People always put nose rings on cows. Why? How did you put it on?

According to legend, in ancient times, people found that cows were stronger, but they were difficult to tame (so there was a stubborn saying), and horses of the same size could be controlled by reins.

But cows can't. Later, it was found that cows, like horses, had foreign bodies in their nostrils, which made them uncomfortable. Their nostrils were so big that they tied the rope that hit their noses directly in their nostrils, and later they evolved into nose rings.

Method:

First find a tree with branches, put the cow's head on the maid's mouth, and tie the horn to two branches to fix it. Hold the cow's nose, quickly pierce the nasal septum with a special sharp weapon, and put on the nose ring prepared in advance. Then apply tincture of iodine and antiseptic ointment (such as fish grease) to the wound.

Cows wear nose rings: spring and autumn. ?

We can clearly see it on the nose of the bronze bull statue (also known as the sacrificial statue) in the Spring and Autumn Period. Niu Zun, unearthed in Hunyuan, Shanxi, has a prominent nose and a ring, which is exaggerated and true. This is obvious physical evidence.

On the colored brick of Wei and Jin tombs in Jiayuguan suburb of Gansu Province, there is a colorful picture of a cow. A farmer is holding a rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to the ring of the cow's nose. The surgical scene is very vivid.
