On the eighth day of November in the eighth year of the Republic of China (1919), Hailin, Heilongjiang, Hada Village.
With the roar of the engine, four Japanese Type 94 military trucks, led by a partial three-wheeled military motorcycle, appeared crookedly on the village road, rolled up the snow on the road under the wheels, and finally stopped at the gate of Lao Xu's house in the east of the village.
Two of them also chased after the rear......
The villagers walked out of their homes one after another, put their hands in their sleeves, and craned their necks to watch the excitement.
I saw that the seventy or eighty people who jumped down from the military card were all wearing dark yellow military uniforms.
And the young man who came down unhurriedly on the back of the motorcycle was wearing a straight woolen military uniform.
If there is a knowledgeable person here, he will definitely be surprised: this person looks young, and he actually has the rank of general......
However, even the villagers who don't know the military rank can see that it is not simple: the squeaky leather boots on the ground, and the military coat on the body, add a lot of might!
When you look closely: Oh, isn't this the kid from the old Xu family who I haven't seen for a long time - Xu Wanhai?
This is developed, and the clothes are home!
Xu Wanhai's father was even more happy with snot foaming, and hurriedly beckoned his neighbors to help, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and set up more than a dozen tables of banquets to entertain his son's subordinates.
Large bowls of wine, large pieces of meat, and soon these people were all drunk, and they ripped off their military uniforms, revealing all kinds of shirts inside—black, white, red, cotton, linen, silk, and even black silk that was obviously worn by an old lady......
Also, the long belt around the waist, isn't that that special for that or that?
Everyone present was dumbfounded, and those who were awake had already seen the doorway.
At the same time, Sun Liechen, the newly appointed overseer of Heilongjiang and army general, walked on the road with a team of subordinates wearing a variety of clothes, sighing.
The only psychological consolation is this: these clothes are very warm, especially the hats - not to mention, they are really comfortable to wear, a hundred sets better than military hats......
01
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Kanto region was everywhere, and the dreadlocks were rampant. The big dreadlocks may be "seven do not rob and eight do not grab", abide by some rules, and avoid drying up and fishing, while the small dreadlocks are not, killing chickens to take eggs, geese to pluck their feathers. Therefore, the common people can be regarded as being bullied by the elderly.
The so-called "uncle enters the mountain, it is for food and clothing", "clothing, food, housing and transportation", and clothing ranks first.
So what does the Kanto beard really look like?
In fact, the wearing of the Kanto beard does not have too much attention and characteristics, the same as the common people, but it is also different. "Same" means that the beard is usually not dressed in an unusual way, and "different" means that the bearded clothes will be more magnificent than the average person.
The main manifestation is the hat.
The beard attaches great importance to hats, this is because the climate in the Northeast is cold, and there is no good hat outside the activity, let alone robbery, first freeze yourself half to death.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the beard was also braided, so a corrugated hat was worn on the head, which was convenient for wrapping the braids. The material is the pursuit of long hair, warmth, the best is fox skin, otter skin, lynx skin, ordinary dog skin, rabbit skin, wolf skin.
In the Republic of China, the braid was cut, and the material of the hat with the beard did not change, but the style changed. The big shopkeeper and the four beams and eight pillars have the status of a Turkish-style velvet hat, while the cub has a melon skin hat shaped like an ingot, which can be put down on both sides and the back to protect the ears and neck, and it will not be cold in the wind and snow.
The hair on the back of the neck will be particularly long, so that the pistol can be inserted in the back of the head, which is conducive to concealment, the gun is fast, and it can also avoid freezing the thimble of the gun.
Regarding this point of the bearded hat, it is highly restored in the 1960 version of "Lin Hai Xueyuan" of Bayi Factory:
The left is a Turkish hat, and the right is an ingots melon skin hat
In director Tsui Hark's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", although the style of the hat is fine, the material is too exaggerated, and it is definitely not real animal fur, but artificial fur.
In spring and autumn, it is basically a Panama top hat and woolen material.

