Confucius said: "Mi Guan Zhong, I was sent to the left."
As an assistant, Guan Zhong helped Duke Huan of Qi achieve the first hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period. His slogan of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians" was also respected by Confucius. As a person who respects the legal system of the previous kings, Confucius, from the time when the Yellow Emperor hung down his clothes and ruled the world, to the rise of Confucianism, established the orthodox image of the Central Plains with hair tied in the right pleat, and those wearing the right pleat were regarded as barbarians.
"Zuo Zhuan·Ding Gong Ten Years" notes: "China is called Xia because of its great etiquette and righteousness, and it is called Hua because of the beauty of its rules and uniforms."
"Shu Jing" says: "The imperial attire is called Hua, and the great country is called Xia."
Until the Jin Kingdom ruled the Central Plains, they took the initiative to change their clothes, shave their heads, and change to a more complete hairstyle than the Mediterranean, leaving only two sides and a small braid.
During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, it was more relaxed, and due to their own customs, they could not bear the large number of people, so they took the initiative to transform themselves into barbarians. The Mongolian hair style of braiding the hair into a bun became a trend for a while.
In February of the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been emperor for less than 40 days, issued the "Edict to Restore Clothes and Crowns", requiring all subjects in the world to restore their clothes and clothing to the styles of the Tang Dynasty. Especially for hairstyles, Jurchen and Mongolian braided buns are no longer allowed.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the law strictly stipulated that if a child wore his hair in the Mongolian style, he would be castrated and the whole family would be exiled to a remote area for military purposes.
The Jurchen and Mongolian hairstyles are politically incorrect. Short hair is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, challenges the traditional status of Confucianism, and is deviant. The bald man is the chosen one, so happy.
Lao Zhu touched his forehead, missing the time when he was a monk and didn't have to worry about taking care of his hair. Only when you have lost it can you learn to cherish it. Unfortunately, you cannot go back. This is the price of upright clothes and restoration of Chinese orthodoxy.
Zheng Xiong ran to work as usual, holding his official hat in his hand as he did not have the convenience, and walked away gracefully with a crew cut on his head amidst the strange eyes of everyone.
As time goes by, in Nanjing city, from Zheng Xiong's home to Huimin Pharmacy and then to the Jiaofang Department, you can see Zheng Xiong wearing a crew cut every day to show his presence from time to time.
It's so annoying. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, it becomes more and more difficult to take care of your hair. Everyone is suffering in silence. I don’t dare to cut it off for fear of being scolded, and it would be quite uncomfortable if I don’t cut it off.
Baldness is different. Although it's a bit embarrassing, there are still quite a lot of people with hair loss. It's okay to look down upon it. You can also use a hat to cover it up when necessary. It looks pretty cool.
Wang Mang: Wang Mang is bald and wears a hat to his house.
Du Fu: The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust.
Otherwise, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Someone came up with a crooked idea. Doesn’t the soap from Huimin Pharmacy help hair loss? Then use it and wash it every day. If you are bald after washing, keep it slowly. If you push it for 256, you can just blame Huimin Pharmacy.
There are always some maverick, deviant, and clever people in this world.
For example, Chang Mao has a strong background. His biological father is Chang Yuchun, his uncle is Lan Yu, and his brother-in-law is Zhu Biao. In the fifth year of Hongwu, he married the eldest daughter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng. He can be said to be a standard super second generation.
But the second generation did not take the ordinary path. They colluded with Hu Weiyong for the sake of his own mother's imperial edict, and at the same time became his father's concubine. He was a very contradictory person, and he was also a rebellious age at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Ever since the last time Zheng Xiong dedicated a poem to his sister, he noticed Zheng Xiong and thought the poem was very good and to his liking. Since then, he has been paying attention to Zheng Xiong and sent a servant to pay attention to Huimin Pharmacy and Zheng Xiong. Every move.
When Zheng Xiong voluntarily underwent crucifixion and posted a notice in the pharmacy explaining the dangers of long hair, he couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to take action. Taking care of his hair every day was too much trouble.
After researching for several days, in order not to be scolded, I also thought of the soap from Huimin Pharmacy. I tried to remove the baldness first and then slowly raised it. The effect was the same and it was easy to blame.
Unable to wait, I washed my hair three times a day with soap. After one or two days of washing, my hair started to fall out. After that, I felt confident and persisted for about a week. Finally, it all fell off. Looking at his shiny bald head in the bronze mirror, Chang Mao showed a satisfied expression. smile.
In the strange eyes of the people in the mansion, he went to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace with a shiny bald head to show off and accuse Huimin Pharmacy of atrocities.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think of my hairstyle?"
The prince looked at his brother-in-law speechlessly: This is also called hairstyle.
"Very good. Why is it like this? Who did you learn this bald thing from?"
"Don't mention it. It's all because of the soap from Huimin Pharmacy. It's very good for washing your hair, but it looks like this after washing it. Alas, how will I see people or marry a wife after this? Brother-in-law, you have to give it to me. Make the decision."
Seeing Chang Mao pretending to cry in a serious manner, Zhu Biao did not expose him. He also knew what kind of person this brother-in-law was.
"I'm afraid there's no way to punish him. Zheng Xiong from Huimin Pharmacy has already voluntarily accepted the torture. He also issued a clear notice later saying that washing your hair is prohibited. You can only suffer it."
Chang Mao felt helpless as he touched his bald head.
"Oh, forget it, we are also reasonable people. I blame myself for not noticing when the notice was posted. Nothing else, brother-in-law, I'm leaving."
Watching his brother-in-law leave, Zhu Biao touched his hair, thinking about how his father felt when he was bald, and was a little eager to try, but in the end he did not dare to take this step.
He looked at the location of Huimin Pharmacy with resentment. He was scolded for Zheng Xiong's matter, and was later grounded. He didn't see Zheng Xiong for a visit, and his feelings were still wrongly paid. Now this soap is like poison, lingering in my mind.
Chang Mao continued to show off, just like getting a fun toy, starting from his little friends, all the way to his uncles and elders. While feeling proud, he cursed the soap from Huimin Pharmacy.
With the forerunners, just cross the river by following the forerunners. Unwilling to be left alone, generations of people followed suit. He is bald and has become stronger. Fried meat with bamboo shoots is nothing.
Suddenly, it seems to have become a trend. It came out of nowhere, and the second generation has followed suit. Young bald heads can be seen everywhere, attracting everyone to get excited. It’s summer, it’s so cool, I’m envious.
The ideas of the older generation are always conservative, and young people always like to be new and different. When there is someone to blame, there are many bald donkeys. There is no political correctness involved. Young people do it without any burden, just for fun.
The glass factory received more and more soap orders, and its revenue grew rapidly. Zheng Xiong looked at the account book in front of him and was speechless, not wanting to speak.
Originally, I just wanted to change the young lady's view, not to be discriminated against, and to make people disgusted by the way. Unexpectedly, I met such talented people, led a wave of trends, and threw a big blame on Huimin Pharmacy. Now I don't even dare to go out with my crew cut, so I wear a hat to cover it up, for fear that a sap will suddenly appear somewhere and get beaten up.
