The Symbolism of Bauhinia in Chinese Culture

The Bauhinia flower holds profound significance in Chinese hairpin history.

The wooden handmade hair stick extends approximately 8.3 inches (approx. 21cm) in length, providing secure and comfortable wear for various hairstyles. The natural materials ensure a lightweight feel while maintaining durability and authentic character.
