The traditional hairstyle of Han people does not recover.

The reason, I think, may be that two or three hundred years later, the Han nationality at that time had adopted braids as their traditional hairstyle and culture. Think about it. For more than 200 years, the Qing dynasty strictly controlled the writing, and any statements and records that were harmful to its rule would be eliminated, so that after hundreds of years, few people knew what the hairstyle of the Han people was like, and even some Manchu people thought that this hairstyle was handed down from the customs of the Han people. ?

Moreover, the Han people have strong reservations about traditional things and are unwilling to change what is left behind by tradition. Confucius said: Parents with physical problems. This is deeply rooted in the Han people who have endured Confucianism for thousands of years. So once there is a new change, the first reaction is to resist, because this change has changed the original way of life and is rejected by the Han people. ?

The reason why Manchu people lined up to cut their braids was because Manchu people were in an absolutely weak position in the Revolution of 1911, especially those who worked in Qing government organs became the object of revolution, and they were almost in danger. As people close to the people, the Manchu people saw so many powerful Manchu people suffering, and maybe it would be their turn one day, so they had to support the revolution to save their lives. Don't laugh at this practice. In troubled times, both officials and ordinary citizens are trying to save lives. ?

And people at that time thought that the future of the Revolution of 1911 was not clear. If the Revolution of 1911 failed after the braid was cut, it is not clear whether the person who cut the braid will be liquidated by the restored Qing government. In short, it is safest not to cut the braid! Moreover, the braid cutting movement is too advanced and does not meet the people's conceptual needs, so it is resisted by the people. In fact, there is no need to divide Han and Manchu among the people in conflict, all for survival. As the middle and lower classes with no money and no power, they are not qualified to talk about conditions.
