The custom of keeping hair without a head in the Qing Dynasty Does the Mediterranean or baldness lead to head killing?
Before entering the customs, it was practiced in the Qing Dynasty"Shaving order"policy, requiring the conquered Han Chinese and the Ming generals to change their hairstyles as a sign of obedience. However, after entering the customs, it was loosened again, and it was not until after the capture of Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou that the regent Dolgon proposed rectification after taking office"Shaving order", strictly enforced"There is a head without hair, and there is hair without a head"'s high-pressure policy, and it's been strict again and again. In"Shaving is not as good as decapitation"In the implementation of the policy, if the shaving is not up to standard, it means killing the head. So, what should people who lost their hair in the Qing Dynasty do?
from"Rat's tail"to"Yin and yang heads", changes in hairstyles during the Qing Dynasty.
The braided hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be one of our deepest memories of the Qing Dynasty, but due to the influence of film and television dramas, we always think that the hairstyle of men in the Qing Dynasty is"Yin and yang heads"In fact, the hairstyles of men in the Qing Dynasty actually changed over time, in the early Qing Dynasty"Money rat tail", in the middle of the Qing Dynasty"Pig tail"and the late Qing Dynasty"Yin and yang heads"began to appear. The Qing Dynasty began to appear in the early Qing Dynasty"Money rat tail", which began to appear in the middle of the Qing Dynasty"Pig tail", which began to appear in the late Qing Dynasty"Yin and yang heads"。
Early Qing Dynasty"Money rat tail": Shave off most of your hair, leaving only a small handful of thumb-thick hair at the back of your head, and roll it into a rope to hang behind your head. Since this strand of hair is only the size of a coin, like a rat's tail, it is figuratively called"Money rat tail"(as shown in the image above). However, due to frequent hair shaving and the outbreak of civil unrest, the Qing court had to adjust its hair shaving policy and began to gradually transfer a piece of hair from the back of the head to the top of the head, but the storage space for the hair was still only a thin lock.
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty"Pig tail": After a long struggle, in the early years of Jiaqing, the men's hairstyle changed again, this time the hair on the top of the head was partially retained, but the accumulation area of the hair increased to a certain extent, from the size of a coin to the surface of the palm. Therefore, this hairstyle is also figuratively called"Pig tail"。
Late Qing Dynasty"Yin and yang heads": After Jiaqing, the male hair area continued to grow, gradually evolving to shave off a few centimeters of hair on the top of the head, and at the same time, in order to maintain medium-long hair, three strands of hair were braided into a braid to cover the back of the head, called braids or slippers, which is also what we often see in film and television dramas"Yin and yang heads"Causes. Above.
Hair loss and baldness are really nothing to worry about, what should I do?
In view of the above changes in hairstyles in the Qing Dynasty, hair loss and dandruff in the Qing Dynasty certainly did not attract attention for three reasons:
1.Braiding doesn't require a lot of hair. Whether it was from the early Qing Dynasty"Money Rat", or from the Qing Dynasty"Pig tail"Since the storage space of the hair is relatively small, the hair on the top of the head will be removed, even if it is not as difficult as the entire top of the head, leaving a small handful of hair on the back of the head is not a difficult task, and it is enough to weave a slipper. Even in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, there is no need to worry about whether you can braid your hair as you did in the early middle of the Middle Dynasty because of severe hair loss, after all, this is a hairstyle that was once all the rage, and it has been rewarded by the imperial court.
2.Alopecia areata has little effect on the back of the head. Alopecia areata and alopecia on the top of the head are mainly hair loss on the forehead and top of the head, and the back of the head is generally relatively safe, and the hair growth sites in the Qing Dynasty are mainly concentrated on the top of the head and the back of the head. Therefore, hair loss and the crown of the head do not have much effect on holding braids.
3.If the hair loss is severe, you can also wear fake slippers. If the hair loss was really serious and the whole hair fell out, the businessmen at that time also took this into account, it turned out that in the Qing Dynasty, businessmen would make fake braids. If the hair loss is really severe, the solution is also to tie the fake tendons.
4.The ideology of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. Except in the early Qing Dynasty, the rulers didn't really care much about their hairstyles, as long as they followed the haircut system and wore appropriate clothes, which also suggests that the Manchu rulers may have had an attitude of support for Manchu rule. In fact, the Qing rulers also took the issue of hair loss into account, so they allowed some bald or bald people to shave only the sides of their hair and not have to keep too much hair.
In short, in the Qing Dynasty, people with hair loss and baldness actually didn't have to worry, because there were more ** methods at that time, and they didn't have to worry about being beheaded.
