(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )
Unconsciously touched the top of his head to the back of his neck, although he was separated by a layer of hats, but suddenly he still felt cold. I have always had scruples in Fujian all these years, although I hated this shaving and easy to wear, and I thought about abolishing the shaving order a long time ago, but then I endured it. If he had really given such an order before, there would be no need to wait for the Mawei army to develop, and the Qing court would have raised a large army to conquer him. It is with this in mind that I have not moved, and in the last two years, I have become accustomed to it and put this matter behind.
If you think about it again, shaving your hair and being easy to wear is really the most "disgusting" and painful scene in the history of Chinese civilization. It was supposed to be a look of praise and clothing, but if there was no replacement of clothing, in fact, it was also a cultural replacement, and it may not be until the 21st century that China still has its own national costume. China's famous national costume "Hanfu" has become a big pain in the hearts of later generations, for example, Hanbok is modified from the clothes of our Ming Dynasty, and then has been handed down, so if there is no shaving hair, China also has its own national costume? In fact, the ancient Koreans resisted and hated China's shaving of their hair more than we did, and felt that Chinese culture had been cut off from then on. Until now, there are still many remnants of the Ming Dynasty who have engaged in the study of ancient clothing, such as Huang Zongxi's "Deep Clothes Examination". Could it be that these people suddenly became interested in archaeology on a whim? They want to convey their remembrance and regret for Chinese civilization.
The Qing Dynasty shaving hair was not practiced after entering the customs. The Manchurians are a branch of the Jurchens, and they are the Jianzhou Jurchens. Back in the Song Dynasty. The people of the Kingdom of Jin shaved their hair. The coercion forced the Han Chinese in the occupied areas to shave their hair. 1129 (Song Jianyan three years. Jin Tianhui was seven years old), and Jin Taizong at that time issued such a strong order: "Ban the people from Hanfu, and those who cut their hair are not as good as the style, die!" The Manchurian hairstyle has not changed for hundreds of years, and the Manchu man generally wears a handful of hair like money in the middle of the top of the head to grow long, braid, and shaves the rest of the hair around it, so it is called "money rat tail". Generally speaking. The Manchus only do not shave for 100 days in the "national funeral" and "parents' funeral", and usually, except for a small handful in the middle, the hair around them cannot be saved.
After Nurhachi established the Jin Khan, he forced the Han people in the occupied areas and the Han people who surrendered to have to shave their hair, so to shave or not to shave, became a political symbol. As long as the Han people shave their heads, they will not die and surrender, otherwise they will be beheaded. It is recorded in the Korean "Records of the Yi Dynasty". After the Jin army occupied Liaoyang, thousands of local Han people were reluctant to shave their heads. Throw himself into the Yalu River and die. At that time, due to the tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shaved Han people were often killed by the Ming army, and after cutting off their heads, they risked their heads to "repay their merits". Mao Wenlong of Phi Dao killed many Han people who had shaved their hair at that time, and used their heads to invite rewards to the Ming court.
After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he restrained his killing, but he was more strict with shaving his hair. The only exception was that due to the early surrender of Korea to the Manchus, as a special courtesy, Huang Taiji expressed leniency to this vassal state: the crown was not easy, and it could be exempted from shaving. When the Qing army first entered the customs and occupied Beijing, it issued a hair-shaving order. Due to the persuasion of Wu Sangui and other Ming Dynasty officials, coupled with the repeated resistance of the people in Beijing and the surrounding areas, Dolgon had to retract his order, but he still showed special trust in Jin Zhijun and others, who were the first to shave their hair. Therefore, after the Qing army entered Beijing, for a long time, the old officials of the Ming Dynasty became Qing Dynasty officials, and they still wore Ming clothes and their crowns did not change.
However, when Nanjing was also taken by the Qing army, there was one of the most hated Manchu lackeys Sun Zhiqi during this period, and it was precisely because of his persuasion that Dolgon, who was far away in Beijing, immediately changed his original intention and asked the Ministry of Rites to issue a "hair shaving order" nationwide. After the Qing army entered the customs, Sun Zhiqi was eager to seek officials, and was the first batch of Han officials who wagked their tails and begged to surrender, and became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. In order to repay the favor of the new master's promotion, he couldn't think of any pacification plan for a while, so Sun Zhiqi took the initiative to shave his hair.
At that time, Sun Zhiqi's front head was clear, and he also dragged a big braid in the back, and put on a set of four-like full clothes, Shi Shiran wanted to win a full house when he was in the last court. Unexpectedly, at that time, the Han officials were still Bo Guan Da Sleeve, and when they saw such a person who was nondescript, they all felt ridiculous and contemptible, and raised their sleeves to exclude him from the class; The Manchu officials, believing that they were ruling and conquering the nation, also kicked and laughed and scolded him one after another, kicking him out of the Manchu class.
Annoyed and angry and angry, Sun Zhiqi immediately drafted a Qing Dynasty hairstyle after shaving his hair and changing clothes, and shaved the hair of the Han people in the whole territory to Emperor Shunzhi, which said:
"His Majesty pacifies the Central Plains, everything is new, and the system of clothes and hair is the only one that exists in the old Han Dynasty, this is His Majesty from China, not from China!"
