Liangshan heroes are full of meat, why do they always love to wear a flower?Why do they love beauty so much?
I believe everyone has read the Chinese classic masterpiece "Water Margin", 10 years ago, the presentation of this epic masterpiece in the classic TV series "Water Margin" has been completed, but compared with the 94 version of "Water Margin", there is still a certain gap, but from the current point of view, this is also a classic masterpiece, because the battle scene of the new version of "Water Margin" is indeed on the shooting site, and the various customs and customs of the Song Dynasty are also portrayed quite well.
However, there is one thing that everyone is not very interested in, many people in "Water Margin" like to wear flowers on their heads. In fact, everyone has a love for beauty, and wearing flowers on a woman's head is not a thing in itself, on the contrary, wearing flowers can attract the attention of others, which is undoubtedly the highest praise for womenOf course, in those days, it had to be done with care, otherwise both men and women would be arrested.
But in the new "Water Margin", we see men wearing flowers on their heads. For example, when Pan Jinlian seduced Ximen Qing, she wore flowers on her head, and Chai Jin did the same, and Cai Fu and Cai Qing, who had a very low status on Liangshan, also liked to wear flowers.
One can't help but ask?What is this operation?If a woman wears flowers on her head to make herself beautiful, men probably won't do it, right?No matter how beautiful a person is, many people don't like beauty, do they?
Do men in the Song Dynasty like to wear flowers on their heads?
In fact, this kind of behavior of wearing flowers on the head is not really a love of beauty. In ancient times, men wearing flowers on their heads were called wigs, and at that time, both men and women, young and old, rich or poor, liked to wear flowers on their heads, as we mentioned earlier, in "Water Margin", we can see all kinds of examples, such as Chai Jin, Ximen Qing, Cai Qing,'Single flower'！Wait a minute.
In the recently hit court drama "Qingping Le", we can also see that Zhang Guifei wears a flower crown on every important festival, and the concubines in Emperor Renzong's harem also wear flower crowns on every important holiday.
From the examples of "Water Margin" and "Qingping Le", it can be seen that the custom of wearing hairpins has become a trend for both men and women, young and old, so how did this custom become popular?And what is its morality?
The moral significance of wearing a hairpin on the head.
In fact, the custom of wearing a hairpin on the head has a lot in common with the Chongyang Festival in ancient China, the Chongyang Festival is also an important festival in ancient China, and its importance can be said to be no less than today's Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood"。Therefore, during the Double Ninth Festival at that time, the Tujia people wore a flower on their heads. The aborigines believe that dogwood has a strong smell and that wearing it on the head can play a role in warding off diseases and evil spirits. This is also one of the reasons why people wear dogwood during the Chung Yeung Festival.
However, during the Chung Yeung Festival, the flowering period of nanmu has ended, and there is only one flower position left of the nanmu worn on people's heads, so no matter how it is worn, it will not be particularly eye-catching. Therefore, during the Chung Yeung Festival, the Song people at that time wore chrysanthemums on their heads to highlight the festivity of the festival. For example, Su Dongpo wrote in "Fixing the Storm - Chongyang"."It's hard to open your mouth to see the world. Youngster. Chrysanthemums can only be returned when the head is full"。
In addition, the custom of wearing flowers on the head in the Song Dynasty also had a certain connection with the royal family. In the Song Dynasty, the inner courtyard of the imperial palace was always decorated with various flowers on major festivals, and in the celebration of the Double Ninth Festival, there was an extremely important link, that is, the emperor gave flowers to the hundred officials, implying that the emperor prayed for the blessings of the hundred officials.
So under the oppression of the king, it will cause the effect of unifying the heart, and the appearance of flower arrangement on the hair has gradually become a trend, and then not only the Double Ninth Festival, ordinary people will arrange flowers in their hair every major festival, such as men will arrange flowers when they get married, and they must be good people and so on.
Later, not only on major festivals, but also often wore hairpins, a custom that became popular during the Song Dynasty and eventually affected not only the Song Dynasty, but also the neighboring states of Liao and Jin.
History of Liao:'Those who give festivals (scholars) also give hairpins'。Jin Shi - Empress Benji":"The ministers, the wife of the suzerain, etc., are one of the banquets, teaching the music workshop, such as wine, food, and hairpins"。It can be seen that the custom of inserting hairpins has a very far-reaching influence, and wearing hairpins on the head is not the real good behavior of Liangshan heroes, but only a popular behavior at that time.
