In ancient times, which emphasized that "the skin of the body was influenced by parents", how did the ancients cut their hair?

Confucius often mentioned "the collapse of rites and music". What he said and did was mostly to practice Zhou Li, which was not written by the Han Dynasty, but it was the source of the whole book.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the governors were enfeoffed. In order to maintain the patriarchal clan system in the Zhou Dynasty, Duke Wen of Zhou decided that it was impossible to win people's hearts by force alone. The so-called "serving people with morality", if you have a complete set of "orthodox ideas", why worry about the world being chaotic?

According to the rites and music from ancient times to Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wengong made a large-scale arrangement and revision, and created a whole set of rites and music system, which became the rules of people's behavior and life, restricting and constraining the people. This set of Zhou Li covers all aspects, including "hair and skin", which is the earliest origin of "parents with hair and skin".

"Zuo Zhuan" recorded: "Tattoos were cut off and naked for decoration."

This records that the ancients did not accept "haircut" and thought that haircut was a representative of "unfilial". To this end, there is also a "punishment". Punishment refers to removing all or part of the hair of a criminal in order to achieve the purpose of humiliation.

Hair is extremely important, so curly hair has become the most common thing. But if the hair is not taken care of and decorated, it will look messy. Can the ancients cut their hair?

The answer is yes, but there are not many haircuts, and there are many rules for haircuts. In the Zhou dynasty, haircuts were almost forbidden, and only shampooing and combing bars existed.

However, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Confucianism was once again hit by the "War of the Three Kingdoms", so the so-called "parents are physically weak and suffer" is not so strict.

Noble children in the Northern and Southern Dynasties all like to make up, so "trimming eyebrows and shaving beards" are two things that must be done. At this time, a beauty tool "comb" appeared, and Zhu was commenting on the poem:

"So are combs and hair clippers."

At this time, the "comb worker" appeared. After development, not only the imperial court had specialized comb workers, but also the folk "comb workers" appeared. Even if there is a comb worker, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want with a haircut. Comber's general job is just to take care of hair and cut off unnecessary broken hair, but the length of hair can't be as arbitrary as it is now, and there are special regulations. Not only that, but the hairstyle is not random. If you want to get a haircut, you must choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, so that you can also see the words "it is not easy to get a haircut" on the calendar.

In the Song Dynasty, the hairdressing industry became more popular, including not only hairdressers, but also barbershops and even guilds. Hong Mai wrote Jane Yi Zhi Yi in Song Dynasty;

"At the beginning of Zheng He, there was a tweezers worker in Chengdu who traveled in the dust room and his wife lived alone. A Taoist priest came to ask for hair removal and paid 200 yuan first. "

After thousands of years of development, the style of hair has not changed much, and the way of haircut has not changed much. It was not until the Qing army entered the customs that the hairstyle changed.

In order to strengthen their own rule and destroy the self-esteem of the Han people, a "tonsure order" was promulgated. At first, the hairstyle was just a pigtail. The so-called "head can be broken, blood can flow, and hair can't be messy!" The initial decrees of the Qing dynasty attracted a strong rebound. Even so, it was ruthlessly suppressed, resulting in the tragedies of "Top Ten in Yangzhou" and "Three Tragedies in Jiading". It is imperative to have a haircut, which is why the hairdressing industry is booming.
