Di Qing has been despised all his life because of tattoos, how did ancient tattoos come about?

Tattoos in ancient times were tattoos given to prisoners. In modern TV dramas, you can often hear the phrase "thorn with frontier", where "thorn" refers to "tattooing" on the face. In other words, in ancient times, if you have a tattoo on your body, it means that you were once a prisoner, so you were looked down upon.

This kind of "disdain" is a real contempt, not a "contempt" in the modern verbal sense. In our eyes, we look down on others, but in ancient times, it means that the social status is much lower.

During the ancient feudal period, the whole society had a strict social status system. Among them, the emperor is of course the largest, followed by the royal family, nobles, wealthy families, rich people, commoners, and there is a "slave" below, and the prisoner who has been tattooed has a lower status in society than a "slave"! In other words, don't just use modern concepts to look at the so-called "look down", in ancient times, if you have tattoos on your body, it will affect your life for the rest of your life.

Di Qing is very powerful, so he has become an official, but the impact of tattoos on him is still indelible. Even because he had a tattoo on his face, he was looked down upon by the soldiers below, and many people spit on him in front of him, a general. Di Qing often doesn't change his face and doesn't care.

After all, the whole society despises tattoos, so Di Qing must have gone to **, and he was despised to **, so he was used to the contempt of others, and because the whole society was like this, he was very helpless. However, because of his generosity, a sentence was derived from "the general can run a horse on his forehead".

However, tattoos still depend on the dynasty, for example, tattoos were very popular during the Song Dynasty, and the whole society was tattooed. At this time, although the criminals were still punished by tattoos, the people did not look down on them because of this, because the royal family and nobles enjoyed tattoos.

Most of the ancient tattoos were brought by punishment, because the ancient idea of "the body is skinned and the parents are received", so they will not take the initiative to get tattoos, and having a tattoo is a symbol of shame, so they will be despised for a lifetime.

In ancient times, the body was paid attention to, and the parents who received it could not be easily damaged. Tattoos are generally a punishment for making a big mistake. Cultures are different, and therefore attitudes are different.

Ancient tattoos are probably painted, because there was no tattoo technique in ancient times.
