Why do ancient men in China wear their hair in bunches and curls, while ancient men in foreign countries often wear it?

In ancient China, men wore their hair in bunches and curls because it was required in the Book of Filial Piety, an ancient Confucian school in China. Therefore, in ancient China, they were not allowed to shave their hair at will, and naturally they could not have long hair, which did not conform to the ethical code. It is not very correct to say that ancient foreigners wore their hair, because ancient foreigners had short hair.

It is clearly stated in the Chinese Confucian classic "The Book of Filial Piety" that "the body develops skin and is subject to parents", and the hair is given by parents. Therefore, children should not shave their hair at will, and it is disrespectful to their parents if they shave their hair at will. Just like when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Qing government asked the Han people to shave their hair, but it was strongly opposed. Shaving hair was not accepted by orthodox thoughts in ancient China. Then the long hair naturally needs to be treated. If a man has long hair, it will look nondescript. In addition, in ancient times, because of the lack of water resources, people could not take care of their hair often, and the messy hair did not conform to the Confucian ethics. Bundling hair became the best choice.

So why is it a mistake to say that ancient foreign hair was draped? Looking at ancient foreign portraits, sculptures and murals, we can see that all foreign men showed us short hair, and the famous Julius Caesar and Octavian also had short hair images, and short hair was also the mainstream in the Middle Ages. Including the earliest image of Jesus is short hair, BBC has also restored the image of Jesus, and got the same short-haired man. Even many Christians do not recognize Jesus with long hair.

so why do we have the illusion that ancient foreign men had long hair shawls? This is because there was a French king, Louis XIII. One of the characteristics of this king was that he was bald. In order to maintain his image, Louis XIII began to live with a wig. Later, wigs became popular, so people had the illusion that ancient foreign men wore their hair.
