Recently, the image of Song Yingxing combing braids in "China in the Classics" has been widely discussed. Some people believe that Song Yingxing was loyal to Daming all his life and should not be shaved; while some people said that since Song Yingxing lived for about 20 years during the Qing Dynasty, he should have braids. So, what should the image of Song Yingxing be?
"China in the Classics" Song Yingxing
Song Yingxing was born in 1587, his hometown was in Fengxin County, Nanchang Province (now Fengxin, Jiangxi), at this time it was the Ming Dynasty Wanli period, so Song Yingxing Zheng'er Bajing was born in the Ming Dynasty, "China in the Classics" also follows this historical fact in the film, young and middle-aged Song Yingxing, the image is han family clothes, there is no problem, indicating that at least the program team has seriously inquired about Song Yingxing's birth and death, rather than rudely classifying Mr. Song into the ranks of "Qing Dynasty people".
"China in the Classics" Song Yingxing's middle-aged image
In 1644, Li Zicheng attacked the city of Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty declared its demise, but a year later, the Qing army entered the pass and destroyed Dashun, followed by the edict of "shaving the hair and changing clothes", although people from all over the country resisted, but under the bloody suppression of the Manchu Qing army, all the resistance became futile.
Lee self-imaged
According to the Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, "From now on, inside and outside the capital, directly under the provinces, shaved every day." If you avoid avoiding hair and arguing with clever words, you will never take the loan lightly." At this time, it was just the second year of Shunzhi, that is, 1645 AD. Therefore, it can be seen that the shaving order arrived at the same time as the arrival of the Qing soldiers, and there was no Manchu Qing who sat firmly in the position of the Emperor of the Central Plains before ordering the shaving of the head.
In 1645, the Qing army continued to invade the south, and the Southern Ming court was unable to resist the invasion of the Qing soldiers, and in this year a large amount of land was lost, and Song Yingxing's hometown of Jiangxi was completely fallen.
By 1645, Jiangxi was already under the control of the Manchu Qing
At this time, Song Yingxing chose to pin his hopes on Nanming, but due to the internal corruption of Nanming, he did not want to recover the lost land, only knew how to fight with his heart, Song Yingxing was discouraged, chose to return to his hometown, refused to be a soldier, and lived a reclusive life, until 1661 or 1666. That is to say, logically speaking, If Song Yingxing wants to live in his hometown, he will definitely be shaved.
Therefore, it is also normal to infer from common sense that Song Yingxingqing and middle-aged people are the crown of the Han family, and they are forced to shave their hair and braid in their later years.
However, the program team forgot one thing: respect for historical figures and respect for the feelings of the people.
For example, Mr. Gu Yanwu and Song Yingxing were in a similar situation, both were born in the Ming Dynasty and died in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. He hated the Qing Dynasty very much, and had been committed to the anti-Qing cause until his old age, when he began to live in seclusion and always regarded himself as a remnant of the Ming Dynasty. When his wife died, Gu Yanwu once wrote such a poem: "Zhengu Ma Mane is in Jiangcun, sending Ru Huangquan's six-year-old grandson." When they met underground to tell their fathers and grandmothers, there was still one remnant of the people. ”
Gu Yanwu's portrait never had braids
But in order to live, Gu Yanwu also shaved his hair, because Kangxi had been imprisoned for the Laizhou Huang Peishi case in the seventh year, if he had not shaved his hair, he would have died a long time ago, but Gu Yanwu lived until Kangxi twenty-one years.
However, no matter how we go to the historical materials, we will not see the portrait of Gu Yanwu with braids, only the image of him wearing a turban.
As a lifelong anti-Qing, Song Yingxing, who regards himself as a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, should have the same psychology as Gu Yanwu, they can only shave their hair in order to survive, but this image they are ashamed to show to others, so the program team shows a Pigtailed Song Yingxing, obviously only concerned about "historical facts", but forgot to respect the hearts of the sages, forgot that they devoted their lives to anti-Qing, but had to yield under the brutal and bloody suppression of humiliation, does this really respect history?
