Chinese mirror has a long history which can date back to more than 3500 years ago. Most mirrors in ancient China were made of bronze with two sides, a reflective side and a decorative back side.
In ancient Chinese culture, mirror was more than just a grooming aid. It was regarded as the love token between lovers. The break of mirror indicated a broken marriage while a broken mirror joined together indicated the reunion of a husband and wife.
Some mirrors with special symbols were also used as the protection against evil spirits.
