Clear-loaded photography

The Qing Dynasty is a terrible dynasty, especially those old photos of the late Qing Dynasty, in which people's expressions are gloomy. The Qing dynasty was a terrible time, wearing clothes, especially official clothes, but the photos were not good-looking, and there were other reasons.

At that time, photography was not mature, and film (film) had not yet come out. The bottom plate is directly painted on the glass plate with silver bromide, and the exposure time is very long, which requires the photographer to keep his posture and expression motionless for several seconds, so most photos are stupefied. Why do you think black and white photos are strange when you look at some old photos of the Qing Dynasty, and the technology at that time was not good and clear?

And in front of 100 people. Although there is no superstition, can it remind people of the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty in the history of superstition? Why do you think some old photos of the Qing Dynasty are so tattered? Every dynasty went from prosperity to decline. Don't look at when the camera was invented. Can you film the prosperous times? ! !

I just saw an old photo of the Qing Dynasty, and the ground was full of dead heads that had just been cut off. I was very scared. Don't be afraid.

Old photos truly restored people's lives in the Qing Dynasty. Why are people so dark and black-and-white photos so old-fashioned? The effect is not satisfactory, and the photos are not properly preserved. Moreover, at that time, most of them were shot indoors, and there was no usual means of supplementing light (reflector and the like). It is not surprising that the photos taken by foreigners at the same time are not much better. By the Republic of China, photographic equipment had made great progress. At that time, it was also black and white, but the definition was much better, and people didn't look so black.

After reading some old photos of the Qing dynasty, how do you feel that everyone inside is glassy-eyed? First, Manchu costumes do not conform to our aesthetics. . .

Second, it may be better for Manchu maids to wear heavy makeup and remove makeup. Black and white camera, it's a bit strange to shoot. Fourth, you still expect them to pose? Want a leaf? It should be mainly the problem that photography technology and cameras were not advanced at that time. Why do you see many old photos of Qing people with braids, and many people have hair in front? Nowadays, in the film and television dramas with clean braids, men are all "yin and yang heads", that is, the first half of the hair is shaved off and the second half is braided into thick braids. The Qingming Opera in Hong Kong and Taiwan is slightly different from that in mainland China. The former shaved less, while the latter shaved more, about one third.

But this is not the truth, but a mistake! Even a big mistake, against the truth of history.

What is the real hairstyle of Manchu men?

It's not the beautified shape in today's clean braid drama, but the so-called "suncus murinus tail" braid-

It shaves all the hair around it, leaving only a handful of money-sized hair (diameter 1 inch or 3cm) in the center of the head, braiding it into thin and long braids, hanging down like a rat's tail, and passing through the square hole of copper coins is qualified, so its name is "suncus murinus tail".

That is to say, the standard braid style of men in Manchu (early and middle period) turned out to be as thin as a mouse tail! Never as thick as the braids in TV series in recent years. There are only a handful of copper coins at the root of the braid, far from being dense. Most of the other hair has to be shaved.

What an ugly image this strange hairstyle: "the hair root is as big as a copper coin and the mouse tail is thick"! Big-name stars who like to show off now may not even want to do such a strange hairstyle. No wonder the plait should be beautified in the clean film and television drama!

Manchu men in the Qing Palace drama watched today all wear yin and yang heads, that is, the first half of their hair is shaved off and the second half is braided. In fact, the real hairstyle in the Qing Dynasty was suncus murinus's tail, that is, the braid was thinner than the little finger, and it was qualified to pass through the square hole on the copper coin. (Almost bald) Yin and Yang heads slowly appeared in the late Qing Dynasty.

Imagine Kangxi traveling incognito, Qianlong wandering around, Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth and a mouse tail on his head. The Qing people in the Qing palace drama did not portray characters according to the principle of "like what"

This ugly and embarrassing "suncus murinus tail" braid met with fierce and lasting resistance from the masses, and many people in the surrender areas even turned back because of the order to shave their hair. For more than two thousand years since the Han and Tang Dynasties, men's hair styles have been suddenly replaced by the obscene image of "suncus murinus's tail", which has had a great impact and shock on people's psychology. Hairstyles and costumes of the Han nationality are symbols of Chinese cultural traditions, and the changes in hairstyles and costumes are essentially the separation of Han cultural customs. Changing dynasties has little influence on ordinary people. They should farm and pay taxes. Maybe they are still expecting a good emperor. The separation of cultural customs, for the vast number of * *, is equivalent to forgetting their ancestors, which is of course unacceptable to them. This is the fundamental reason why the haircut order in the early Qing Dynasty was fiercely and persistently resisted by the general public.

Nowadays, the hairstyle of Yin and Yang in the braid drama will be put to death if it is in accordance with the tonsure standard of tonsure order promulgated at that time!

Because the Qing court stipulated: "Those who shave their heads will also be beheaded."

For example, in the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Ding Quan, a well-known official in Jiangnan Lake, was caught by the local officials, who took "the offender has no intention of breaking his trust and is willing to go against the trend, and the law has no credit" as an example and gave Zhu Pi an order: "If he tries, he will be punished", and the county officials also took this as an example.

After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, with the expansion of military victory, the barber order in the Qing dynasty became more and more rigid, the resistance encountered became more and more fierce, and more and more tragic stories were described by predecessors.

The article "Qing Qian Lei", "Rong Zhi Lei" and "Explosive Style" said: "Dong Zhixue traveled to Jiangxi and was ordered by Ji 'an to invite the children of the gentry and Gong Jian to give a banquet. When I was drunk, I said,' When the dynasty scraped again, it was like money. Please take off your hat and check it. Because the hat was taken off, all the sideburns were omitted, and the rest of the knots remained unchanged. The only one like this has to be released, and the rest are tied up. "

When Lu Xun was studying in Japan (at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century), the braid popular among literati was thicker than the "mouse tail", just like the pig tail. No wonder Japanese students studying in China are generally laughed at by Japanese children-onlookers, shouting at the back: "Pig tail! Pig tail! " China students' brains have evolved from mice to pigs!

This ugly hairstyle of great shame also became one of the direct reasons why people rose up at that time and strongly demanded "mending" and "expelling Tatars and restoring China".
