Tell me about the origin and correlation of "earrings"!

Earrings, also called "earrings", are decorations that people wear on their earlobes. It can be made of gold, silver, jade, pearls, agate and other materials, or it can be inlaid.

The origin of wearing earrings is difficult to verify. Some people think that it originated from the metal earmuffs used by northern nationalities to keep out the cold and wind. But it is more credible to say that earrings first appeared for medical purposes. From the perspective of modern medicine, it is reasonable. Because the center of the earlobe with earrings is just the acupoint of the eye. Therefore, wearing earrings has a good effect on protecting eyesight and preventing eye diseases, especially myopia.

Statement 2:

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 a silver needle in each earlobe on both sides. After that, a miracle appeared 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. I'm afraid these medical benefits are not what girls wearing earrings will think of today!

Statement 3:

In the ancient Roman Empire, earrings were indeed worn by slaves, but they were not instruments of torture, but a sign of slave status. Slaves with different division of labor wear different earrings.

Statement 4:

It is said that a long time ago, an old couple gave birth to a daughter in her forties. The old couple are very happy. They regard their daughter as a treasure.

My daughter is growing up and delicate. I also got into the habit of walking unsteadily and looking around. Because this behavior was not a sign of family education in ancient times, no one came to propose when the daughter was older. The old couple were very anxious, so they called their daughter and scolded her. My daughter said that she would definitely correct her bad habits. But she turned away, she couldn't remember it before going out, and she shook her head from time to time. The old couple thought and thought, and finally came up with a good idea: make a small hole in their daughter's ear, tie a line more than an inch long, and put a small clam shell under the line. In this way, as long as the daughter's head swings, the little clam shell will touch her face, and the daughter will remember her bad habits, so she won't waddle around.

When people see girls wearing mussels, they not only change their bad habits, but also look beautiful, so they learn to wear them through their ears. It is very popular for women to wear earrings.
