To tell you the truth, I was surprised when I first saw this question. It turns out that someone really thinks about this problem like me, because I used to think of some strange problems when watching TV dramas, so I will talk about it from these angles.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, the problem of hair style in the Qing Dynasty is actually a problem of rulers' rule. When the Qing dynasty ruled us, after all, their own people were a minority, and the Han people were the majority. If you want to unify the overall situation, you must be convinced, so he starts with the hairstyle.

In fact, the rulers of the Qing dynasty also considered it, so bald people were allowed to shave off both sides without leaving too much hair. In fact, this provision was formulated to safeguard their rule and prevent them from being China-oriented, so that they implemented a bloody and violent policy of leaving no head and no hair. At first, I asked to shave my hair and kick it off completely, leaving only a braid at the back of my head. Later, with the gradual stability of the Qing Dynasty, I no longer asked for it, but only shaved my forehead.

Moreover, the rulers of the Qing dynasty don't care about hairstyles, what they want is an attitude. If you are willing to cut off your pigtails, it means that you are willing to support them in maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty. If you insist on not cutting your pigtails, it means that colleagues who are unwilling to defend his pigtails will be killed, which is also a means for his frequent rulers to safeguard their rule.

So on the other hand, baldness and baldness are actually safer, because it can be said that there is no maintenance. He has no hair, so he can't change his hairstyle. The ruler can't tell whether he shaved his head or went bald on purpose.
