Do girls accept boys' hairpins?

Not so good. Because hair clips have special significance as personal items, if they are given casually, they will be misunderstood and offended. In the past, when young men and women in rural areas got engaged, the man would give the woman a hairpin. After the woman accepts the hairpin, it proves that they are married, and the girl will go to the boy. Without special circumstances, the relationship between husband and wife will not change. Now it seems that there is no such thing as young men and women in rural areas getting engaged to send hairpins.
