The headdress of Fuzhou women is three silver hairpins on the left, middle and right, more than eight inches long, looking like a knife, which Fuzhou people call "three hairpins", also called "three knives". These three hairpins are not just a simple headdress. About the origin of the "three knives" headdress, some people say that it originated from the ancient Min-Yue women who used to wear sharp weapons on their heads to ward off violence and chill their enemies. More people believe that it is related to an old legend: more than 400 years ago, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese invaders attacked the outskirts of Fuzhou. Unwilling to be humiliated, rural women in Fuzhou carried short, sharp iron tools on their bodies to defend themselves against the enemy. Later, in order to carry them conveniently and conceal them, they turned these small iron tools into iron hairpins, which were inserted into their hair buns and used to defend themselves and kill the enemy, or even to commit suicide if they were having a hard time. Then gradually evolved into a sword-shaped headdress made of silver, with a strong symbolic decorative meaning.
