We modern people pay attention to the trendy, tube is long hair, flat head, small braids, Mohican, dirty braids, really can not go to shave a bald head, as long as you like, any head shape can be done for you. In ancient times, there was no such good thing, first of all, pay attention to the skin of the body, the parents do not dare to damage, haircut you do not have to think, so the ancients have a long hair, the shawl is not good! So the hair was coiled into a bun, the common people wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and the powerful soldiers were fixed with hairpins, and this head shape was maintained for thousands of years.
In 1644 AD, the shaving order awakened all Han people like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, representing the tradition of filial piety and the concept that hair cannot be damaged, so that the Han people shouted the slogan "It is better to be a ghost with hair tied than to be a shaved head", while the Manchu Qing court gave a tit-for-tat order: "Leave your head without hair, and leave your hair without your head." It can be seen that if you want to live at that time, you must first see whether you have braids on your head, if you do not show that you do not support the decrees of the imperial court, your life is worrying!
So the question arises, what should bald and bald people do in the Qing Dynasty, which demanded shaving? People have a worrying amount of hair and can't keep braids at all!
In fact, there is no need to worry at all, and even to some extent, braiding is a blessing for bald people...
First of all, we have to analyze the history of the development of braids, the TV series of Manchu Qing people are left with yin and yang heads (forehead light, the back of the head with a large braid. But in fact, the head shape left in the early Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a yin and yang head, but a "money rat tail braid" - the popular interpretation is to leave a mouse tail, the whole head is light, and the area the size of copper money can be left on the back of the head! If we look at the self-portrait of Jinnong in the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou, we know that the amount of hair required for this kind of money rat tail is not much (mainly requiring the people to shave their heads and leave a small braid that can be seen, such an ugly head shape is very different from the Chinese historical clothing and crown system, so the people cannot accept it at all), and the bald people are more xie tops or hairlines moving forward... So no matter how serious the situation is, you can always hold a small braid in the back of your head, right?
Of course, the hairstyle of the braid is constantly changing, and we can clearly see that the emperor also has sideburns when we look at the portraits of Shunzhi, Kangxi and Yongzheng! It shows that the emperors did not leave a money rattail (people also dislike it is not good!). ), in the early and middle period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the imperial court for the braid system has been relaxed, money rattail gradually developed in the direction of yin and yang head, balding serious people said that this is a hidden, before everyone is a light brain shell hanging a small braid, now the inspection of hair volume this is not a sudden dew filling! But you don't have to worry, we folk are craftsmen, you feel that the braids are short, the amount of hair is small, then give you a renewed leave! If you think this thing is too expensive, inconvenient and not good-looking, then at most you will suffer a bit of ridicule, anyway, you can pull out a small braid...
Bald people are barely passing, what about those bald people? People can barely save a braid, and we can't save it if we just want to save it! There is also a way, then make a wig! The strict implementation of the shaving order has directly spawned the industrial chain of wigs... From production to after-sales can be said to be a one-stop service, if you feel that your hair volume is not up to standard, wear this wig to ensure that you are the most beautiful boy on the street! For example, when Mr. Lu Xun studied in Japan, he was deeply ashamed of his braids and cut it off. But returning home without braids is a big problem, and this is going to kill the head! So Mr. Lu Xun spent four oceans to ask someone to make a fake braid to wear (this price is really not cheap), so it can be seen that if there is no hair, buy a fake braid to wear!
Those who are born bald are easy to handle, but what if someone doesn't want to leave a money rat tail and simply shaves all their hair and pretends to be bald? The imperial court was not stupid, and directly demanded: if he was born fully bald (this is no way), he must report it to the local government, and Li Zheng (who maintains law and order in a small area of the local area, similar to the current street office plus a piece of police) testifies that he really does not grow hair on his brain, and does not want to rebel against the court's own shaving. Then the county issued a passport to prove that the goods are really bald (this process is also very strict!). Like the kind of thing that has no problem before asking for a shave, now let you braid and say balding is definitely not enough. And we have not been good about bald heads since ancient times, if we say that leaving a money rat tail still slightly retains a little bit of the bottom line of the Han people's hearts (at least a little hair on the head), then total baldness has brought a serious psychological burden to people, Li Zhen of the Ming Dynasty is neither degree nor certified, self-assertively shaved all hair, nicknamed Li Bald, but also mixed with the female disciple's concubine, Li Zhen is of course a decent gentleman, but he expressed contempt and ridicule of the world with such hairstyles and behaviors. Baldness suffered great criticism from both the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty with pigtails, so there were also people who shaved their heads on their own initiative, but there were not many (Wang Fuzhi, Lü Liuliang, and others were resolute not to keep braids, or hid in the wilderness to end up in Ming Dynasty clothes, or simply shaved their hair to become monks).
