Hairpins were also a common gift for a man to give his girlfriend in ancient times. An old tradition in China was that women would cut a small lock of hair to give to their beloved at their engagement, so hair decorations symbolize a promise of love.
發簪,也是古代男子常常贈予所愛女子的禮物。古代有個習俗,男女在定親時,女子會剪下自己的一縷青絲,交與所愛之男子。所以,發簪,象征著愛的承諾。

Comb
梳子

There is a beautiful Chinese idiom, “Bai tou xie lao”, meaning the happy couple will be together until their hair turns white. Giving a comb to a loved one is a romantic promise which means “I want to be with you until we get old together”.
中國有句經典成語“白頭偕老”,用來形容那些一起走過人生風風雨雨的幸福伴侶。贈與所愛之人一把梳子,是對他(她)說“想跟你白頭偕老” 的浪漫承諾。
