  • Buyao (simplified Chinese: 步摇; traditional Chinese: 步搖; pinyin: Bùyáo; lit. 'step-shake') is a type of Chinese women's hair ornament. It is a type of Chinese hairpin which was often times decorated with carved designs and jewelries that dangles when the wearer walks, hence the name, which literally means "shake as you go". The buyao is similar to a zan hairpin, except for the presence of its dangling ornaments, which are its primary featured characteristics. The buyao appeared as early as in the Han dynasty, where only noble women in the royal family could wear it. In ancient times, the use of buyao denoted noble status. Some noble women also put buyaos on their tiaras, making their hair decoration more luxurious than simple buyao. Common material used in making the buyao was gold; the ornaments were typically jade and pearls. Other valuable materials could be used, such as silver, agate, etc. Many centuries after the fall of the Han dynasty, the buyao was introduced to ordinary civilians; and when all women were allowed to wear to it, more variety of materials were used to produce them. Buyao was passed down over generations; buyao decorated with pendants are still popular in modern day China. (en)
  • Un buyao (chinois simplifié : 步摇 ; chinois traditionnel : 步搖 ; pinyin : bùyáo ; lit. " secouer en marchant ") est un type d'ornement de cheveux traditionnel des femmes chinoises. Il s'agit d'une sorte d'épingle à cheveux chinoise dont le bijou pend lorsque la personne qui le porte marche, d'où son nom qui signifie littéralement " secouer en marchant " L'utilisation du buyao dénote un statut noble. Le buyao apparaît dès la dynastie Han, et, après elle, le buyao se diffusa dans la société et transmis de génération en génération. Certaines femmes nobles mettent également des buyaos sur leurs diadèmes, ce qui rend leur décoration capillaire plus luxueuse qu'un simple buyao. Les matériaux couramment utilisés pour les fabriquer sont l'or, le jade et les perles. (fr)