The clothes worn by the beard belong to meat and vegetarian food: robes and horse coats, short shirts, placket jackets, and cotton robes with shoulders, everything, and you can wear whatever you can grab, so it is basically the same as the common people. Although there are many kinds of shapes, there are absolutely no strange shapes.
The styling in the picture above is too exaggerated, and it is a typical product of Hong Kong people's "assumptions". It's true that the Kanto beard is brutal, and it's also true that it's ferocious, but the most basic aesthetic is still online......
For example, some big shopkeepers of silk will generally try to get a military big hat, which is majestic and magnificent.
And even if it is a cub (a minion in a beard), the clothes he wears must be more magnificent than that of ordinary people!
Why do you say that? The beard is usually active, and if he sees that the clothes worn by the living are better, he will shout when he likes it:
"Bunch of leaves"!
This is a black saying, which means: let's change our clothes......
If you are Iron Man, then you can politely refuse, if you are not Iron Man, then it is better to be obedient.
Of course, in the case of a robe, there will be a side slit, which is really different from ordinary clothes. The reason is that it is convenient for riding, and it can be tucked up and tucked in the belt.
Although the clothes on the beard are ordinary, the belt is certainly not ordinary. It can be said that the beard attaches great importance to the belt, because it is no longer limited to wearing, but a tool.
The belt is a palm-wide cotton material, which is very strong and can reach a length of three or four meters.
It is usually tied around the waist to hide some valuable things, such as gold bars and silver dollars.
The most important thing is that the belt can be used as an escape rope at critical moments, such as after one end is fixed, you can go downstairs, down the cliff, and down the high wall along the belt.
It can also be used as an outdoor rope to go up trees, houses, and forts.
The main focus is on practicality and professionalism, or how about a beard......
It is said that in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China (1929), Jilin Shulan, there was a beard with the number "Flying Tiger", and he went to the door to congratulate the brothers, but the outside was blocked by the officers and soldiers, and finally relied on the belt to climb over the high wall, and finally escaped.

The trousers worn by the beard are generally tight-legged breeches with leggings for easy riding. When it's cold, wear a pair of cotton trousers outside.
Trousers were unique to the Northeast in the old days, and even today, they are worn by Northeasterners who fish and run mountains.
It is characterized by no front and back, no waistband, easy to walk and sit, suitable for outdoor activities.
The shoes worn by the beard, the big shopkeeper, the four beams and eight pillars and other talkers, the condition is to wear leather boots or boots, which are magnificent, decent, and warm.
If it is a good condition of the dreadlocks, or if you happen to get a big deal, the cub may also have the opportunity to wear leather boots.
But generally speaking, cubs really don't have that condition - mainly because the common people don't have that condition......
Therefore, most of the cubs wear cowhide in winter, which is also a specialty of the Northeast, with the same left and right feet, and the grass is covered in it, which is very warm and has a full cold-proof effect. The disadvantage is that it is ugly and a little heavy......
In the summer, they wear mille-feuille shoes, and sometimes wool boots, which are soft and sweat-absorbing, but not waterproof.
The socks on the feet are usually Korean long socks.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Northeast beard rides horses all the year round, which is cool and damp, so the incidence of hemorrhoids is high, and it is an unspeakable occupational disease - this is actually the same in the previous steppe peoples, but history disdains to record these, and the parties do not want to publicize their unbearable face all over the world.
Thanks to the smart people from Shandong, they invented a kind of "fart protection" in the process of running mountains and digging ginseng all year round, with a length of 40 cm, mainly wolf skin, which can protect the position of the buttocks and crotch, and prevent cold and moisture.

In short, the wearing of beards in the Northeast came from the common people, but it was higher than the common people, and belonged to the predators and consumers who did not do anything to produce.
The common people hate it so much that they are itching at the root of their teeth, but they are helpless.
The editor's grandfather had a very expensive cocoon silk shoulder back then, which was strung with leaves by his beard. Half a century later, it's still lingering......
PS: The bearded head surnamed Xu in Heilongjiang, guess who it is?
