Why does Song Yingxing in China's classic have pigtails?

Although Song Yingxing was an Amin dynasty, he lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He was born in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and died in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, with a complicated identity. Song Ying Xing was played by the actor Li Guangjie. In his youth and middle age, his hairstyle was typical of the Ming Dynasty, but in his later years, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, his hairstyle became a "big mistake" in the Qing Dynasty.

Some netizens can't help complaining for Song: people have been anti-Qing and regained their sight all their lives, but they have been shaped into Qing people, which is sad! What's more, it is said that people with lofty ideals in the late Ming Dynasty regarded "braid" as a symbol and expression of national subjugation, so some righteous people would rather commit suicide than leave a braid symbolizing betrayal behind them.

Of course, some people say that this is not normal? After the Qing army was pacified, "shaving and changing clothes" was carried out nationwide, and ordinary people basically participated. It is also reasonable for Song to braid his hair. However, if you carefully comb Song's past lives, you will find that he is unlikely to shave his head.

Controversy in the second episode of Classic China: Why did the man of Song Dynasty keep the hairstyle of the dynasty?

First of all, Song Yingxing hated the replacement of the Qing Dynasty. He denounced the Qing people as "northern Lu" in "Heavenly Creations", and there were other words of flogging. Therefore, this wonderful book, which made great achievements abroad, was not widely circulated in China, but was banned in Shunzhi and was not taken into account when Qianlong compiled Sikuquanshu.

Secondly, Chen Hongxu, an anti-Qing general in Ming Dynasty, made firearms according to the casting technology of Wu Kai in Tiangong, which was a heavy blow to the late Jin Dynasty. Although it was not led by Song, he was the author after all, and the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were bound to be unhappy with him.

Furthermore, in the second year of Longwu, that is, A.D. 1646, with the gradual decline of the Nanming regime, Song Yingsheng, Song's younger brother, took poison and died for his country. No matter out of brotherhood or family feelings, Song would not choose an honest official. On the contrary, he also led some people to actively resist the Qing Dynasty.

All kinds of signs seem to indicate that the Song Dynasty was incompatible with the Qing Dynasty. So, does this mean that China in the classic has made mistakes in shaping the role image? This conclusion can't be drawn, because some netizens think that the program is right: since the image of the elderly is inconsistent with that of the young and middle-aged, this shows that the program group has this consideration.

After the Qing army entered the customs in 1644, it took only 20 years to wipe out the regimes of Dashun, Daxi and Nanming successively, which can be described as indomitable. Song lived to be 80 years old and died in 1666. In other words, he witnessed the arrogance of the Qing army and deeply understood that the situation was irreversible. Although he has always chosen to live in seclusion, it is impossible to disappear without a trace within 20 years, and the Qing army can still find him. Since it was discovered, Song had no choice but to compromise and shave off his long hair.

Of course, supporters and opponents have their own opinions, and both of them make sense. It's really hard to draw a conclusion. Xiao Jie believes in Song Yingxing's integrity and attitude, and also believes in CCTV's respect for historical figures, but in his later years,
