introduction
There is an idiom called "clothing and animals", which originally meant officials with corrupt moral character, and "clothing" refers to official clothing. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a notorious traitor who shaved his hair and changed his clothes in order to curry favor with the Manchu Qing, and also suggested to the Manchu Qing to speed up the pace of all Han shaving, and it was rare for a Han traitor to be able to do so.

Every time the Manchu Qing Dynasty is mentioned, people think of the funny big braid, which is not only a symbol of that era, but also symbolizes the history of the Han people's nearly three hundred years of enslavement. Although in recent years, the Qing Palace drama has flourished, the image of the Manchu Qing dynasty has been improved in people's minds under the beautification of the screenwriter and director, and the Qing Palace drama has become a popular drama in recent years under the development of new media, but these cannot erase the tyranny and hundreds of years of pain imposed on the Han nation after the Qing army entered the customs.

In addition, when the country of the late Qing Dynasty encountered danger, the Chinese people should have united against foreign enemies as countless times in the past, but the Manchu Qing chose to collude with foreign enemies in order to maintain their dominance of enslaving the Han people, and no matter how much flesh and blood of China was cut off, how could the people of the country whose backbone had been broken rise up? When was the backbone of the Han people broken? It starts with the braids on the head. And all this is inseparable from a traitor named Sun Zhizhuo.

Sun Zhizhuo, who was originally a soldier during the Apocalypse Period, was at the peak of Wei Zhongxian's power, and the castration party he single-handedly supported could not raise its head in the Middle Dynasty, so Sun Zhihuo, as a "wise man", naturally chose to castrate the party and take effect. But this kind of "cleverness" is really short-sighted, after all, there is a truth in the underworld that "prosperity must decline", Wei Zhongxian's power has reached an unprecedented level among the Ming eunuchs, and the Ming Dynasty system has determined that the eunuchs can never reach the point of abolishing the Son of Heaven in the Han and Tang Dynasties, so Wei Zhongxian is doomed not to last long.

Sure enough, the frail And sickly Emperor Tianqi soon died, and was succeeded by his younger brother Chongzhen. This year, Chongzhen was only 16 years old, but his fangs had already grown. Within a year, Chongzhen completely cleaned up Wei Zhongxian, which was unexpected by everyone, and the eunuch party naturally began to fall after losing its patron, and at the same time, the folk Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall and the eunuch party's writing "Three Dynasties Essential Code" were also burned by Chongzhen's order.

However, Sun Zhizhu jumped out to oppose the burning of the Three Dynasties Essential Code. Human nature is very complicated, and good and evil are not clear, so Sun Zhizhuo's motives for this move are difficult to determine, in short, it caused Chongzhen to be angry and scolded him. Unexpectedly, the next day, Sun Zhizhuo was even more excessive, and actually knelt down in the Taimiao Temple with the "Three Dynasties Essential Code" and cried, which completely angered Chongzhen, so he cut him to the people and never used it. Sun Zhihuo's behavior also became the laughing stock of the readers, perhaps it was at this time that he began to hate Chongzhen, and even hated the entire Ming Dynasty.

The opportunity for revenge soon came. Under the attack of Li Zicheng and the Qing army on both sides, Daming left and right, coupled with natural disasters, the rent tax could not be raised, and finally Li Zicheng led the attack on Beijing, Chongzhen Coal Mountain hanged himself. However, Li Zicheng also did not sit for long, and soon after Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass and was defeated, at this time Sun Zhizhuang, who was silent in the people, realized that the opportunity had come. More than a decade of waiting had filled his mind with hatred and distorted his personality.

As soon as the Manchu Qing entered the customs, the regent Dolgun issued an order to shave his hair, asking all the Han people to change to Manchu hair ornaments. You should know that at this time, there is no big braid in the TV series, but a "money rat tail", almost shaving people into a bald head, leaving only a small bundle of hair behind the head, requiring that it must be able to pass through the money eye. Not to mention the traditional Concept of the Han Chinese, the body skin is affected by the parents, this aesthetic is placed in today's few people can look directly. Later, the braids became bigger and bigger, and finally became the head of yin and yang, which was already the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Sun Zhizhu led the whole family to shave their hair together without saying a word, and put on Manchu costumes, and when the Manchu Qing arrived in Shandong, he ran to surrender and helped the Manchu Qing to attack the city, which can be described as "a great achievement". However, Sun Zhizhuo's behavior was very dismissive even in the eyes of the Manchu Qing, so when the imperial meeting was held, he originally stood in the Manchu Qing class, but he was bombarded by the Manchus and wanted to return to the Han Dynasty class, and others did not agree to see him dressed.
Therefore, the ashamed and indignant Sun Zhizhuo made a statement to Dorgon and asked for the acceleration of the shaving order, which was very much in line with the appetite of the Manchu Qing government, so Dorgon ordered all Han people to shave their hair within ten days after receiving the order, "leave their heads without hair, keep their hair without leaving their heads" yes. The blood courage in the bones of the Han people was stimulated, and countless people rose up to resist, and as a result, they were ruthlessly slaughtered.

Sun Zhizhuo did not have meritorious service after that, so he was deposed and returned to his hometown shortly after. The following year, a peasant revolt broke out in Shandong, and the traitor was captured alive for the first time, and the people used sewing needles to pierce countless holes in his whole body, and then inserted hair to punish him for helping the Manchu Qing to implement the shaving order. Sun Zhihuo broke his mouth and scolded, so his mouth was also sewn up, and eventually Sun Zhizhu was stabbed to death by the people's sewing needles on the street, and his family members were all affected by him, and none of them were spared. It is reported that Sun Zhihuo's cemetery was also pickpocketed four hundred years later, which can be called the most tragic traitor of the Ming Dynasty.
epilogue
Zi Yue: "Microtubule Zhong, I was sent to the left." "Costume is a national icon, a tradition that cannot be discarded and forgotten. The Pigtails of the Manchu Qing Dynasty enslaved the Han people for nearly three hundred years like a shackle, and the decline of modern China, which was delayed by nearly a hundred years longer than Japan, was due to the Manchu Qing and the traitor Sun Zhizhuo.
