Song Weizi has a tattoo.

People who know the history of the Song Dynasty may find that there were actually many young people in the Song Dynasty, because tattoos were particularly popular in the Song Dynasty. For example, there are many such descriptions in Water Margin, and Yue Fei's body is also engraved with the words "loyal to serve the country". From here, we can see that tattoo is not only a fashion expression, but also represents a certain social trend. The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, that is, in fact, the culture of the Song Dynasty was more open, so people at that time pursued fashion more, and tattoos were a way to express their attitudes.

However, in the Song Dynasty, although the custom of tattooing has become a recognized thing, from my personal point of view, tattooing in the Song Dynasty mainly has three purposes, 1 this thing, one is to express one's loyalty, the other is simply to be handsome, and the third is to obtain certain beauty. Just like people who like Lu, tattoos are to show their domineering. Take off your coat when fighting, and directly achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting. After all, you can see from his tattoos that these people are desperate. Yan Qing, the prodigal son, tattooed mainly for aesthetic feeling. After all, he was a Jianghu thief. I always pay attention to whether my style is handsome enough. However, there are not many plots about his tattoo in the novel.

Why do tattoos express the center? In addition to the words that Yue Fei was loyal to the country, there is another thing that highlights this point. Huyan Zan, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, was particularly fond of tattoos. During the period of Song Taizong, he wanted to make contributions and establish concubines, so he asked to guard the frontier. Song Taizong saw his sincere tone and said that you are old and weak. Why don't you give me a performance on the spot? If possible, I'll take you there, so he dressed up and performed a military boxing with his four sons. Song Taizong gave him some gold and silver treasures to save his face. He thinks that the emperor is not important to him now, so in order to show his loyalty, he even carved the words "kill the thief with his heart" on the soldiers, and even his mouth was not empty. Song Taizong had no choice but to let him defend the frontier. But when he got there, he made some mistakes because of improper command and was transferred back, and finally died of depression. Therefore, tattoos in the Song Dynasty can only be done under certain conditions, and ordinary people will not engage in such behavior.
