"Love beauty, everyone has it" People do everything in their power to pursue beauty, and some people do not hesitate to stick needles with ink on the bottom of the skin to draw patterns or write for beauty, presumably everyone can see that this means of pursuing beauty is tattoos.
There is nothing wrong with tattoos, but tattooed people are good and bad, and society is also full of discrimination against people with tattoos, and some ordinary workers will even refuse to interview people because of tattoos. The phenomenon of discriminating against tattoos has existed since ancient times, experts say that ordinary people hide when they see it, who are the people who tattooed in ancient times, and who is so terrible?
Chinese tattoos have existed as early as the Neolithic Age, when the figures on the faience vases were tattooed with flowers, birds, fish and insects. The first record of tattoos in history was in the Zhou Dynasty, Zuo Zhuan: "Zhongyong Sizhi, tattoos with broken hair, naked as ornaments." "In the beginning, tattoos were not a sign of bad people, but only a symbol of people painting patterns and tattoos on their bodies to please themselves and others with their beauty. However, in the pre-Qin era, tattoos became ink punishments that tattooed characters on the faces of prisoners.
Ink punishment began in the Zhou Dynasty, the executor used to engrave words on the prisoner's face, and then use ink to apply to the wound, the word will follow the prisoner's face for a lifetime, becoming a shame that can never be washed away. After the Qin Dynasty, it was called appeasement, and in modern times and the Song Dynasty, it was used as a punishment for prisoners, which is why so many tattooed people in "Water Margin" have been imprisoned. The tools of the Northern Song Dynasty changed from knives to needles, and in ancient times, because of the backwardness of medical common sense, many prisoners died of bacterial infections.
In ancient times, people who were subjected to be appeased were usually people who had done bad things, and the executors of the Song Dynasty would also stab different shapes in different places of the prisoner, telling others what crimes he had committed, such as tattooing behind the ear and stealing things before; tattooing the words in a conspicuous place on the forehead, arranging the words in a square shape, and he was an exiled prisoner.
Many ancient celebrities were appeased, and Song Jiang accidentally killed Yan PoXi, who was sentenced to be appeased and sent to Jiangzhou. Although the punishment was relatively light, the personality was greatly insulted, and the common people hid far away when they saw it, and Song Jiang also sought out the divine doctor An Daoquan several times in order to eliminate the words on his face.
The tang dynasty was open and tolerant, and many ordinary people took the initiative to get tattoos, and the most tattooed was still a hooligan. Buddhism prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and some of the little bastards tattooed bodhisattvas on their backs, hoping that bodhisattvas would give them divine powers or escape punishment.
A man named Zhao Gao in Sichuan had a tattoo on his back with the Heavenly King Bodhisattva, and the executioner did not dare to use his staff to punish him after seeing it, otherwise he would have offended the bodhisattva. The army also requires soldiers to tattoo the number of their units on their bodies to distinguish their identities.
Ancient women would rather die than get tattoos, and the Tang Dynasty female official Shangguan Wan'er secretly walked too closely with Zhang Changzong, the man who was lying on the bed with Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian punished her with ink punishment, adding a stain to her beautiful little face.
Shangguan Wan'er is also a young woman who loves beauty, how can she bear to have her face destroyed? Clever, she came up with a good way to add a plum blossom to the word, which incidentally brought up the "plum blossom makeup" of the hot Tang Dynasty.
Tattooed people are not all bad people, Yue Fei's back is tattooed with "Jingzhongguo" 4 big characters, no one will think that he is a bad person, so the bad is not a tattoo, but the person who does bad things just happens to have a tattoo, what do you think?
