Why did the ancient Japanese shave their hair in the middle?

Many people may not want to mention the word Japan, but I still want to say it today. Japan has both shortcomings and advantages. Japan has always been an open-minded nation, which is understandable. Whether it was the Tang Dynasty, Japan's modernization, the Meiji Restoration in modern times, or even the rapid development of Japan's national economy after World War II, it became the second largest economy in the world for a time. If it weren't for the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, it would take some time for China to surpass Japan.

There are many incomprehensible practices in Japan. For example, why did the ancient Japanese put Zhongmao?

This Mediterranean head shape is simply ugly today, but it was very fashionable in Japan at that time. Not only that, Japanese samurai basically have this head shape. Although the popular styles in each era are different, it is really unacceptable for us to have such a non-mainstream hairstyle.

Because no matter which dynasty in China did not have this non-mainstream hairstyle, the hair in the middle had to be shaved or even pulled out one by one. As we all know, Japanese culture is borrowed from other countries. From the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty, Japan-China exchanges were extremely frequent. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Japanese came to China, which happened to be the rise of the Jurchen nationality. I believe this nation is no stranger to everyone.

In the Song Dynasty, this jurchen was to be reckoned with. Dajin, founded by Jurchen, began to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, which created a shameful event in Jingkang. Jurchen's head shape was gaudy at that time. Maybe Japan was influenced by them. Many people will ask why they are influenced by Jurchen. The answer is coincidence, of course. At that time, China was in wartime, and the Japanese came to China in a strange place. They naturally don't know, just like Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to Japan in the Ming Dynasty, when Japan was experiencing what they called the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Japanese ancient culture borrowed from China. As can be seen from their Warring States and Northern and Southern Dynasties, China's name will not be changed. In fact, there is also a saying that ancient Japanese like to keep a Mediterranean head shape. It is said that before13rd century, the Japanese head shape was no different from that of China. But in the13rd century, there were frequent wars in Japan, and there were many battles between ronin and samurai. China's traditional head shape inevitably affects their eyesight and makes their scalp feel pain when wearing helmets. As netizens said, they have many grotesque helmets. To solve this problem, they began to put them in the middle.

Needless to say, this head shape has really improved the fighting capacity of the Japanese, but it is too ugly. Because of the establishment of shogunate, samurai gradually became the mainstream group of the country and became a respected profession. Because of this, more and more people want to be samurai, and those who can't be samurai can gain respect from others as long as they leave the head symbolizing samurai, so more and more people are popular with this head shape. It was not until modern western powers entered Japan that they did not need to wear thick armor to fight. This hairstyle is no longer suitable, and Japan has changed it.

Restore the previous Chinese hairstyle, but many people will ask, since the Japanese once thought that they could shave off the middle hair and leave the Mediterranean hairstyle, why not leave all their hair flat today? In this way, let alone combat effectiveness, it will not be spit out.

In my opinion, the reason why Japanese people don't cut their hair in a flat head may be deeply influenced by China culture, which has been circulating in China? Body hair and skin are controlled by parents? You can't easily cut your hair and ruin your health. Perhaps this is the reason why the Japanese attach great importance to hair. Because of the times, they have to shave off the hair in the middle, and the hair on both sides does not affect the battle, so it is harmless. Perhaps because of this, Japanese people will leave the Mediterranean head shape, but the specific reasons remain to be discussed. However, Japanese people have extremely ugly heads. No wonder many people joke about their hair styles at that time.
