Shunzhi controlled Han women and demanded consistency with Manchu women, but one thing that could distinguish it was that there were many things that the historical Qing Dynasty had sounded interesting until now, in addition to the fact that the orthodox qing dynasty was Manchu, there have always been many different customs, systems and habits between the two major ethnic groups of Manchu and Han!
But in fact, if you compare it carefully, after Shunzhi inherited the throne, in order to further control the Han people, the Han people at this stage basically had to be consistent with the Manchus, whether in hairstyle or dress.
I have to say that Shunzhi's measures can really be said to narrow the "difference" between the two ethnic groups to a large extent, but in fact, although the Manchu women and the Han women say that there is not much difference on the surface, in fact, there is a little feature on them that is completely different!
We all know that in fact, women from Manchu origin are basically three ear holes on the left and right ears when they are very young, adding up to a total of six holes, but most of the Han women's back ears have only one pair of ear holes.
It was said a long time ago that in fact, all the Manchus belonged to the descendants of the Jurchen tribe, but there were also some people who felt that they should have migrated to the territory from the northern region, but according to the records in the Qing history manuscript, in fact, after the Manchu Qing entered the customs, the world officially began to be orthodox from this clan!
But in general, we can also analyze it through some historical books and books, in fact, the original Jurchen tribe already had the behavior of piercing the ears in the ears, and the women of this tribe basically punched several holes in the left and right ears, so from this point of view, it is possible that the manchu ear hole customs come from this clan.
Later, when it came to the time of the later gold, many men would regard wearing earrings as a fashion and trend, not to mention the Manchu women, they paid special attention to a series of ornaments on their ears, and it is no exaggeration to say that almost all the earrings worn by Manchu women at that time were made of gold, silver and jade.
Then, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty also continued the custom of piercing their ears, so that in the later period, there was the famous "one ear and three tongs" in history. In general, no matter what kind of status and status the Manchu women are in society, they need to abide by such regulations, and in general, the concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty and the noble daughters of the imperial relatives and nobles all wear earrings customized with precious metals and jewelry, while those who are poor can only wear bronze ornaments!
Generally speaking, in fact, the concubines of the Qing Dynasty, the female concubines in these deep palaces basically have six holes in their ears, and the earrings they wear on weekdays actually add up to nine. Moreover, women in the families of nobles with higher power above the imperial court would wear different types of expensive earrings every day according to changes in mood and clothing.
I have to say that the custom of "one ear and three tongs" can indeed be said to have lasted for a relatively long time, and the reason why Xiaobian said this is mainly because this tradition did not disappear completely until it was extinguished. On the whole, it can indeed be called a major symbol of the Qing Dynasty to distinguish Manchu women!
