Ear piercing tradition

Nowadays, the harsh wind is quietly blowing back to women. In the eyes of many young women, it is not surprising that colorful brocade is wrapped around them. If you don't have a pair of earrings on your ears, you won't show your noble status. But in fact, in ancient times, wearing earrings and rings was only a sign of "humble people". Tian Yiheng, a man of Amin Dynasty, said in the book "Keeping Youth for the Sky": "Wearing earrings and ears is a matter for humble people." This passage clearly tells us that piercing ears and rings was not originally made by aristocratic women. This should also start from the reasons for piercing ears.

Ear piercing is not meant for decoration, but for warning. This was originally the custom of brotherly nations. Because some women are too active to live, some people think of punching a hole in their ears and hanging an ear bead to remind themselves to behave and be cautious. Later, it spread to the Central Plains and was accepted by the Han people, so it became the custom of the Han people.

According to historical records, women at that time were not as keen on getting their ears pierced as they are today, but were completely forced to do so. Girls often go through this before 10. At that time, the mother or other elders would grind rice grains repeatedly on the earlobe to numb them, and then pierce them with a needle tip, and pierce a grass or silk thread for a long time to form a small hole. As a mother, we should also educate our children to be a well-behaved woman. In some areas, girls just turned three or four, so they have to get their ears pierced. Some people in history have raised objections to this, thinking that children are innocent and it is unkind and unfair to let them suffer so much; However, some people disagree. In the words of Three Kingdoms Zhuge Ke, "Mother is a woman, and love is endless. What is the harm to benevolence? " After a long time, wearing ears and rings has become a trend.
