What were Ming Dynasty hairstyles like? What hairstyles were Chinese during the Ming Dynasty?

During the Ming Dynasty, women's hairstyles were mainly peach buns, double snail buns, wigs, and headbands. Among them, the peach bun was a popular hairstyle at that time, its shape was similar to a peach, showing a large shape at the top and small at the bottom, with a good decorative effect. The double snail bun is a symmetrical hairstyle, which is combed into a high bun first, and then combed on each side of the snail bun, which is usually worn by young girls, maids, maids, etc.

A wig is a hairstyle made of woven wigs, which is darker in color and is generally used for formal occasions. Headbands are used to comb the hair into thin braids and tie it up with a headband, and are usually used in the hairstyles of working people.

For men, there were also some different hairstyles during the Ming Dynasty. Working people usually wore their hair in three or two buns, while scholars, scholars, and officials and nobles usually wore their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, while their hair was fixed with a net scarf. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also appeared in a hairstyle known as "shaving the head", that is, the hair on the top of the head was shaved off, leaving only the hair at the back of the head, and this hairstyle has gradually evolved into hairstyles such as "bancun" in modern times.

A kind of high updo, this style is popular in Suzhou. Men: Working people wear their hair in three or two buns at the back of their heads, and scholars, talents, and officials and aristocrats generally tie their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and wrap a net towel around their heads to fix their hair.

But there is no difference in terms of hairstyle, almost all of them are combed up, and then wear a hat or a bun, maybe the slight difference is that the Song Dynasty mostly used hard hats and the Ming Dynasty mostly used soft hats. In ancient China, except for Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, men's hairstyles were all buns, and when they were young, they would make a bun on each side of their heads; After the coming-of-age ceremony, the hair will be combed back in a bun above the head, and when there are bald people, it will also be coiled up to make it look like a bun; In addition, men all have beards, and ancient poetry often uses horns and so on to describe boys.

In the Ming Dynasty, Chinese hairstyles differed according to their status, region, and cultural factors.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, men's hairstyles did not change much on the basis of following the Song and Yuan dynasties. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, adult men gradually wore their hair in a bun of three or two strands at the back of their heads. Scholars, scholars, and officials and aristocrats wore their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and at the same time used a net towel to hold their hair in place, and this hairstyle was often seen as a status symbol.

For women, the style of women's hair buns did not change much in the early Ming Dynasty, but after Jiajing, with the addition of new aesthetic elements, there were gradually many new changes in women's hair styles in the Ming Dynasty. For example, a loose sideburns bun is a unique style of hair that is flattened and rounded, with the sideburns hanging from the cheeks and almost covering both ears. Symmetrical double-hair is also a common hairstyle wheel, mostly combed by girls, maids, and maids, that is, the hair is divided into two large strands on the top of the head, and then combed on the left and right sides to form a relatively symmetrical bun or mustache.

In addition, as a hairstyle accessory for men in the Ming Dynasty, the appearance of the net towel further consolidated the gender characteristics of men and strengthened the social status and social expectations of men.

In general, during the Ming Dynasty, Chinese hairstyles were diverse and rich, reflecting certain cultural, social and gender differences.

During the Ming Dynasty, Chinese men had long hair, and women also had long hair, and at that time, both men and women did not have haircuts, and they also habitually had long hair.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of adult men's arguments gradually disappeared, and the general slag working people pulled their hair into three or two buns at the back of their heads, and scholars, talents, officials and nobles generally knotted their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and they also had to wrap a net towel around their heads to fix their hair. Not everyone is the same!!

In the Ming Dynasty, the average working people were the first to tie their hair into three or two buns at the back of their heads, and scholars, talents, officials and nobles generally tied their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and they also had to wrap a net towel around their heads to fix their hair.

Although the hair ornaments of women in the Ming Dynasty were not as rich as those in the Song Dynasty, they also had many characteristics.

In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, the famous Taizu, was proclaimed emperor in Yingtian and established the country. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a series of practical measures were adopted to facilitate the resumption of production. As a result of increased productivity, further expansion of markets, and the emergence of new types of industry, a number of industrial cities were formed, and the unified multi-ethnic State was further consolidated.

