What does it mean to send hairpin in ancient times?

1, the ancient hairpin is a symbol of women's adulthood and is called a gift. It is also a symbol of men's love for women. Generally, when a man gives a woman a hairpin, he must love each other very much. Sending a hairpin means that he wants to marry her. When you grow up, I will arrange your hair with the car, and you will move to my house with your dowry.

In addition, in the ancient wedding ceremony, on the wedding night, two newlyweds each cut off a lock of their own hair, and then twisted the two locks together as a token of their eternal knot, so it was called a knot. For example, Chen Menglei's poem "Grass on the Green Side" in the Qing Dynasty: "Knots and gentlemen know each other, and they must die." So this hairpin is the same, indicating that men are faithful to love. As long as women are determined to be original, this traditional meaning has continued to this day.
