Nowadays, we will always hear many little girls who love beauty complaining about why their faces are so big; compared with Chinese, we will find that indeed many European and American faces appear smaller and seem to look better. Is Chinese face bigger than that of Europeans and Americans? In fact, the big one is not the face, but the shape of our head.
Now there are children's friends at home can observe whether the elders in the family always like to let the newborn children fall asleep on the pillow of hard objects such as millet. This custom, called "sleeping flat head", was spread throughout the Central Plains after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs; even though the Qing Dynasty had perished, this habit of "sleeping flat head" has been preserved to this day.
You must know that we Chinese Han people have been round heads for thousands of years, but the Manchus have a flat head for beauty, especially in the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, that is, in 1901 AD, after the Manchu Han were allowed to intermarry, this custom was transmitted from the Manchus to the Han people. The reason why the Manchus have this habit is mainly due to two reasons.
First of all, we all know that Manchu women like to leave "flag heads", Manchu men like to leave half of the head of the "braided head", flat head will make the Manchu two hairstyles more beautiful, especially after the Manchu customs, in Shanxi and Mongolia, if anyone's daughter is not a flat head, it will be said to be an "ugly girl".
On the other hand, the Manchus are a people on horseback, they attach great importance to manners, and lying on their backs from a young age is conducive to the overall posture, and the posture after getting on the horse will be more beautiful and generous. This idea was popularized by the upper class and was soon accepted by the masses, and from then on newborns began to "sleep flat".
Nowadays, society is beautiful for thinness, and girls also want their faces to be smaller and smaller, so they have begun to complain about their flat heads. But does the impact of a flat head on people only the aspect of large face and small face? No, readers with children have noticed that flat heads are actually very harmful to human growth and development.
One of the most serious consequences is that it will affect your baby's IQ development. It should be known that the newborn's head is very fragile, and the bones in the back of the head are not yet fixed at this time, so it is easy to affect the shape of the baby's head through some harder pillows. The consequence of this is that the baby's mental development is relatively slow, and even lead to the deformation of the skull, damage to the normal brain structure, resulting in brain volume is affected, the most terrifying thing is that some of the appendages in the brain are likely to be misaligned.
This kind of flat head is medically called "flat head syndrome", and the consequences are not only the impact of IQ. We all know that the human brain can be regarded as the most delicate and complex part of the human body, and the central nervous system that controls the human body is gathered here, including the optic nerve. The flat head is easy to compress the visual nerve, which affects the strength of the child.
A small flat head, I didn't expect to cause so much harm to us. When a child is just born, it is the stage when it is most likely to be hurt by small things in the outside world, and I hope that everyone will pay attention to it in the future.
