The Liangshan hero with a meaty face, why do you want to wear a flower on your head?

Because it was a custom to wear flowers during the Song Dynasty, men wearing flowers could reflect their status and make them feel that it was very good to do so.

Friends who are familiar with "Water Margin" must remember that there is such a hero in Liangshan, his name is "Yizhihua Cai Qing", but this Cai Qing is not a beautiful man, and he is not engaged in any acting career, in Shi Nai'an's pen, Cai Qing is a prison guard with a full face and a strong physique, but he was born to love a flower, so he is called a flower Cai Qing, and on the brim of his hat, he always has a flower.

And you will also find that in addition to Cai Qing, our good man Ruan Xiaowu, good man Yang Xiong, good man Song Jiang, and even Ximen officials like to put a flower on their heads, as if at that time, as long as they were men, they could use flowers on their heads to decorate. I always thought that this was a privilege only for women, could it be that in the Song Dynasty, men could wear flowers? Is this the custom of the Song Dynasty or the plot of **?

In fact, men wear such a custom of flowers, in the Tang Dynasty has been, but it is not popular, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are also people occasionally wear it, but it has long been outdated, only in the Song Dynasty, the style of men's hairpins prevailed, and became a common social atmosphere at that time, just like the jeans that we are popular now, everyone regards it as a normal dress, and no one thinks you are dressed in strange clothes.

Men in the Song Dynasty liked to wear flowers, and the dignitaries and nobles must wear seasonal flowers, such as peonies, chrysanthemums, jasmine, apricot blossoms, roses and so on. Of course, there are also people who like to make flowers into gold and silver jewelry to wear, or directly use silk silk cloth to make different flowers to wear on their heads.

How did this trend come about?

Of course, it was guided by the royal aristocracy at that time, and the common people were all like that, when the emperor celebrated his birthday and held various large-scale celebrations, all the ** required to wear hairpins, and the people saw that the upper class did this, plus there were many things like flowers, the cost was very low, and it was easy to be popular, plus everyone had a love for beauty, so the act of wearing flowers became popular and popular all over the country.

Su Shi, the great poet at that time, wrote such a poem: People are not ashamed of old hairpins, and flowers should be ashamed of the old man's head. Drunk people should laugh, and the ten-mile bead curtain is half hooked.

As you can see, at that time, people almost regarded hairpin flowers as a concrete embodiment of a kind of beautiful food, and the flowers set off the beauty of people, and it naturally became a kind of nature for people to love hairpins. Since ancient times, women have worn jewelry and flowers to set off themselves, why don't men have this right?

Therefore, even if the heroes of Liangshan are ugly, they must wear hairpins, which is not only a social custom, but also reflects the attention of people to their own lives.

You see, Li Kui doesn't pay attention to it!

Why can't you wear it? What does this have to do with a face full of meat, it's just a personal preference, although he is full of meat, but his heart is beautiful, and he loves beauty.

Presumably everyone should know that there is a good man among the heroes of Liangshan, his name is called Yizhihua, but her appearance is not beautiful, it can be said that she is very fat, and her physique is also very strong, but he likes to bring a flower very much since he was born, so he is called Caiqing of Yizhihua.

In fact, men wear such a custom of flowers, in the Tang Dynasty has been, but it is not popular, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are also people occasionally wear it, but it has long been outdated, only in the Song Dynasty, the style of men's hairpins prevailed, and became a common social atmosphere at that time, just like the jeans that we are popular now, everyone regards it as a normal dress, and no one thinks you are dressed in strange clothes.

It is because it is difficult for these Liangshan heroes to come into contact with women, and this is also a dress at that time, and Xi is also a tradition, symbolizing a particularly beautiful meaning.

Because wearing a flower on their head can make their lives full of a little embellishment.