Shunzhi was only seven years old at the time, and all matters were decided by the regent Dorgon. Dolgon and the others were originally barbarian characters, and they were deeply aware of the fact that Sun Zhiqi was so insidious that his words were very reasonable. Looking back on history, I think that the Liao and Jin dynasties were due to the "sinicization" that eventually led to the depression of the imperial family. Sun Zhiqi's words just provoked Dolgon's vigilance, and he wanted to eliminate the potential danger of "sinicization" from the form first, and make the first move, first give all the Han people a "Manhua", and force them to shave their hair!
The evil law is pressing, and the Jiangnan region, which was gradually calming, suddenly spread out the anger of resistance everywhere like water entering boiling oil. In June 1645, the Qing court issued another edict: "Those who are near in January, and those who are far away in March, each of them shall shave their hair and return to obedience." "This makes shaving an absolute imperative. Such a barbaric "hair without head" triggered a strong resistance from the Han people in Jiangnan. Starting from Suzhou, the tide of protest and anger has risen, Changshu, Taicang, Jiading, Kunshan, Jiangyin, Jiaxing, Songjiang, everywhere the righteous flag, everyone is angry. The Qing army's prince Duoduo wantonly suppressed it, and the resort in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly flowed into a river of blood.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Chinese, who have family patriarchal Confucianism as their source, may be able to regard the rise of dynasties as a cycle of heavenly paths, but if someone wants to force a historical retrogression in terms of clothing and appearance, turning thousands of years of Han Confucian hair style and Sheng Tang robes into "pigtail" pigtails, this is not only an insult to human dignity, it is simply similar to the great pain of spiritual "castration". Moreover, in the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty, living with this image of "Yidi" must be ashamed of their ancestors after death, and they will no longer see their ancestors underground. The regions that had already been subjugated rebelled one after another, and the entire land of China was plunged into a bloody storm.
However, the retribution was swift. In the autumn of 1648, because of the sale of money and property, Sun Zhiqi was impeached and sent back to his hometown Zichuan. Heaven is good, this old thief just happened to catch up with the uprising of Xie Qian and others in Shandong. The rebels invaded Zichuan City, and Sun Zhiqi's family, men, women, and children were killed by the angry people, "all of whom were extremely obscene and miserable." Sun Zhiqi himself was tied up by five flowers for more than ten days, and during his detention, under the preparation of five poisons, the people of the righteous army were full of fine holes in his scalp, and people rushed to use pig hair to re-"transplant his hair". In the end, one of his foul mouths was tightly sewn up with a large needle, and then the old thief was dismembered and cut to death.
From the perspective of Chinese cultural development, this Sun Zhiqi is even more hateful than Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong's grandfather Geng Zhongming. Geng Jingzhong himself has nothing to do with the cheap grandfather who has died a long time ago, but God is just joking, and let him, a person with the same name and surname, replace the real King of Jingnan in history! I hate those who betrayed my ancestors, and since I have this opportunity at this moment, of course I have to change this qiē!
The things that had been forgotten now came to mind strongly again, and the scenes of shaving and changing clothes in my head came back to me over and over again. Although he was only born when the Qing court issued the order to shave his hair, he has heard and seen a lot of growth in the past 20 years. Combined with his experience of more than 20 years in the later life, he felt more and more disgusted with the tail of money in his head, and even the brocade clothes on his body felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Lord Wang, why is your face heavy and you have been silent for a long time?" There was a joke just now, but he didn't squeak for a long time, and his expression kept changing, and in the end it was so ugly, it scared Li Guangdi, thinking that something big had happened, Li Guangdi hesitated for a while, but still asked out loud.
Geng Jingzhong turned his head, looked at Li Guangdi and said, "Brother Li, can you see the difference between pedestrians on this road?" Geng Jingzhong pointed to the pedestrians on the road, although there were only a dozen or so people on the road at the moment, there were still new immigrants and old immigrants.
Li Guangdi listened to this question, and was a little puzzled, what could be the problem with this, could it be that there are bandits? No, this is Luzon, it is completely the territory of the Horsetail Army, and all the hostile forces on the island have been swept away, is it the local natives? No, this is the boundary of Xinhenan County, protected by the Marine Army and close to the city of Manila, where will there be natives who dare to come and spread wild. The prince asked, the question must have nothing to do with these, so what is it?
Li Guangdi is only two years older than Geng Jingzhong, and the shaving incident has nothing to do with him, when they grow up, they have always had this hairstyle and always wear like this, so they don't feel any difference. Geng Jingzhong saw Li Guangdi staring at the pedestrians on the road for a long time, and he didn't see the reason, so he pointed out directly: "Do you see that the clothes they wear and the hairstyles they wear are the same?" ”
Li Guangdi now knew what Geng Jingzhong was talking about, once, a long time ago, Geng Jingzhong seemed to have talked to her about this topic when he was in Mawei, but at that time, the two of them immediately vetoed the mention. But now the situation has changed, and it seems that the old thing can be brought up again! "Lord, you mean"
"Yes, it's been almost thirty years, and our generation has almost forgotten the treasures left by our ancestors! Just this bare braincase, compared with the Ming people's outfits on this road, it is simply a heaven and an earth. The Manchu people promote shaving hair and making it easy to wear, in order to exterminate our Han culture and destroy the national consciousness and national self-esteem of our Han people. This is completely our territory, if we start the first step to restore our Han clothes in Luzon now, I think the ancestors of our Han people will also be grateful to me underground!
