  1. Judging from the decoration left by the concubine of the Qing Dynasty, there are two types of crickets. The first is practical 簪, which is mostly used for fixed buns and head shapes. The other type is decorative 选择, and the most precious materials are selected to make the exquisite patterns. They are specially used in the obvious position after combing the buns. Many palace realistic paintings in the Forbidden City are depicted by the concubine Dai Dai. From the picture, some of them put their crickets in the middle of the buns, and some were slanted in the roots of the buns. The concubines were covered with jewelry, but their buns were one of the best. Therefore, the concubine of the Qing Dynasty used the golden jewelry as the texture, and it was also very particular about the production process. Often, it was most precious to use a whole piece of emerald, coral crystal or ivory to make a puppet and needle. For example, the white jade treasures collected by the Forbidden City of Beijing are made of pure sheep fat and white jade. The emerald plate intestines and coral bats carved with the same method are all good works in the decoration. In addition, there are golden blessings in front of the eyes, the magpie, and the five bats to hold the Shouzhu, etc., and have attracted much attention to the fine carvings and exquisiteness. There are also heads inlaid with various pearls on the golden bottom. Most of them are combined with the two parts of the pupae and the needle, but they still have a sense of richness and luxury. With the gradually widening and widening of the concubine style of the Qing Dynasty, the shape of the decoration gradually developed towards the two extremes, one is that the head is gradually becoming smaller, such as pimple needles, ear -digging spoon, old crow scoop, etc.; The other is The decoration is getting bigger and bigger, not only suitable for Manchu women to comb the characteristics of large head coverage, but also gradually evolve into large jewelry such as head flowers and flat squares.
