Liaojinyuan man hairstyle

Liaojinyuan man clothing
Jin dynasty was a little particular about clothes. Men's uniforms usually consist of four parts, namely, a towel wrapped around the head, a collar, a belt tied around the waist and black shoes on the feet. Their shapes (including styles, colors and patterns) have some characteristics. An important feature of clothing in the Jin Dynasty is the use of environmental colors, that is, wearing clothes of the same color as the surrounding environment. This is related to the living habits of the Jurchen nationality. Because the Jurchen nationality is a nomadic people, they make a living by hunting, and their clothes are close to the environment, which can play a protective role. I like to use white in winter, and it is also careless to rust my coat with animal patterns such as "stork catching goose", "miscellaneous flowers" and "bear deer forest" in spring. Prey, protect yourself for use. This picture shows a man wearing a collar in the Jin Dynasty (a brick figurine unearthed from the golden tomb in Henan Province)
Although Liao, Jin, Yuan and Jin belong to the braiding family, their braiding styles are different. Meng Gong's "The Tatar of Monks" describes the hairstyle of Mongolian men: "From Genghis Khan to the people of China, people shave their slopes. For example, children in China have three heads, and the cheeks are slightly longer. There are always small horns hanging on the shoulders on both sides. " Zheng Suonan's History of Mind is particularly detailed, saying: Master Tatar shaved his hair three times and braided it. The "Three Knights" shaved off a curved hair at the top, leaving the current hair hanging loosely after cutting it short, but analyzed the hair on both sides, tied it into two bun, hung it on the left and right shoulder coats, said "Don't be a wolf", and said that the bun was hung on the left and right because of four eyes and could not be taken care of by wolves. Or braid it and drag the back of the clothes straight. "Based on comprehensive records and reference to video materials, we can basically understand how to make this hairstyle: first cut it into two straight lines in the middle of the top of the head, then shave off all the hair at the back of the head, or shave it off in front, or cut it into various shapes to naturally cover the forehead, and then braid the hair on the left and right sides and hang it down to the shoulders. In the Yuan Dynasty, men wore scarves and hats, and men wore hoes in their clothes. The shape of hoes was roughly the same as that of long-legged hoes in the Song Dynasty. Some soap merchants go to heaven with hoes. Generally speaking, men and women wear a hat similar to the headscarf of the Tang Dynasty, with two elbows and long feet hanging down from the back of the head in a figure of eight. Ordinary people like to tie towels, and there are many different ways to tie towels. In addition, Mongolian men wear a "corrugated hat" made of rattan, which has two styles of Fiona Fang, and the top is decorated with jewels. There are people wearing big hats. This picture shows a man wearing a corrugated hat and shaving his head in the Yuan Dynasty.
