To be exquisite, the art of tattooing can be regarded as having a long history in the history of Greater China.
In fact, it started in the Zhou Dynasty, and I don't know which official in the Zhou Dynasty who was full of food and had nothing to do invented the "punishment". It's you who stab a word in your face when you commit a crime, indicating "I'm a thief" and "I'm a hooligan".
Popular tattoos in the Song Dynasty have historical facts
However, in the Song Dynasty, it actually became a trend culture, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, in the early years, disco was not also regarded as a group of demons to dance, anyway, in the end it became a trend, yes, tattoos were also so popular in the Song Dynasty.
If you don't believe it, let's examine a few examples.
Let's talk about the big celebrity Yue Fei first! In order to show his determination to resist gold, he used his body as a canvas and directly tattooed the well-known slogan "Serve the country with loyalty", by the way, Yue Fei's back tattoo is "Serve the country with loyalty" rather than "serve the country with loyalty". If you don't believe it, you can ask the tattoo artist at the time, Yue Fei, and her mother. Of course, there is a second way to research, to take a look at "History of the Song Dynasty".
After talking about Yue Fei, let's pan the camera back to "Water Margin", Yan Qing, the most literary and artistic hipster on the beam, and the flower clusters all over her body are absolutely heartwarming.
How attractive his tattoos are, take the famous Li Shishi at that time, she saw Yan Qing's tattoo, and her heart was even more vibrant, after all, it was a beautiful sashimi made by the master of the Song Dynasty: landscape paintings on the chest, arms and blue birds on the back. At that time, Master Li couldn't help but reach out and touch it, the kind that went directly to his upper body, but Yan Qing had to have strong willpower and knew how to endure it, otherwise it would be another romantic story.
Let's take a look at one of the four famous novels "Water Margin", among the one hundred and eight generals in it, several of them have tattoos, let's count them: Shi Jin, a nine-tattooed dragon with a tattoo, his nickname also came from this, the second one is tattooed with a blue indigo tattoo embroidered with flowers, and the person has a good appearance of the sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong, followed by the flower monk Lu Zhishen is also a tattoo, and the young man Ruan Xiaowu with a leopard tattoo on his body, and Gong Wang, who has a flying gun to go all over the world, he is a flower tiger with a tabby tattoo all over his body.
Tattoos have become a trend, and in a fight, you have to compare whose tattoos are prettier
In this way, tattoos became a trend in the Song Dynasty, and the aesthetically picky Song Dynasty people began to look at this art squarely. According to a Song Dynasty script, before two people fight, they directly wear bright tattoos, first show off their postures, at least the tattoos cannot be worse than their opponents, and earn the attention of the audience. The book said: Zheng Xin took off his shirt, and everyone cheered. First of all, he has outstanding talents, and he is full of carvings: three immortals fighting swords on his left arm, and five ghosts and dragons on his right arm; A royal screen is set on the chest, and the Bashan dragon is out of the water on the back. Xia pulled the donkey and took off his shirt, and when everyone took a look, the guy was tattooed with a wooden ladder, and Huang Fat'er endured the word. At the moment, the two are fighting in the garden, betting on winning and losing.
No, before the fight, let's compare and see who has a beautiful tattoo, which is also a very ornamental picture. The sashimi surnamed Zheng is beautiful, everyone applauds, and the surname Xia is bare and forbearance, which is despised.
In the Song Dynasty, compared to tattoos, the more the better, the more beautiful the better, not only men like it, but women also love it if they tattoo well.
There is such an example, a girl in a green house in the Southern Song Dynasty went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and just arrived at the gate of the temple and met a strong man who was a soldier. This strong man is 1.8 meters tall, he is a muscular man, and the key is that these two thighs are tattooed. The girl in the Qinglou was fascinated by this tattoo on the spot, and she had to make friends with this military master, and she loved it very much.
This is actually not surprising, in our Southern Song Dynasty there is also a community dedicated to accepting tattoo people, this is the Song Dynasty's "Jin Sports Group", so that the Song Dynasty tattoo-loving young men and women found an organization, and even some Song Dynasty ** also liked tattoos and were proud of tattoos. Wang Hugong, the squire of the military department, had a hundred birds and finches tattooed all over his body; There is also Li Bangyan, the prodigal prime minister who has to perform tattoos every time he invites others, likes tattoos, but he doesn't dare to get tattoos, so he has to find a piece of silk cloth and paint patterns on his body like stickers, just to catch up with the trend.
The children of the royal family also love tattoos
In this way, the people on the street have learned, and they are not shy in broad daylight, and they are very honorably shirtless, getting tattoos, and everyone is bibi, which may be the fine inheritance that Chinese like to be shirtless now.
*, the common people have become popular in these two classes of tattoo culture, and it looks quite beautiful, the royal class with noble blood can not sit still, young royal children have said that they want to join the tattoo organization, but also to catch up with the fashion, who does not love such a beautiful tattoo. For this matter, Song ** at that time had a headache, and he didn't want to have a royal face, so he sent an official document several times: The clan ** can't get tattoos.
