Yajin (Chinese: 压襟; pinyin: Yājīn), also known as shijian er (Chinese: 事件儿; pinyin: Shìjiàn er), is a type of Chinese accessory which is placed at the lapels of Chinese clothing (robes and jackets); they would typically hanged down on the right side (sometimes at the front depending on the clothing closure) of the chest area in order to press on the clothing. The yajin appeared as early as the Tang dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are various styles of yajin, including a dangling pendant-style (which is similar to jinbu or tassels in style) and a bracelet-style, known as shibazi (Chinese: 十八子; pinyin: Shíbāzi; lit. 'Eighteen sons'). Yajin can also be used as accessories on the cheongsam, where it is tied on the pankou knots.
