In ancient China, the emperor's concubines would often wear elaborate headdresses and jewelry to display their status and wealth.

These headdresses and jewelry not only served as decorative pieces but also represented imperial power and authority.

One famous example of such headdresses is the traditional hair ornament worn by the empresses and concubines of ancient Chinese royalty, also known as the "Gongnu Headwear."

This intricate structure was made of silk and consisted of a top piece, a chin strap, and a neck support.

The headwear was usually crafted from gold or silver and adorned with various gemstones and pearls, such as jade, pearls, and rubies.

In addition to the Gongnu Headwear, there was another type of headdress called the "Empress Headwear," which was worn by the emperor's wife.

The Empress Headwear was typically more elaborate and exquisite than the Gongnu Headwear, featuring even more gemstones and pearls.

Other notable examples of headdresses and jewelry include the "Da Lafen" headwear of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty and the "Zhen Huan Zhuan" headwear of the Han Dynasty.

These headdresses and jewelry were integral parts of ancient Chinese culture, representing not only imperial power and authority but also reflecting fashion trends and aesthetic ideals of the time.
