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.
发簪,也是古代男子常常赠予所爱女子的礼物。古代有个习俗,男女在定亲时,女子会剪下自己的一缕青丝,交与所爱之男子。所以,发簪,象征着爱的承诺。

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”.
中国有句经典成语“白头偕老”,用来形容那些一起走过人生风风雨雨的幸福伴侣。赠与所爱之人一把梳子,是对他(她)说“想跟你白头偕老” 的浪漫承诺。
礼物四:
Jade bracelet
