There was no pierced ear gun in ancient times. Do you know how they get their ears pierced?

As women, most of them love beauty. Until now, they still have the saying of "hardware" when they get married (it used to be three gold: ring, earrings and necklace, and later a pair of bracelets were added to make hardware). Anyway, these jewelry are the embodiment of women's love for beauty, and earrings are the only jewelry that will "bleed" here.

At present, I go to the store or buy my own ear piercing gun to pierce my ears, and there is alcohol to relieve the pain. Even so, if our ears are a little fuller, it will still hurt. Of course, some people don't.

The ancients didn't wear ears as casually as we do now, but on a whim. It should be an important day for the ancients to choose a suitable festival to get their ears pierced.

Legend has it that the Jade Sagger written by Xu Zhenren, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, says: "It is an auspicious day for women to wear their ears." But the festivals chosen in different regions are different. "The 20th day of the first month is the day when women wear their ears," wrote the words from the dragon head in the Qing Dynasty. There are other works that say that the Double Ninth Festival is suitable for piercing ears, but people in most areas will choose the "Flower Festival" to pierce ears and wear rings for the young girls at home when the flowers first bloom to show that the young girls have grown up.

It is said that the ancients had a good thing to help them pierce their ears, and that was "lead". Fang Yizhi, a genius in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in his Little Knowledge of Physics: "Those who pierce ears bend lead bars and clip ear meat. After a long time, they will become self-sufficient and lead can enter. " Fang Yizhi said that lead can enter the meat, as long as a lead clip is placed on the ear, and over time, the ear will naturally pass. Although it takes time, it is painless and feasible.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" also said: "Lead can enter the meat, so women wear lead beads, that is, they wear them themselves; Those who are ignorant of real women use lead as a collar, licking it every day and opening it every day. This is all unknown in the past. " It can be seen that this skill discovered by the Ming people is still quite useful.

In fact, in ancient times, pierced ears and rings were symbols of "humble people". Tian Yiheng, a Ming man, said in the book "Keeping Youth for Heaven": "It is a humble thing for women to wear earrings to cover themselves since ancient times."

At first, ear piercing was mainly carried out among ethnic minorities to remind some unwilling and active women. Later, it spread to the Central Plains and was accepted by the Han people. There are different opinions about the reasons for piercing ears. Some say it is to ward off evil spirits, while others say it is to treat eye diseases.

Of course, the most acceptable reason is that ear piercing is to remind menstruation to be cautious, because the feeling of shaving one's face with earrings is somewhat similar to the feeling of being humiliated by others.

Earrings have a long history. In China's Neolithic tombs, a large number of earrings with different materials and shapes have been unearthed, such as those unearthed in Hemudu, Zhejiang, Weidun, Changzhou, Jiangsu, Daxi, Wushan, Lingjiatan, Anhui and Hanshan, and those unearthed in Jubaoshan, Zhenlai, Jilin and Xinle, Liaoning. When some earrings were unearthed, they were still on both sides of the ear bones of the tomb owner.

I have seen people who have pierced their ears before, and I feel that the injection is very painful. There is no way. Who makes girls naturally love beauty? Little friends also know what rare ways to get pierced ears, let's share them together ~
