In the eyes of young people, tattoos are a fashion. Why don't old people in China like young people's tattoos?

Nowadays, young people are more and more open-minded, more and more receptive to new things and like many novel things. Like tattoos, it has become a fashion and is accepted by more and more people.

But old people don't like tattoos, and they think that tattooed people are bastards. Dirty, why is this?

In fact, this has a lot to do with the ancient historical background. There were tattoos in ancient times, but tattoos are a kind of punishment. They are used on prisoners, leaving a permanent mark on prisoners' bodies and faces, so that people can understand these criminals at a glance. This mark is called ink punishment, and you can't get rid of it if you leave it on your body.

In the Water Margin, Song Jiang was punished by ink because of his crime. But Song Jiang is a very conservative person, and he doesn't want to leave this insulting brand all his life. So he put a lot of thought into removing the mark on his face.

People in the Song Dynasty were ashamed of ink punishment, but Song officials grasped the psychology of ordinary people, and with the continuous development of time, it was even extended that more than 500 kinds of crimes could be punished with this ink punishment. Therefore, the ink punishment left a very big shadow in people's hearts at that time.

After the Yuan Dynasty, people felt that tattooing on their faces greatly affected their appearance, so they began to change the tattoos on their arms or backs. In the Qing dynasty, the criminal law was restored to its original state, and words were tattooed on the face, such as robbers or thieves.

Although we have come out of the feudal society now, for the elderly, they are still educated in the feudal era or heard from the previous generation, so they still have a bad impression on tattoos.
