Guangxi regions What are the characteristics of the Zhuang headdresses?

The Zhuang men and women had different hairstyles in different historical periods. From the cliff paintings of Huashan in Guangxi, it can be seen that the early Zhuang men had short haircuts. On the cliff paintings, there are a few men with two plumes dancing in the wind on their heads. There are a few young girls with long braids on the paintings, and one girl's hair is adorned with a mountain flower. Ancient books record that the ancestral hair of the Zhuang people also had a cape, as well as an inverted conch bun-shaped chignon.

The Tang Dynasty, men still "dew hair" (broken hair), the woman bun hanging in the back, with three or four inches of bamboo diagonally across them. Song Dynasty Zhuang region popular bun. The Qing Dynasty forced small towns and people who studied and became officials to keep long braids. But village men still cut their hair, ignoring the Qing ban.

After 1949, women's hair ornaments around the world still maintain certain characteristics. For example, elderly women in Longsheng, Guangxi, turned their long hair over the top of their heads, swirled it, and then wrapped it in four feet of black cloth. Young women keep long hair at the top of the head, cut it into obeisance all around, turn the top center of the long hair to the forehead, tie it with white cloth and insert a silver comb. The girl's hair is first shaved, wearing a grandmother to send the silver ornamental cap, grow up before leaving the top of the heart hair. These hairstyles, obviously the legacy of the ancient cloak and dagger.