After the Ming Dynasty seized power from the Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty, it paid attention to the rectification of etiquette that did not conform to the customs of the Han people, and adopted and restored the systems and customs of the Tang and Song dynasties. Judging from the collected data, although the hairstyles of women in the Ming Dynasty were not as rich and diverse as those in the Tang and Song dynasties, they also had some characteristics of their own era.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the hairstyle of the Song and Yuan dynasties was basically inherited, and after Jiajing, the women's hairstyle changed significantly, and the "peach heart bun" was the more fashionable hairstyle at that time, and the women's hair bun was combed into a flat circle, and then decorated with flowers on the top of the bun. Later, it evolved into a filigree tie, and the hair was combed high. The top of the bun is also decorated with jewels, jade, jade, etc.

The "peach blossom bun" has a variety of deformed hairstyles, such as "peach spire bun", "goose gall bun" and imitation of the "fallen horse bun" of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, there are several small mustaches overlapping behind the bun, slightly tilted sideways, and the shape is extremely delicate.

Double screw. The double snail bun of the Ming Dynasty is similar to the snail bun of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When it is called "handle", it is a simple and generous hairstyle preferred by women in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the girl ring combs this bun more, its bun style is rich and changeable, and popular among folk women.

Double screw. wigs;

Also known as the mustache, it was loved by the maids and women in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was a saying that "palace maids have high updos, and folk like low updos". Most of these wigs are antique, and they are made by first braiding them with wire and then weaving them into the hair to become a kind of makeup to be used.

The late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty were particularly fashionable, and in some jewelry stores, there were ready-made wigs**.

Headbands. Also known as "Epa". In the Ming Dynasty, both old women and young women were very popular.

One said that the headband evolved from the original "Baotou", originally braided with zongzi silk and became a net hair, the initial fashion was wide and then narrow, its practicality was used to tie the hair, and it was also decorative, and a narrow one was tied on the forehead. This ornament has been in existence since the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the men's hairstyle of the Han nationality, most people think that it is the simple style of the hair tied on the top of the head in the TV series, in fact, this is also a too simple concept, the hairstyles of the ancient Han people are diverse, during the Warring States Period, there were multiple strands of argument in the back of the head, there were bifurcation arguments entangled in front of the forehead, and there were ...... of single-strand knots hanging under the hatFor example, the Chu people like to argue on the top of their heads, and the habit of fixing the hairband behind the ears, and only formal occasions or aristocratic men put crowns on the top of their heads. These hairstyles can be seen in the large number of unearthed pottery and rock carvings, as well as terracotta warriors and horses. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, most of the men put yarn crowns and wore their heads, and tied their hair on the top of their heads or behind their heads, some formed two "total" (buns), some formed a total, and some also pulled into a slender "hair stick" bent in front of the forehead, which can be described as invisible, but one thing is certain, the Han people do not have the habit of shaving their hair, and there is no "martial arts-style" hairstyle like in the TV series. Even men of status used grease to hold their hair in a bun so that it would not fall down.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of adult men's arguments gradually disappeared, and the general working people pulled their hair into three or two buns at the back of their heads, and scholars, talents, officials and nobles generally knotted their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and they also wrapped a net towel around their heads to fix their hair, this image can be seen in the Korean drama "Queen Mingcheng", so the hairstyle of Han men sometimes represents the level of status. Not everyone is the same!!

Ming Dynasty crown hat Ming Dynasty crown hat After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, great attention was paid to the rectification and restoration of etiquette. The clothing system of the Yuan Dynasty was abolished, and the clothing system was re-established according to the customs of the Han people. The first picture on the left is the crown, which is worn by the emperor in a crown dress, with a circle in front and a rear, and twelve in the front and back.

The picture on the left 2 shows the black yarn folded scarf, which is worn by the emperor in regular clothes, and its style is basically the same as the black yarn hat, except that the left and right corners are folded upwards and vertically behind the yarn hat. The picture on the right shows the Zhongjing crown, which is a kind of official hat, framed by iron wire, covered with black yarn, with two wings erected behind the crown (called "mountain" at that time), raised above the front, and three beams are pressed out with gold wire. Above the third grade, the crown is edged with gold thread, and below the fourth grade, gold is not allowed.

Not necessarily, people who like to be clean tie up their hair.

It's like a flower child, and there are all the cloaks that ask for food.

