Before, when I read some history books related to the Qing Dynasty, I would see that the hairstyles left by the men of the Qing Dynasty were basically the style of "yin and yang heads", but what kind of taboos did this hairstyle have? In fact, if we can see this phenomenon according to the content performed in the Qing Palace drama, and this kind of hair pattern not only represents their living customs, but also interprets the strength of the Manchu rulers of the Qing Dynasty to a large extent.
Today, I mainly talk to you about this matter, that is, why in addition to some bald men, almost most men at the end of the Qing Dynasty kept the hair styles mentioned above, which actually has a lot of attention.
First of all, when men from Manchu origin keep this hairstyle, they basically have to remove the hair in front of the hair, and the rest of the broken hair is braided behind the head.
In general, the requirements for such hairstyles in the Qing Dynasty were still very strict, and they were also enforced, especially in the early days of the aircraft, there was still a saying that "hair is not left", so this is more common. However, for the Han people, this is more stringent, so why is this, and then Xiaobian will give you a explanation on this problem!
We are all well aware that under the Manchu qing rule, basically many systems were set up by the Manchus, and it is even more important that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were also from the Manchus, so the descendants of this tribe have always followed the hairstyles mentioned above.
In fact, the reason why the emperor at that time would require the people of the country to keep this hair pattern was mainly because they lived from childhood to adulthood and even in their old age, relying on the lifestyle of riding and shooting, so cutting this type of hair can largely facilitate activities such as horseback riding.
The broken hair above the forehead of the head will be cut off, but also in order to avoid the situation that long hair will affect the line of sight when hunting, so if the back of the head is braided into a braid, imagine if you encounter a strong wind, it is certainly impossible to block the eyes, right?
But in fact, this custom of hair retention is not only left by Manchu men, in addition to this family, there are also some northern herders in the country who are like this, just like Inner Mongolia and other regions also have this kind of long braid, but the overall shape is still relatively different.
But if you don't seriously trace it back, this kind of yin and yang head is really popular in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and after this time, the men of the Qing Dynasty have developed into the style of money rat tail on the basis of change.
Speaking of this, perhaps everyone will be curious about how to comb such hair, in fact, the braids at the back of their heads are not very thick, after all, the long braids must be able to pass through the holes of the copper coin to be qualified, but because men from Han origin have always been based on farming, and do not use horseback shooting, it seems that it is a little too strict.
Especially coupled with the promulgation of the "shaving order" at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which in turn made Han men suppressed in all aspects of living habits and customs, but Xiaobian believes that a social problem can also be found from this, that is, the requirements for Manchu and Han men under the Manchu Qing orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty are still not fair!
