During the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Youwei put forward "Please break your hair and change your clothes into yuan folds", which was the first time to bring braiding into the court for discussion. He thinks braid is a symbol of backwardness and barbarism, and the inconvenience caused may affect the industrial development of China. Tan Sitong, who is close to Kang Youwei's position, also thinks that western men's hairstyles are the most ideal standards, while Liang Qichao cut off his braids while traveling to Hawaii and Australia. However, stubborn conservatives believe that braiding is against the patriarchal clan system and will condone the anti-Qing revolution. Revolutionaries are eager to cut their braids because the contempt of foreigners has aroused their sense of shame. Zou Rong's famous work "Revolutionary Army" mentioned that China people walked in the streets of London and Tokyo with long braids, and pedestrians called them drag slaves.