Be a monk! This is actually a way out, the shaving order does not require all Han people to shave their heads and keep pigtails, there are so-called ten from ten do not follow: "Men do not follow women, life does not follow death, yin does not obey yang, officials do not obey, old and young do not follow, Confucianism does not follow the way, prostitutes and thus excellent lings do not obey, eunuchs do not obey marriage, state names do not follow official names, and service taxes do not follow the written language. That is to say, women, children, and children of the monks and monks can be exempted from shaving their hair, so wouldn't patriots have the option to choose these professions to preserve the habits of their homeland?
It is really not so easy, first of all, you want to be a monk, this is not to be able to be, monks also need to be recognized by the imperial court and issue a degree (that is, the monk's ID card), after all, the monks do not produce tax exemptions, so the imperial court has always strictly controlled the number of monks, so many people on the pole want to become monks to reduce fiscal revenue How can the government approve? It's not that you can be a monk with a big bald head and wear a Taoist robe! If the imperial court does not approve of the investigation, it will be punished as not shaving! Or the life to be slaughtered. Moreover, few people with families are estimated to want to abandon their wives to escape into the empty door, after all, being a monk represents that they have no connection with red dust, can no longer drink wine and eat meat, and it is really impossible to choose this path without a strong heart and a firm will. Being a Taoist monk is good, you can drink wine, eat meat, and marry a wife! The best thing is that you don't even have to change your hairstyle, isn't it beautiful? This is a beautiful thing for you to think about again, the object of the shaving order when the Manchu Qing entered the customs includes The Taoist Di! The rulers were very disgusted with the Buddhas and Taoists in the Central Plains, and in addition to giving the monks and Taoists a specific degree to identify the authenticity, they also ordered the temple temple to have the old Ming Dynasty order to pay the department, not to hide, and not to allow the temple Taoist temple to have idle people and other people to live. Therefore, Daoist monks also have to shave their hair like ordinary people, but I think that Daoist monks with light brains wear Dharma crowns (I guess there is no way to keep their hair in buns!). With a small pigtail on the back of his head, how funny it looks. Finally, Zhang Hongren, the southern master of the Southern Sect of Shunzhi, and Wang Changyue, the abbot of the Baiyun Temple, visited the Shunzhi Emperor one after another, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation, and under the pleading of the Daoist monks, the eighteen-year-old emperor ordered the Daoists not to shave their hair and change their clothes, but at this time it had been decades since the Manchu Qing entered the customs, and the instructions for shaving their hair and changing customs had long been accepted by the people, and at this time, I am afraid that no one would want to become a Taoist priest in order to keep their hair, right?
Some people say that I will go singing, and it is no problem to grow my hair for the performance, right? First of all, singing opera in ancient times is a low-level low-level industry, the so-called "drama is unrighteous" can see the people's contempt for the children of the pear garden, first of all, someone behind the singing points and insults the ancestors, which can't stand it, and secondly, even if the singing needs to keep hair, the imperial court also recognizes, but also specifically orders that you are not held responsible, but still punished: "Order to change shaving, shackles and punishments", that is to say, you can not leave money rat tails, but the hairstyle still has to change, and you also have to wear shackles.
It can be seen that you have Zhang Liangji, people have walls and ladders, in the era of shaving orders to think of no use, honestly keep braids, but fortunately the victory of the Xinhai Revolution announced the demise of the corrupt Qing government, under the government's call people cut the braids on their heads, but also cut off the braids in their hearts. Since then, the free and fresh air has truly flowed into China, and people's consciousness has begun to awaken, and they have really tried to make the country rich and strong and strong.
