The widowed husband asked his servant to stand on the towel rack and bathe his son. This shows that ancient nobles had special people to comb their hair. However, in ancient China, "filial piety is the beginning of the world" said: "Parents dare not hurt their hair, so filial piety begins. Standing on the street, leaving your name in the afterlife to show your parents' death and filial piety. "Since the body will not be damaged, why do you need a haircut?

The origin of "haircut"

Hairdressing has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that Fuxi just started knitting. In other words, the hair styles of Han people are different from those of ethnic minorities.

In our country, the word "haircut" didn't exist long ago. It is unfilial to think that "hair" is cut off by parents at will. So both men and women had long hair at that time. A barber is called a barber. In ancient times, it was called waiting pliers. They are usually called barbers and razors.

In ancient times, haircuts were used to soak hair and guide rods. Both men and women should use wooden combs and porous filters. Before the Qing dynasty entered the customs. Han men and women in China wear their hair in a bun. Adults should wear crowns and ties. In order to punish criminals, there are also cases of extorting confessions by torture, which must be done by professional "combs". Because different dynasties have different ways to deal with hair, they have different names, such as "haircut" in the Ming Dynasty, "haircut", "haircut" and "haircut" in the Qing Dynasty.

In the Han dynasty, some craftsmen took haircuts as their profession. Professional hairdressers appeared in the Southern Dynasties. Yan's "Twenty-two Years of Zuo Zhuan Gong" records that "all clothes are smoked and scraped". The word "haircut" first appeared in the literature of the Song Dynasty, and Zhu explained it as "a haircut clipper is also a comb" in the Notes on Family Instructions.

Reasons for the popularity of "haircut"

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, men's wear became a fashion. There is a saying that "in the heyday of the Liang Dynasty, aristocratic children were ignorant and smoked their clothes and shaved their heads, but they were assigned to be officials." Record. It is no exaggeration to say that the boy at that time was a "playboy".

In Lin 'an, Hangzhou, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, there appeared a "net hair salon" focusing on hairdressing. People call barbers "tweezers workers" and "well-informed people". At that time, haircut became a routine. With the popularity of barbershops, hairdressers have also set up barbershop associations and formulated "online notices" to manage the barbershop industry according to law.

Record: "Tweezers work for Qin Gui. Afterwards, Qin Gui gave tweezers 5000 yuan as a reward. Now $5,000 is equivalent to 720 yuan RMB.

"Haircutting" has become a ruling tool.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi fought back strongly and was unstoppable. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Nuzhen entered the customs, and the Ming Dynasty lost power. Nuzhen's bun is not like Han's bun. There is only one hair the size of a copper coin on her head, and the braid has to pass through the square hole of the copper coin to meet the standard. The official name is "Sun Rat Tail".

In order to consolidate the rule and eliminate the rebellious mentality of the Han people, on June 15, the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Regent Dogon issued a "haircut order", requiring the Qing people to cut their hair and braid it within ten days. In the Qing Dynasty, the compulsory tonsure system became a part of the national will.

In the fourth year of Shunzhi, the Qing dynasty implemented a tonsure order in Guangzhou: "Sunkumurinus is the elegant government of the new dynasty; Death is not a good rule. A poem written by Gu in the late Ming Dynasty said, "It is better to be born in China than to die in China. ".Han people expressed strong dissatisfaction with the haircut order, and all parts of the country rose up in opposition. The Qing army carried out ten Yangzhou conferences, three Jiading conferences, the August 1st Dalian massacre and other brutal massacres.

It is inevitable that the masses will shave their heads. When the weather is fine, the barber shaves the emperor's head. There must be three special skills:

First of all, the left hand is armed with a haircut, and the right hand cannot be lightly pressed on the emperor's head.

Second, just scrape forward, not backward.

Third, hold your breath when shaving your head. Don't let the polluted air pollute the dragon's body.

When things pay off, things will become irrational.

Regular haircut can prevent hair from splitting, help metabolism and keep hair shiny and smooth. A haircut seems like a trivial matter, but it is actually a person's pursuit of beauty, which can reflect a person's mental outlook.
