Where did the earrings come from?

If earrings are just for decoration, their cultural connotation is weak and it is difficult to get people's attention, so they cannot be passed down from ancient times to the present. According to archaeological discoveries, the origin of earrings has a history of more than 3000 years. In the war between primitive tribes, all captured prisoners were put on ears and rings, and men, women and children were taken to be slaves. Piercing ears and rings is a punishment, a symbol of slaves and a commandment of slave owners. It is stipulated that slaves should not run away, obey orders from others, or take off their earrings privately by piercing their ears or wearing rings. It is a common phenomenon that little slaves born in slave marriage wear ears and rings, and the custom of wearing rings has continued to this day.

Throughout the ages, it is a humanistic custom for women to wear earrings, and it is also an important form of female decorative beauty. China is like this, and so is the world. Earrings can not only make women elegant and charming, but also play a symbolic warning role. Women should have their own dignity, their ears should not listen to other people's slanders, and they should not be biased, otherwise their virtue will be affected and the confusing consequences will be very serious. Do things with your eyes and ears, distinguish right from wrong, keep your own opinions and be a clear-headed woman.

Other people who wear rings moved to the Central Plains, changing the meaning of wearing rings. Wearing rings is to show health and beauty. At that time, the upper-middle class people were brave and masculine when they saw men wearing earrings. Women wearing earrings are exquisite and charming. It is also found that people who wear ears and rings are not only physically strong, but also have good eyesight when they are old. Therefore, women compete to follow suit and use the value of earrings to compare and show off; Distinguish one's identity and status through the material and style of earrings. With the continuous development of society, people's appreciation of earrings is getting higher and higher, and various styles come into being. All kinds of wearing pressures push the beauty of decoration to a considerable height.

Although the meaning of wearing earrings has changed many times, in any case, it has not been diluted by the torrent of history and still maintains its original charm. With a history of more than 3,000 years, earrings have been integrated into China culture, and together with China culture with a long history, they have become a beautiful landscape.
