New traditional tattoos filled Rebecca.

I believe that most post-80s and post-90s people have watched the famous gangster series "Young and Dangerous" in Hong Kong, regardless of its influence. But almost everyone in the movie, from the protagonist to the villain, from the eldest brother to the younger brother, will have tattoos like dragons and tigers to represent their identity as vagrants.

Let's talk about tattoos. Tattoos first appeared in history as a punishment. For example, Ying Bu, the king of Huainan during the hegemony between Chu and Han, was sentenced to hang when he was young, so he was also called Qing Bu.

During the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, tattoos often appeared on sergeant and Jianghu people. For example, Guo Wei, the emperor at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, had a bird tattooed on his neck, named Guo Queer. He also succeeded in confusing his opponent, Liu Chong, and said to the messenger, "Has there been a carving of Qing Di since ancient times?" Fortunately, no one doubted me. "

Di Qing, a famous soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty, was drafted into the army when he was young and had tattoos on his face. After his appearance, he also inspired all men in the world, and the hero did not ask the source. Many Liangshan heroes in Water Margin also had tattoos, which was a folk trend at that time. For example, the flower monk Lu, the nine-grain dragon Shi Jin and the prodigal Yan Qing are all embroidered, and even the famous prostitute Li Shishi fell for it.

But now tattoos are more of a rebellious expression that young people think is cool, not in mainstream aesthetics. If someone tattooed the so-called "make a comeback" and there are typos, it can only be said that it is ridiculous and generous.

Looking back at history, many related anecdotes have been recorded in various ancient books. Now I'll extract one or two and share them.

More ancient and modern news, all in the "mountains and seas"!

"Youyang Miscellaneous Volume 8": The hooligans in the streets of Chang 'an City like to be unconventional, lose all their hair and get tattoos all over their bodies. Tattoo patterns are varied.

Relying on their good relations with Chang 'an defenders, they plundered and ran amok in the streets, even blocking pubs in droves and fighting with sheep's shoulder bones.

Later, after Jing and Xue came to power, they hated this gang so much that they ordered the viceroy to arrest it quietly and arrested about 30 people. The ancient version of "eliminating evils" is really enjoyable.

After Xue caught these people, after some interrogation and punishment, he killed them all with wooden sticks and put them on the market to warn everyone. After this incident came out, all the tattooed people were scared to burn with wormwood.

At that time, there was a brave man named Zhang Qian in Daningfang, and his arm was tattooed with the words "Life is not afraid of Jing, death is not afraid". There is also a man named Wang Linu, who spent 5,000 yuan stabbing the green hills in his chest and abdomen, courtyards and balconies, and flowers, birds and animals are lifelike, just like a picture scroll. Finally, they were all killed by Jing and Xue for breaking the law.

Sigh: the so-called "not afraid of life, not afraid of death" is not just a knife in the body. Only by obeying the law and having a clear conscience can we do this.

Youyang Miscellanies Volume 8: Li, Yuan, who worked in Chengdu in his later years. At that time, there was a gangster named Zhao Gao in the Chengdu market (this name, haha, refers to a deer as a horse). He likes to make trouble and fight with others on weekdays, and he is often arrested and imprisoned because he is a bully in the local area.

Because Zhao Gao's back was tattooed with the image of the King of Pishamen, the people in the previous dynasties dared not hit him for fear of offending the statue of the King of Heaven. That's what Zhao Gao did, and he took jail as a joke.

About cronies told Li Hou about it, and Li was so angry that he personally ordered Zhao Gao to be caught in the court, and then used a new hard wooden stick with a thickness of three inches to severely beat Zhao Gao, almost knocking out the statue of the king on his back.

However, what I didn't expect was that ten days later, Zhao Gao actually ran into the street again, took off his coat to show his back, knocked on the door from door to door, and begged for money to repair the statue of the king of heaven ~ Haha, what a concentrated ruffian, very vivid image.

Sigh: Again, tattoos are not amulets. Only by obeying the law can we finish what we started.
