Everyone knows that the hairstyle characteristics of Qing Dynasty men are very distinct, and their hairstyles can be remembered at a glance, mainly because the hairstyles of Qing Dynasty men are completely shaved in the first half of the head, only the second half has long hair, and finally a particularly long braid is tied behind the head. This hairstyle became a feature of the Qing Dynasty, and many people think that it is not particularly difficult for men to maintain such long hair? So how dirty are the braids of Qing Dynasty men? Let's take a look at it.
In fact, this is a particularly disgusting thing, mainly because in the culture of the Qing Dynasty, the body skin is given by the parents, so it can not be easily moved, first of all, many Qing Dynasty people do not have the habit of bathing, because they think that the body is given by the parents, even if it is stained with sludge, it belongs to their own body. Hair is even more so, there are many Qing Dynasty people will not cut their hair in their lifetime, because they think that as long as they cut their hair, it is a kind of harm to their parents, so an empress during the Qing Dynasty, because she cut her own hair, was directly beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, because this behavior is actually cursing the emperor and the empress.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were already many Westerners coming to China, and there was an Englishman who came to China and wandered around China, and people could tell through his mouth what the Qing Dynasty was like at that time. The Englishman, a preacher, said that only the nobility had time to wash their hair, and that most commoners would probably never clean their hair for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the odor on every man's body at that time was very serious, and when he approached, he could smell a putrid smell, which basically came from their hair. Some princes and nobles, because their hair is relatively long, will probably be washed once a month or two, but they will definitely keep their hair fragrant, and they will also apply a certain amount of hair oil to their heads, and even spray some spices.
At that time, the missionary once took a photo of an ordinary person washing his hair, and many people felt very disgusted after reading it, and they couldn't eat at all. Because there are all kinds of filth in the braids, and you can even clearly see fleas and some lice and the like. At the same time, the preacher said that when the hair was scattered, the smell was so bad that even he couldn't stand it, he could only hide aside first, and he couldn't clean up after changing several basins of black water.
How dirty were the braids of Qing Dynasty men? A British person took a photo, after watching it can not eat can only say that no matter in which dynasty, the people living at the bottom are very hard, how do netizens think about this matter?
