle, and then wear a piece…

In the late Tang Dynasty, the trend of women styling high topknots led to the popularity of hair combs. Initially, women would insert a single comb in front of their topknots, adorned with exquisitely engraved floral patterns. Over time, the number of combs being inserted increased, with two combs placed vertically, one above the other. By the late Tang Dynasty, women in formal attire would place multiple sets of combs both in front and on the sides of their topknots. "Layers of jade cicadas and golden birds, green hairpins towering amidst lush black hair. Combs fall as they dance in the spring breeze, only to be replaced upon return."

Recently, the female characters in the historical drama "The Double" have sparked much discussion with their pearl makeup. Not only do their hair accessories feature pearls, but their faces are adorned with numerous pearls, too, placed on their foreheads, cheeks, and corners of their mouths.
