What flag did Princess Gege wear in Qing Dynasty? Why are you wearing that?

In the past, there was plastic ... the headdress on Manchu women's heads was wide and long, like a fan, like a crown. Its name is a flat square, commonly known as "flag head". Another meaning of "flag head" refers to several hairstyles with distinctive national characteristics and unique charm commonly used by Manchu women, such as "Ertou", "Water hyacinth", "Swallowtail", "Big wings", "High head", "Shelf head", "Front bangs" and "Pan head wings". Flat square is the main jewelry of Manchu women when combing their hair. In the early Qing dynasty, ordinary flag girls and Han women imitated Manchu ladies' hair accessories, focusing on high bun. When combing their hair, they divide it into two long flat bun, about one foot wide, commonly known as "fork head" (also called "two ends" or "handle head"). When making a fork head, a lock of hair hangs from the back of the head, and the lower end is trimmed into two sharp corners to form a dovetail shape, which is called "dovetail". In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Shizan described this hairstyle in Gong Ci: "The bun and the clouds are in line, and the pearls protect the cricket." The city is more than a foot high, and the fork is low. "These palace words vividly describe the unique hairstyles of Manchu women.

"Tuantou", also known as flag temples, is a common hairstyle among the people. When Manchu women reach middle age, they no longer wear "Toma Evelle" and comb "Tuantou", which looks like a steamed bread with patterns, but the "Tuantou" is different from the "pimple temples" of middle-aged women. The two combs are also different in different positions, and the pimple is in the lower part of the back of the head. The ball head is directly above, and the hair is combed into a vertical round or flat high bun on the top of the head. Some people leave "swallowtails" and insert jewelry such as silver and copper squares in their hair. Because some elderly women have less hair, they have a spiral "roll" on their heads, which is simple and convenient, and can still be seen in rural areas where Manchu people live in concentrated communities in recent years.

There is also a hairstyle called "water hyacinth", commonly known as "water temples". It is to pick off the weak hair on the sideburns and form a hook next to the root of the ear with soapy water to enrich the cheeks and face, which is particularly beautiful in contrast to the peach blossom with rain.

After Kanggan, due to the influence of the "Ruyi Theory" of the Han nationality, Manchu J girls generally comb their hair in the shape of "I", commonly known as "prefix" and "Ruyi Building". In the middle of Qing Dynasty, the styles of Manchu women's bun gradually increased, and the "double horns" were also expanding. The hairstyle of Manchu women developed from H-shaped bun to shelf head, and at the same time, their own hair style gradually developed into a mixed hairstyle of real hair and wig by borrowing shelves, and many ornaments were inserted into the bun. Among them, there is a plate-shaped ornament called "Square", which was very small at first. In the late Qing Dynasty, especially in Xianfeng period, Manchu women's hair styles became more tall and exaggerated, and evolved into fixed decorations as high as cards, thus replacing two combs with shelves.

"Reading the World" once said: "At the beginning of Shunzhi, I saw Manchu women braiding their hair in front of their forehead and parting it backwards. Their heads were wrapped like Chinese Baotou, but the decoration on their heads was effective in the capital and invalid in other provinces." Later, this hairstyle became higher and higher, and later it became a tall and big form. Some people describe it as a small blackboard. This arch decoration does not need hair, and it is made of silk and satin into a "fan-shaped" crown, commonly known as "big wings", which is the hairstyle of Manchu ladies. These aristocratic women are wearing tall ornaments and high-grade flag shoes, which are used to, and they are particularly slender and walk more calmly and dignified.

Big wings, also known as "big Beijing style", "big rollover" and "big wings", are similar to the styles of Qing court costumes seen on the stage and in film and television dramas. They should be developed from "two heads", that is, a bun on the top of the head is used as the head seat, a blue plain satin or gauze velvet frame is added on it, and a "dovetail" is left behind the head. This hairstyle was very popular in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty, and it became higher and higher. It developed into a style similar to the later "flag head board", with flowers in front and tassels hanging on the side, so some areas in Northeast China called it "Beijing School" or "Palace Dress".

The headdress of "big wings" is a fan-shaped hard shell, about a foot high. The inside is made of iron wire according to the size of the head circumference, and then the cloth ring is used as the tire. The outside is covered with green satin or blue flannel as the fixed decorative head, and some flowers made of green satin, green velvet, green diameter yarn or silk are inserted. You can wear it on your head without brushing when you need it, and you can take it off and put it aside when you don't use it. It not only beautifies the hair, but also is convenient to take off and wear, which can be described as the best of both worlds. Big wings, shaped like a big wish, and the dovetail hooked at the back of the neck is bigger than before, almost touching the collar. Because the large pull wing is made of thick iron wire, it has strong bearing capacity, and is equipped with fixing devices such as pins, hairpins, tassels, pimples, ear scoops, headdresses, etc., which meets the needs of wearing multiple pieces of jewelry at the same time. This kind of hair accessory of Manchu women is unique to aristocratic women. The Palace Museum has a picture of Yongle in Yongzheng as a statue of the imperial concubine in the early Qing Dynasty, painted with such hair ornaments. Because this kind of hair accessory belongs to the dress of high-ranking and aristocratic women, ordinary women often wear it on their heads as a "ceremonial crown" when they get married, just like the "phoenix crown summer dress" of the Han nationality, which makes them feel glorious and rich. Until the late Qing Dynasty, "big wings" were still the main hair accessories of Manchu women, and both official women and folk women followed suit. In fact, few people dress like this except aristocratic women in daily life. The reason is that it is time-consuming and laborious and must be completed with the help of others. Don't tilt your pillow after combing your hair, and keep your neck straight when standing or sitting. Although beautiful, it is uncomfortable. People seldom see it, except on important occasions, such as weddings or young girls and daughter-in-law combing it during the New Year.
