Hairpin is a kind of jewelry. Why does it represent fame and fortune?

When we watch film and television works, we will find that ancient ministers always hold a board in their hands when they go to court. This board is called water. It is used to record the important things that the court said. Now that I have a board, how to write it? So at this time, a pen appeared, that is, the pen was inserted into the tied hair. Therefore, bamboo poles are white boards and pens, which were used exclusively by ancient officials. People also use this to show that someone in the family is an official and will be rich and famous in the future.

First, the history of water can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, which also shows that water has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. There is a saying in history that many people in prominent families are big officials. Sometimes, when an official comes back from the imperial court, he throws the water used by the imperial court on the bed and finds that the bed is full of water, from which it can be concluded that the family background is very rich. In film and television works, we only see that ministers want to take them to court. In fact, when they meet the emperor or the court alone, they have to hold water in their hands.

Second, The Water Margin records a story about Daofu Kong in the Song Dynasty. It is said that Daofu Kong is a descendant of Confucius. He was an official in Quanzhou. One day, a poisonous snake came out of the Tianqing Temple in Quanzhou. People around thought the snake was a divine arrival, so they took officials to worship the snake and even reported it to the court. When people were ready to kneel down and worship, Daofu Kong came over. He took out water from his waist and hit the snake head with it. People around us were very frightened, but after reading it, nothing unusual happened, and they were all surprised by Daofu Kong's courage. It can also be seen that Watanabe was carried by officials.

Although these things no longer exist in modern society, this custom of recording the contents of meetings has continued to this day.
