China's ancient black hairpins were a common accessory for men in ancient China, where black hair was the norm.

Black was considered a noble color, symbolizing power and status.

Therefore, it was common for men to dye their hair black and wear black hairpins.

These hairpins not only served the practical purpose of holding the hair in place but also became a decorative item that showcased a man's character and taste.

While this traditional hairstyle is no longer popular today, it remains a cultural symbol with historical significance.
