Rich Artistic Connotation & Historical Background:

In ancient China, women's hairstyles and clothing were important cultural symbols.

These cultural artifacts and clothing not only reflected the aesthetic concepts and fashion trends of the time but also carried rich spiritual and cultural connotations and historical significance.

Among them, "combs" in traditional Chinese hair accessories are a very representative cultural artifact.

They not only have practical functions but also can show women's beauty and elegance.

In traditional Chinese culture, the shape, material, and use of combs have strict regulations and symbolic meanings.

For example, ancient women's hair buns were usually combed with combs, and the shape of the comb represented different identities and statuses.

In addition, combs can be used to decorate hair and increase women's charm and temperament.

Therefore, "combs" in traditional Chinese hair accessories are not only practical tools but also cultural symbols and works of art.
