Head ornament

Men and women will wear braids on their heads until they reach adulthood or get married.

Adult unmarried women and ordinary maids (wives) and official maids (such as Bazhi and medical women) tie their hair behind their heads and tie it up with a thick belt called Tang Zhi (most Koreans in ancient times married early, and most of them got married before the legal age).
