Nowadays, young girls wear all kinds of earrings, which look beautiful and handsome, but do you know where the custom of wearing earrings came from?

Here is another interesting story. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a girl who suffered from eye diseases and soon became blind. Later, she was lucky enough to meet a famous doctor who thought she could see again. With the consent of the girl, she picked up a shiny silver needle and stabbed one in each earlobe on both sides. A miracle happened and the girl saw the light again. The girl was very grateful, so she asked the silversmith to forge a pair of earrings and put them on her ears to show that she would never forget the kindness of the famous doctor. When the girl wears silver earrings, she becomes more and more beautiful and tells everyone the reputation of a famous doctor. After the miracle that piercing ears and wearing rings can improve eyesight spread one after another, many rich girls and women have pierced ears and worn rings one after another, which has spread to this day and become a symbol of aristocratic status.

Its scientific principle is based on an "auricular acupuncture therapy" in ancient medicine in China, that is, small fine needles, intradermal needles or other methods are used to treat diseases. Modern medicine has proved that there are acupoints in the middle of the earlobe, and stimulating it has a good effect on protecting vision and preventing and treating many eye diseases such as sty, acute conjunctivitis, senile cataract and central retinitis. , especially for myopia.
