The reason why people cut braids before.

First, editing has become a symbol of the revolution and one of the main achievements of the Revolution of 1911.

Secondly, personal factors include inconvenience, being really ugly and attracting ridicule, and being unsanitary.

Third, the potential factor is that they are dissatisfied with the Manchu rule, because this braid was forced out by the Manchu.

Behind these reasons, it is actually the general trend. After China 1840 and treaty of nanking, China, the relationship between China and the international community entered a treaty relationship, which was determined by international law. China used to be a self-sufficient and closed world, but after the Opium War, we gradually integrated into the world system, especially after the Reform Movement of 1898 (1898) and Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Beijing (1900), the scholar-bureaucrat class promoted reforms, and under internal and external pressure, China faced changes and wanted to integrate into the international community.

Even if you want to change, you can't stop it This is the general trend. Because of the appearance of international students and the dispatch of envoys, exchanges with the international community are becoming more and more frequent. In this kind of contact, you will find that braid is a burden, which has many negative effects, not only a shame mark of Han people being ruled by Manchu, but also a political ethnic inequality, and sports and military training have brought trouble. Besides, it's not hygienic for a man to have such a long braid. It is impossible to wash his hair every day. There are lice in it and it's dirty. All this conflicts with the lifestyle of modern society, not only with the big political lifestyle, but also with the private lifestyle, so the braid can't be cut.
