Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty
Chapter 305: The meaning of hair cutting
Many people have misunderstood that the ancients emphasized filial piety and their hair was considered a gift from their parents, so they did not cut their hair to show respect. However, this is not the case.
Since the Han Dynasty, the profession of hairdressing appeared. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, the hairstyles of women and men became more complicated and difficult for individuals to handle. Therefore, the profession of hairdressing emerged. In the Tang Dynasty, which was between the Han and Song dynasties, people would trim their excessively long hair every once in a while. It's just that they don't throw away the cut hair, but save it or burn it carefully.
Therefore, Li Xin's proposal of cutting hair is not so unacceptable. However, in the eyes of Datang people, short hair is definitely not a good-looking hairstyle. It is expected that such a request drew resistance and backlash.
Li Xinlang said: "Before entering the camp, I have already said that I am your chief. My words are orders. And your mission as soldiers is to obey orders. Today is the first day you enter the camp. Come on, I can forgive you for your mistakes. Now, I’ll say it again, everyone has to cut short hair."
Niu Jianhu immediately replied with the same volume: "If His Royal Highness Chu can't give a suitable reason, I, Niu, will never be able to obey! From now on, he will also report to His Majesty and explain what His Highness did in the barracks today."
His words quickly attracted the echo of other people, especially this group of honorable children. They all came from extraordinary backgrounds, and they came to participate in training on a whim. There were even some elements that were bewitched by Li Xin. How could they accept such grievances?
"It seems that you still don't understand the meaning of the four words'Military Order Rushan'." Li Xin slowly shook his head, and then looked at Niu Jianhu calmly, "Is it true that every command you can't understand, I must tell you Explain clearly? Are you the chief or am I the chief? Huh?"
Niu Jianhu was speechless.
Li Xin stared at Niu Jianhu blankly for a while, then smiled slightly, and said, "However, since today is the first day for all of you to enter the camp, I can make an exception and explain."
Niu Jianhu snorted, obviously didn't think Li Xin could say anything about it. Most other people also think that Li Xin is playing mystery, with unconcealable disgust and despair in his expression.
On the first day of entering the camp to participate in the training, I ran into an officer who likes to give orders and sensationalize. This is not good news for any soldier. It's just because of the pressure of their status that most of the little sergeants dare not speak out - they are not more noble than these noble young masters. If they confront a prince face to face, most of them will not die but also peel off their skin.
"Niu Jianhu, since you take the initiative to stand up, then I will ask you." Li Xin asked with a palm, "Why don't you want to cut your hair short?"
Niu Jianhu replied without hesitation: "Isn't that clear yet? How can parents whose body is affected by hair and skin be easily damaged?"
"Meaning, you are for filial piety?" Li Xin asked.
"Naturally." Niu Jianhu replied.
Li Xin smiled and shook his head, and said, "However, in my opinion, you are extremely unfilial."
Niu Jianhu said angrily: "His Royal Highness can't turn black and white like this? How am I not filial?" Indeed, Niu Jianhu has a reputation for filial piety in Beijing, and compared to other dudes, he seldom causes trouble. One of them is clear.
Li Xin smiled and looked at Niu Jianhu and said, "You are not willing to cut off the hair given to you by your parents, but you are willing to risk your life on the battlefield to fight. Think for yourself, which one is less filial? If you What is said is true, then everyone present, one of them counts as an unfilial person. Did I make a mistake?"
If you say that cutting your hair at will is unfilial, then taking the life your parents gave you to adventure on the perilous battlefield is not even more unfilial?
Niu Jianhu was straightforward, and Li Xin couldn't have said it before, so he could only say repeatedly: "How can this be confused?"
Li Xin nodded, and stretched out an index finger to light it randomly in the air, as if agreeing: "You are right, this is really not to be confused, otherwise, so many of the loyal ones who have thrown their heads for Datang. Shouldn't the scholars be classified as unfilial? This is obviously a fallacy that has slipped the world."
"So what's the problem?"
"It's very simple."
"For the country, the national character comes first, and the family character comes after. And you are soldiers, soldiers of Datang. From the day you become soldiers, you no longer belong to your little family. No matter whose husband you are, Whose child, your duty is to drain the last drop of blood for Datang and for the happy lives of countless people of Datang. This is a greater'filial piety' and also what we usually call'loyalty'."
"This is your bounden duty and your destiny."
"To tell you frankly, the soldiers I respect the most in my life, especially those who have been on the battlefield. Because I know that I can live a stable life like this today because of these respectable people silently in places I can't see. Give blood, even life."
"Today, I asked you to cut your hair, just to let you know what the word'soldier' means. Cutting your hair means that you have broken away from your past identity and become a real soldier, and it also represents your future. I will surrender my life and forgotten my death, and fight **** for the Tang Dynasty until the end of my life."
"I'm done."
