What is the "flat" headdress of Manchu women?

Among Manchu people, there is a kind of big square, which is Manchu metal craft, commonly known as "Manchu hairpin", which is a symbol of women's adulthood, mostly made of silver and copper. When it is used, it is across the hair, indicating that women have entered adulthood. The women's square in the family of princes and nobles is very particular. Besides being made of precious metals, they are also inlaid with jade and jadeite to show their nobility.

As for Bian Fang, a unique headdress for Manchu women, we can see from the description of Mrs. An's headdress in the 20th chapter of the novel Legend of Heroes of Children in Qing Dynasty that "He Yufeng destroyed her filial piety, and Enron repaid her kindness with media service". The article said: "I saw my wife ... wearing two short heads, a big red head, a big flat head, a pair of three-line Hosta sticks and a small-eared spoon on her head, but she didn't wear it on her head, but stuffed it behind her head." On Cui Hua's left, there are three big gems with needles and nails hanging on them. She still wears them. No matter how many hairpins she wears at this end, it reflects the portrayal of female headdresses in Manchu official families after the middle of Qing Dynasty.
