There have been records of hairpins in the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation. The "Cihai" dictionary has this explanation: A hairpin is a long needle used by the ancients to fix their hair in a bun or to connect a crown to their hair. Later, it specifically refers to the jewelry that women wear in their buns. "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Humorists" says: "In front there was a fallen earring, and behind there was a lost hairpin." There is also the line "My white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and can hardly hold a hairpin" in Du Fu's "Spring Thoughts".