It wasn't the ancestors of the Manchurians who hunted in the woods, and if they wore their hair in a bun like the traditional Han people in the Central Plains, it was easy to be hung by branches when riding a horse, so the hair on the forehead was shaved.

In ancient times, the Chinese had many hairstyles, the northern ethnic groups generally had braids, the south of the Yangtze River was short hair, only the Central Plains was a bun, and the hair must be tied and crowned.

Confucius said, without Guan Zhong, we all have to put on our hair.

The left side of the garment is the left side of the garment on the right side, and the hair is draped loosely and the hair is not tied up. This is the hallmark of the traditional Han people of the Central Plains.

During the Warring States period in Japan, there were also shaved Manchurian heads, shaved their foreheads, called half-moon heads, otherwise the hair would be too long, and the battle would be loose, and it would be easy to charm the eyes.

On behalf of the Qing Dynasty.

An ambition. The hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty people is to shave all the hair around it, leaving only a little bit in the middle, and then comb a big braid, in fact, this represents a kind of ambition of the Qing Dynasty people, called "cutting the four scales, Dingding Central Plains". It is to defeat all the enemies around and dominate the Central Plains. This is a typical way to express aspirations through hairstyles, so the hairstyles of the Qing Dynasty people can be called classic inspirational hairstyles.

This is far-fetched.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the hairstyle was called "money rat tail", which was just a habit of nomads.

It may have been for the sake of hygiene and convenience in the nomadic life of fishing, hunting, and herding, and finally formed a tradition.

It's usually just a legacy of their people's traditions, that is, their characteristics, but there is also that meaning.

That's a lie, the earliest satisfying hairstyle had two handfuls of hair.

In the Kang Yong Qianlong era, it became a handful (but there were more and more hairs), and finally in the late Qing Dynasty, it became a hairstyle in film and television dramas. Specifically why the hairstyle of satisfying people is like that, it can only be said that it is a cultural difference, the Han people have such a hairstyle, the Manchus have such a hairstyle, the Mongolians have another hairstyle, the Han Buddhists have a bald head, and the Tibetan Buddhists have short hair, which is understandable.

That's what it means, and now people don't shave their heads in the New Year is a custom left over at that time, which means: thinking about the old, not the dead uncle as it is said now!

Cheat sheet: Starting from the time the Qing army entered the customs, the Qing court for"Flatten the surroundings and stay in the Central Plains"decided to introduce a strange hairstyle: shave the hair from the front to the top of the head, and then shave the hairline all around, leaving only a concentrated piece in the middle and a long braid (money rat tail).

In order to unify the country, especially the ruling ideology, this hairstyle was to be vigorously promoted among the Han people. The medium of implementation is the shaver, and the Qing ** gathers the shavers of the whole country, and each of them gives one with a holy decree"Hanging the flagpole"。The shavers then walked the streets and took down people's hairs one by one.

The slogan of the Manchu Qing at that time was:"Keep your head without hair, and leave your hair without your head"。This hard-line approach was unexpectedly opposed by the people of Jiangnan, who had always been weak: Jiangnan scholars believed that shaving their heads was a great insult to their personality, so they rebelled en masse, hoping to restrain the Manchurian people through the power of the masses.

However, with an order, one after another"Yangzhou 10th"with"Jiading Three Massacres"and other tragedies, the Manchu Shuode pre-prince Duoduo as the vanguard waved the army south, but was met with stubborn resistance from the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and later, for the problem of shaving their hair, many people of the Ming Dynasty paid a heavy price. In Jiangnan, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Hubei and other areas, people deliberately make their hair "short and long" in the first month of each year to commemorate the demise of the late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the saying that "the uncle who died in the first month of the year" actually stems from a "misunderstanding". According to research, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in 1644, the official required all men to keep a "sand pot head", that is, shave off the hair on the forehead and tie a braid at the back of the head. As a result, many people combined the observance of traditional habits with the nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, and agreed that no one would shave their heads during the New Year, and named this action "thinking about the past", which means "thinking about the past history".

But with the passage of time, word of mouth has been passed on by word of mouth, and the homonym of "thinking of the old" has become "dead uncle", and there is a folk custom that has been handed down to this day.

Inspirational bullshit, in fact, is to enslave foreigners, only I am gold.
