Why were ancient Japanese men s hairstyles so hilarious?

The Japanese originally learned Chinese clothes and wore their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, just like the Ryukyus and Koreans, but in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, especially at the end of the 13th century, the two large-scale invasions of the Yuan army completely intensified the contradictions between the local government in Japan and the Kamakura shogunate, and the shogunate's rule over the local tyrants collapsed. Traditional Chinese bun shapes tend to be messy and painful to pressure the top of the head.

In order to alleviate the pain on the top of the head, the samurai removed or even plucked the hair on the top of the head, and the common people learned the samurai's hairstyle to remove the hair on the top of the head for fear of lice bites. Eventually, this strange hairstyle became popular in Toei, and it was a hairstyle for both adults and children without exception.

The main hairstyles for men in ancient Japan were:

Tang Luntou: <>

Karakura is a type of comb issued by young samurai and toddlers during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods in Japan. From the Momoyama period to the Edo period, it was very popular in society. Karawa is also a hairstyle for young Kabuki performers. Since this hairstyle was initially very simple and unpretentious.

Later, it gradually developed into a complex type, said"Soldier bun"。This hairstyle is very unreliable and tends to fall apart. It was later replaced by the head of the moon generation. Only sumo wrestlers still wear similar buns.

Moon generation: <>

Before the Meiji period, there were frequent internal wars in Japan, and when the two sides were fighting, the hair often fell apart due to the violent shaking of the body, and the hair on the top of the head in the middle and front would cover the face, blocking the view and affecting the battle. So some samurai shaved off the hair on the middle and front of the head, so that even if the hair was scattered during the battle, it would only be scattered on the sides of the head and back, and would not affect the vision.

Because of its effect, the samurai followed suit, and over time it became an unwritten tradition, although this shaving was limited to the samurai class. Of course, there were also a very small number of samurai and some literati who did not shave, as well as commanders who did not want to be in battle.

Ancient Japanese Women's Hairstyles:

Nara period in Japan: During the Tang Dynasty in China, many Japanese upper-class women imitated the style of the Tang Dynasty and wore knotted buns. Double top bun, high top bun:

They curl their long hair up to the top of their heads. Those that are rolled into two buns are called double top buns, and those that are rolled into one bun are called high top buns. The lower class women, on the other hand, still wore their hair in the usual tidings, that is, long hairs tied up from the back or tied up at the back of the head.

After the Meiji Restoration (1871 during the Rokumeikan period), the Imperial Government issued a hair-cutting order. Japanese men no longer tie their hair. Only Japanese women still retain their ancient hairstyles, such as Shimada-style, ginkgo biloba, peach cut, and marubun.

Among them, the Shimada hairstyle is the hairstyle that Japanese girls comb when they get married.

Because the ancient Japanese samurai were often disturbed by the scattered hair in front of them when they were fighting, they later invented the Tsukiyo head and shaved off all the hair in the front, and later it became popular in the country, with this strange hairstyle.

Because in ancient Japan, they made such a hairstyle in order to make it easier to wear armor when fighting, which is actually a kind of wisdom of the ancient Japanese people.

The costumes of each ethnic group at different times have their own historical and cultural backgrounds, and the same is true of the ancient Japanese men's head shape, which we should not think is ridiculous, but should be respected.

Because ancient Japan admired the spirit of the samurai very much, the samurai were also in the upper class and belonged to the aristocracy, and the hair affected the duel between the samurai, and the hair falling out would affect the sight and adversely affect themselves, so they began to shave off the hair in front of them, and for a long time, it slowly became a symbol of the samurai.

1. Ancient Chinese men's hairstyles were usually square buns, but different dynasties had different changes, and all of them became braids in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

2. The Warring States, Qin, and Western Han Dynasty are similar to the middle of the front, and the bun on the head is slightly to the left. In addition, in different periods, some people may have different hair buns and different hair decorations. Most men's hair should be tied up, whether it is a nobleman, an official, or a good citizen.

3. There is also a theory that because the samurai had to fight for a long time, wearing a helmet not only made it easy to mess up the hairstyle, but also caused considerable pressure on the top of the head. The long hours of fighting on the field caused some soldiers to suffer from scalp inflammation caused by stuffiness and sweat, and shaving their heads replaced the previous method of pulling them out with tweezers. In order to alleviate the pain on the top of the head, the samurai removed or even plucked the hair on the top of the head, forming a hairstyle based on the Karawa head and the Tsukiyo head.

According to more reliable sources, at least during the Tang and Song dynasties in China, most of the Japanese still imitated the Tang Dynasty hairstyle. At the end of the Heian period, the strange hairstyle of the moon head appeared.

The Japanese admired bushido very much, so civilian men followed suit and shaved the hair into the style of the moon head.

The hairstyle of ancient Japanese men was influenced by samurai competitions. Women are influenced by China and North Korea. By the time of the Meiji Restoration, Japanese men's and women's hair ornaments were again influenced by advanced Western countries.

Ancient Japanese hairstyles began before the Meiji era and were created against the backdrop of Japan's growing civil wars. At that time, the Japanese samurai were often fierce in combat, and their long hair would fall apart, blocking their view and making it difficult for them to fight. Therefore, in order to facilitate the battle, some samurai shaved off the hair located in the middle and front, so that even if the hair is scattered again, it can only be scattered to the side of the face or back, and it can rarely cover the face, which solves the problem of vision in war.

Because their hair was too long during the war, it would affect their performance, so they would shave the middle of their hair and leave only the hair next to it, so that they would not block their view.

We combined with ancient TV dramas and found that the hairstyle of ancient men was long braids, bald heads in the front, and braids in the back, this dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, and other dynasties had long hair and the like.

Who said that long hair fluttering is a woman's patent, we ancient men can also do long hair fluttering, as long as they don't make mistakes, ancient men want to have long hair and waist that is a matter of minutes, China's history since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty is called the ancient history stage, that history has not been fully confirmed now, but in that historical era of tribal groups, there is no strict and regular etiquette requirements, people will not pay too much attention to their appearance, everything for production or hunting concessions, So at that time, men's hairstyles were basically long hair shawls, which were very elegant, and with such flowing long hair, there was naturally no need to consider issues such as hairline, because long hair could completely cover a large forehead.

Han men have the habit of growing their hair since they were young, and most people don't cut their hair at all. During the Warring States period, when men were children, they would simply comb their hair in two buns, and when they reached adulthood, they would braided their hair with a headband and coiled it on the back of their heads. The hairstyles of some dignitaries are more solemn, and they will wear crowns in their buns, which can be seen from Qu Yuan's portraits.

Except for the Warring States period, in the long years of Chinese history, the Han people's attachment to their hair was long-standing, but the era was different, and the decoration of people's hair was slightly different.

That's because it's convenient for them to wear helmets when they fight, so they shaved it.

Maybe people in the decades look at modern people with ugly hairstyles.

Because that's what they were all about to do at that time. Every era has its own trending elements, so at that time their hairstyles were very popular and not funny at all.

Because in ancient times, Japanese women did not like men who were too dull and uninteresting. Men with funny hairstyles are very easy to attract Japanese women's ideas.

Because ancient Japan admired the spirit of samurai, samurai enjoyed a high status in Japan, and during the fight, the samurai often lost their hair, leading to their own defeat. Therefore, the hair in front of him was shaved off, and over time it became a symbol of the samurai.

In the same way, Japanese men not only have ugly hairstyles, but also have bad morals.
