history

Before the Qing dynasty, "haircut" meant bathing and combing your hair, not modern haircut and shaving. Men and women should use combs and grates. Before Manchu entered the customs. Both Han men and women wear their hair in a bun. When they come of age, they should be crowned and tied with ropes. The punishment of criminals, as well as the punishment of removing only the sideburns, requires special "comb workers"

Because of the different methods of cleaning and hygienic treatment of hair in different dynasties, there are different names, such as "grate head" in Ming Dynasty, "shaving head" in Qing Dynasty, and "shaving head" and "pushing head".
