The historical origin of the ring

According to statistics, China has worn rings about 4,000 years ago. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was common for women to wear rings. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, folks used the ring as a token of affection. Young men and women often expressed their affection with a gift ring. In the Tang Dynasty, rings became more prevalent as a token of love and have continued to this day.

It is reported that the ring originated in the ancient Chinese court. Women wear rings for notes. The ring is a sign of “forbidden” and “forbidden”. At that time, the emperor had three houses and six hospitals, and seventy-two. In the harem, who was seen by the emperor, the eunuch made a note of the date she accompanied the king and wore a silver ring on her right hand as a mark. When you are pregnant and tell the eunuch, give a gold ring on your left hand to show your body.

Later, the ring became a wedding token. In the 14th century, European women wearing rings became commonplace. On which finger is worn, there is also a convention: if the index finger indicates that he wants to marry, he means to propose a marriage; the middle finger indicates that he is in love; the ring finger indicates that he is engaged or married; and the little finger indicates that he is single. The thumb is generally not wearing a ring. The ring should generally be worn on the left hand, which is also an accepted practice in all countries of the world.

Barbaric said that it was said to have been the result of an ancient marriage grab. At that time, men robbed women of other tribes and gave her shackles. After many years of evolution, the yoke has become an engagement and wedding ring. The man gives the woman a ring and says that she has owned me.

Worship says the ring is derived from ancient sun worship. The ancient ring is made of jade in the form of a ring, symbolizing the solar sun wheel. It is considered to be like the sun god. It gives people warmth, protects the happiness and peace of mankind, and symbolizes virtue and eternity, truth and belief. At the wedding, the groom wears a gold ring, symbolizing the fiery sun; the bride wears a silver ring, symbolizing the clean moon.

Practically speaking, this has been traced back more than 3,000 years ago when there was no ring. Since the Egyptian ruler had the habit of carrying the seal of the privileged representative on his body at any time, he was too tired to put it in his hands. Then someone thought of inlaying a ring and putting it on the finger. As time goes on, people find that the small seal on the finger of a man is quite beautiful, so they constantly improve and evolve into a woman's jewelry.

The taboo said that the ring was synonymous with the "ring", and the history book called "about the finger", "cockroach (left side should be "bow" ring), "hand notes", "substitute finger" and so on. Initially, the ring was a special mark used by the middle and late priests of the court to avoid refuge. When pregnant or otherwise unable to get close to the king, they are all locked in the left hand with the golden finger ring to ban the imperial concubine's "Yuxing". Usually, they use the silver ring and put it in the right hand. Later, when the ring was passed to the people, it went to its original meaning. It was beautiful, and it stayed for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, Du Fu's "Sanyu Yubi" remembered; "this world uses gold and silver as the ring, placed in the woman's fingertips, that the ring." From the literal analysis of "Just" word contains the meaning of the prohibition. Therefore, women’s rings at the time were not for the sake of beauty, nor were they for decoration, but they used caution to show caution.

Since ancient times, the ring has a strong symbolic meaning, so its wearing method is very particular about. According to China's custom, the engagement ring is usually worn on the left middle finger and the wedding ring on the left hand ring finger. If the unmarried girl is on the right middle finger or ring finger, it will make many pursuers frustrated.

According to the Western tradition, the left hand shows the luck God has given you. It is related to the heart. Therefore, it makes sense to wear the ring on the left hand.
