Names of ancient men's hair binding tools

In ancient times, men tied their hair in many forms, including hairpin, crown, crown, needle and hairpin. Generally, the hair is tied up and combed first, then tied up with a hair ring, that is, a bun is formed, then the bun is tied firmly with a hairpin, and finally a crown or towel is put on.

Hairpins are made of gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stones and even wood, bones and ivory. With the development of the times, hollowing out, carving and inlaying are becoming more and more exquisite, but men are simpler than women, and the length of hairpins is longer than women.

In ancient times, both men and women had to have long hair. When men reach a certain age, they will hold an "adult" ceremony. When a man is crowned, he puts his hair in a bun, which is called a "knot", and then puts on his hat.

Men's hair accessories include "crown", "headscarf", "yang" and the emperor's "crown" in addition to tying hair. In the Ming dynasty, the hair ornaments on the head were still a symbol of status, and ordinary people had to tie their hair and wear square headscarves.

The reason why ancient men had long hair.

First, the ancients thought that parents who were physically injured did not dare to hurt them, and filial piety began. It is unfilial to damage the body without authorization. In ancient times, unfilial behavior was severely punished by criminal law.

In the Qin dynasty, not being filial to parents was a capital crime; In the Han dynasty, unfilial sons were executed by owl!

Secondly, the ancient criminal law called shaving "the punishment of cutting off all or part of the hair", which was one of the five major punishments in ancient China. It is a humiliating punishment, which was mainly popular in China from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Qiu refers to shaving the prisoner's hair and beard. Qiu punishment is a kind of punishment imposed on prisoners in the form of personality insult. The ancients thought that parents who suffered from skin pain did not dare to destroy it, and filial piety began! So it's a pity to shave his hair. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism prevailed. Because it was a big unfilial act for Buddhists to shave their heads and not get married, people at that time despised them as "Kun people".

In ancient times, there was a story about Cao Cao cutting his head and changing his head: that is, when he was marching, Cao Cao gave an order not to trample on farmland, and he wanted to protect farmers. If his horse stepped on the wheat field, it would be a crime of decapitation, so all Cao Cao's cavalry dismounted and walked carefully, holding the horse in one hand and protecting the wheat in the other.

Cao Cao didn't dismount himself (a pheasant flew out of the ground), so the horse was surprised and jumped into the wheat field. Cao Cao's horse trampled on the wheat field. Cao Cao dismounted at once, called the military judge and said, What shall we do?

The military judge said, beheaded. Cao Cao said you should be put to death. Anyway, there is this tradition in ancient times. If the commander-in-chief can't punish the doctor, treat Shu Ren with courtesy and apply the law to the venerable one, he can't be beheaded.

Cao Cao said there was nothing he could do, so he cut his hair. He drew his sword, cut off a hair and threw it on the ground, indicating that he had been punished.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a fashion of showing off hair in society. Anyone with thick hair will walk straight. At that time, both men and women dreamed of having long black hair, and bald people with less hair were considered ugly.

The ancestors in the Spring and Autumn Period combed their hair every day, washed their hair for three days, and stopped cutting their hair as adults. In addition, adult men supplement their hair with wigs. At that time, people attached great importance to thick hair, and wigs were used to visually increase the weight of hair. The amount of hair is also regarded as a measure of a person's virtue.
