If you have a newborn in your family, you will always be asked to "sleep with a flat head".
When walking with their children, some grandparents point to the back of their children's heads and brag that their heads are so flat, but they have slept with a new dictionary.
"Sleeping flat head" is usually before the child is two years old, unlike animals, human newborns skull, in the two years after birth, will slowly close, there is a gap on the most obvious, called "fontanel".
It is the existence of the "fontanel" that makes the baby's head shape can be changed under the influence of external forces, which is the reason why the sleeping flat head effect.
The custom of "sleeping with a flat head" can be traced back 5,000 years to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, a Chen Korea.
According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, "(Tatsuhan) when a child is born and wants to flatten his head, he is put on a stone", Tatsuhan babies were born with stones in the back of their heads while they slept in order to flatten the head of the baby.
The Wei Zhi also confirms this custom: "When a child is born in Chen Korea, a stone is pressed against his head to make it flat, and all Chen Koreans have flat heads today."
This was only recorded as an anecdote at the time, and really began to flourish during the Qing Dynasty.
Since the Manchus originated in the Changbai Mountains, which are adjacent to Tatsu Korea, the custom flowed into the Manchus as well. So this custom also flowed into the Manchu tribes, in the "Manchurian origin and flow of the examination" recorded "the old custom of the state dynasty, the child was born a few months, placed in the lying down, so that the child to sleep on their backs, and for a long time and the brain bone since the flat, the head shaped like a plaque, the guy is practiced naturally, nothing different."
The first time the Manchu people were born in the Qing Dynasty, they were born in the Changbai Mountains.
The Cao clan of the Manchu tribe in Xiuyan, Liaoning Province, has a legend that has been passed down from mouth to mouth, that there was a scholar in the Cao clan's ancestry, and that when he went to Beijing to take the exams, because of the flatness of his head, he couldn't hold on to his hat, the examiner suspected that there was something wrong with his head, and he was expelled from the exam room.
To the second examination, he will be stuffed in the back of the head of the cloth ball position, which held up the hat, and ultimately won the examination.
At first, this "sleeping flat head" custom was only circulated within the Manchu, since the Qing dynasty Guangxu years, Cixi issued the abolition of ethnic segregation policy, allowing intermarriage between Manchurians and Han Chinese, this tradition has really begun to circulate in the whole of China.
According to the aesthetics of the time, "sleeping flat head" can make young children's temples protruding, the temples will follow the two sides of the bulge, resulting in a typical "full heaven, the earth cabinet square round" face, in today's view, that is, the "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head", "sleeping flat head".
