Antique Chinese Beard Comb

This is a very unique item from China which is believed to be used by the noble men for grooming their beard. In ancient Chinese customs, people were not supposed to cut their hair or shave their beard. The reason was due to Confucian rites and filial piety. Confucian rites regarded that the hair and body were given to you by your parents. Thus, it would be a taboo and disrespectful to your parents if you shave and cut your hair. That is why most ancient Chinese did not cut their hair and usually left their hair and beard growing long.
