Ancient people paid attention to the skin of the body, and their parents did not shave their hair or shave. In many dynasties, men with tied hair were gentle and handsome. But the Qing Dynasty was very different, the man had an extremely ugly hairstyle, which looked like a bald man from the front, without any beauty. Why did the Qing Dynasty require everyone to change their hairstyles?
First of all, the country changes hands, the dynasties change, and everything has to change. Historically, many ethnic minorities were assimilated by the Han, such as the Xianbei people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even the imperial family changed their Han surnames. But the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty did not think so, wanted to retain many of their own customs and habits, and wanted to make the Han people submit to them. Shaving your hair becomes an order that must be performed.
When the Qing army entered the customs in 1644, Dorgon issued a shaving order. But the Han people have been growing their hair for thousands of years, and of course they will strongly oppose him. At that time, it caused social chaos, and Dorgon knew that everything in the world needed to be considered in the long run, so he dismissed this idea.
When the political situation stabilized, the Qing Dynasty attacked and destroyed the Ming Dynasty's capital, Beijing. Dorgon began to plan his original shaving again. Coincidentally, there happened to be a Han chinese, this person was called Sun Zhiji, and he shaved his hair to learn Manchu in order to show his heartfelt initiative. In the face of his behavior of forgetting his ancestors, Han officials despised him and excluded him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhizhuo, a villain, handed Shunzhi a piece of music in order to pat himself on the back, saying that if the emperor wanted to unify all of China, he would have to unify the costumes and hairstyles of the whole country. Let the Han people shave their hair and change their clothes. This recital won the heart of the regent Dorgon. Dorgon, of course, is going to adopt it. Moreover, this is a recital written by the Han people themselves, and it is not that he is full of people who want to take the initiative to force them.
At that time, the policy was very strict, directly leaving hair without head, leaving head without hair. This time the Han people are fried, according to the etiquette is to wear hair as a child, long hair bunch ah. Many people refuse to shave their hair in order to defend the etiquette. As a result, the revolt was useless. People who don't shave their hair are really being slaughtered.
As soon as there was bloodshed and death, people were frightened. No matter how important it is, it is fate! So many people shaved their hair and grew small braids. When everyone shaves together, there is no one who laughs at whom, but they will secretly sigh and silently cry. Gradually people became less persistent.
Of course, there were also those who swore to die and did not shave their hair, and at that time, the soldiers and civilians of Jiangyin City in the Jiangnan region swore to die and fought against the iron horse of the Qing Dynasty for eighty-one days, and finally 170,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. In this way, people in other places are of course more afraid and take the initiative to shave their hair. No one wants to be like Jiangyin City, not even for the sake of hair.
Under the steel knife, the Han people chose the time-conscious person as Junjie. All shaved full of people like half-bald head braid hairstyle. But was the hairstyle at that time really like the Qing Palace drama? The answer is no. It would be nice to have that good looking. In fact, the range of heads that need to be shaved is very large, the front is fully shaved, and the back of the head can only be left a little.
The standard Qing Dynasty hairstyle is called money rattail. It is to remove all the hair around the top of the head, leaving only a little hair in the middle. It is said that it is money, as small as copper coins. The braided pigtail is called a rattail, and it is very thin, only a little. When you think about it, it feels very two, very ugly.
So what if this requirement is not met? Quite simply, it is also necessary to pay the price of life and beheaded. That is to say, if the Han people want to live, they not only need to shave their hair, but also need to shave the appearance of the requirements. The Qing Palace drama is simply too deceptive, it is really that kind of hairstyle, where is there any handsome guy? What a rude rough guy! So, history is always beyond our imagination, a lot of eye-catching things.
