What was on Gege's head in Qing Dynasty?

This is a flag head.

The flag head mainly refers to the hairstyle of Manchu women. The hairstyle of Manchu married women is mostly bun. The flag head is developed from the "two heads". Because it became popular after entering the customs, people also called it "Dajingxiang".

Generally, it is worn on two combs made of real hair, which together with * * * constitute an exaggerated sophomore shape. The common large pull wing is a fan-shaped hollow hard shell, about one foot high, with a circular hoop the size of the head circumference below.

The frame is made of iron wire, the tire is made of cloth (multilayer cloth bonded with paste), and the surface is wrapped with black satin or flannel. Silk flower, hairpin, hairpin and other decorations can be inserted on the surface of big wings, and sometimes tassels are hung on the side.

Big pull wing, also known as Dajingyang, Big Rollover, Big pull wing, Big pull wing, Seven-head, Seven-head plate, etc. It is a kind of headdress popular among women in Manchu and Qing palaces in the late Qing Dynasty. It is a plate-shaped crown, showing a towering style like a memorial arch. The big wings are fixed on the head with flat hairpins when in use, and can be taken off when not in use.

Extended data:

The development of "Ertou" is getting higher and higher, and it is almost impossible for the later "Ertou" to use real hair, so it is imitated with wigs, which are really made of green satin (which is also the most common in our TV series now), and there is even a business of Ertou on the street.

Where did the well-known super-large Hua Shuang head shape come from in the Qing Palace drama? First of all, these two tall heads must be the product of the Republic of China. Ordinary flag bearers would not walk around the road wearing such striking flowers. At this time, the two heads are not only bigger, but also the flowers and the decorations below are more dramatic.

At present, the modeling of the two heads in the Qing Palace Opera can never be traced back to the Republic of China, because they were born in Beijing Opera. Beijing opera has always had the habit of displaying foreign nationalities with flag clothes (no matter what dynasty, flag clothes are always worn). Because the "double-headed" lifestyle almost ceased to exist in real life in the late Republic of China, the style of Peking Opera was stuck at this time.
