Generally speaking, it is a realistic portrayal of many hot-blooded men in the Qing Dynasty.
Different from the hot-blooded men of other dynasties, the long black braids on their heads are sometimes more eye-catching than women's hair accessories.
Men in the Qing Dynasty had to braid their hair. What is the effect on baldness and baldness?
First, the "haircut order" has privileges.
"The body is a skin injury, and parents dare not hurt it." Influenced by Confucianism, it is considered unfilial for Han people to shave their hair.
In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to attack the beliefs of the Han people and weaken their rebellious consciousness, the Qing government issued a "haircut order".
Through the means of "decapitation by disobedient people", all ethnic groups under his rule were forced to shave Manchu hair styles, that is, the hair on the head should be shaved off in a large area, leaving only a handful of hair on the top and back of the head tied into braids.
This order limits the time for haircut. If 10 days does not shave, or does not meet the official standards, hell will pay and even be beheaded.
Special circumstances and special treatment, the shaving order allows bald men to push on both sides, and bald men do not need to braid their hair, provided they are obedient.
Bald and bald people's heads are already shining in a large area, and they are also relieved in this haircut movement. Bald people, in particular, just can't reach the official standard of "leaving two braids on their heads".
Second, the evolution of the mid-term braid.
With the gradual unification and stability of the forces in the Qing Dynasty, the regulations on shaving were relaxed, and the braid was changed from the previous two to one on the top of the head.
Moreover, the range of hair can be larger. At this time, the braid is bigger, drooping, more generous and decent, not as petty as in the previous period.
For bald people, only a small part of the hair behind the back of the head needs to be shaved, and braids can still be braided.
For bald people, it doesn't matter much, but it saves the time and smartness of braiding.
Third, the later system is loose.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, shaving became more and more loose, so it was enough for a man to shave off the first half of his hair, and all the hair at the back of his head was braided together to form a long big braid.
You can braid your hair and meditate, or practice martial arts around it. Big braid has also become a special landscape for men in the Qing Dynasty.
With the growth of time, the relationship between Manchu and Han nationalities has become more and more harmonious, and the troubles and frictions in society have naturally decreased, and braiding has become a habit.
As for baldness, it doesn't matter, as long as there is no contradiction.
The times are changing, and the braid scenery of the Qing Dynasty gradually fades out of the historical stage, becoming a record of historical books and a topic for future generations after dinner.
