In ancient China, men also used hairpins, and men's hairpins were more practical. Hairpins generally combine materials and craftsmanship.

Jade hairpins are a developed form of the ancient jade hairpin. Jade hairpins are usually carved from materials that are of very good water quality but not necessarily colored. Hairpins are long and slender in shape, so if the raw material is of poor quality, the appearance will be greatly affected and it will not be strong.
