The shape of the ear spoon is very simple, with a slender handle, and a small spoon is made at one end of the handle. "Spoon, picking also. Pictograph. There is real, agree with the package, all spoons belong to the spoon." ("Said the text") its texture is bamboo, ivory, horn bone, jade, iron, copper, silver, gold, small and exquisite, you can reach into the ear hole to dig.
When did this ear-earning tool originate? Based on archeological realities, it is no later than the Shang Dynasty. In a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the Fuhao Tomb in Yinxu, there were two jade ear spoons carved into the shape of fish with mouth, eyes, back, chest, and tail. The patterns were clear and exquisite. This woman is the princess of King Wu Ding of Yin, who once conquered the western generals, and was the earliest known female shooter in China.
Gold ear spoons were found in an ancient tomb in Nanchang, Jiangxi. The owner of the tomb is Gao Rong, a Soochow man from the Three Kingdoms. The funeral golden ear spoon weighs 9 grams and is 24 centimeters long (about 10 centimeters from an ordinary ear pick). It can be seen that his identity is special.
