Manchu women have always valued hairstyle and headwear, and never done foot binding, thus renowned for "golden head and heavenly feet". Manchu women like fresh flowers, and often put a Yahuazan(flower-pressing hairpin) or Zhuhuazan(flower-bead hairpin) made of gold, silver or emerald, in their hair. This hairstyle is called " Qitou" (hair of the Manchu nobility) or " Jingtou" (hair of the capital). The most typical one is the " Liangbatou": tying the hair on the top of the head, plaiting it into a shape of swallowtail, letting the long hair hang on the back neck, and putting a fan-shaped hair coronet on it. Manchu married women must arrange their hair into a bun, with a silver Bianfang(an ornamental stick) thrust in it, called " Gaoliangtou" (sorghum-shaped hairstyle). So, if a Baqi(Eight-Banner) officer or soldier dies afield, his pigtail must be taken back to his hometown, to be buried solemnly, which was called "Shao xiao bian"(sending back the pigtail).īefore a Manchu woman grows up, she wears a single pigtail hanging behind at the end of the pigtail is wound with a red cord, the front hair is cut into a bang, and often a bead made of gold or silver or jewelry is fastened on the tip of the pigtail, which is swinging with the wind, to show a sense of beauty. Manchus thought the pigtail is where the true soul inhabits, regarding it as the essence of life. In the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911), Manchu adult men shaved all the hair off the front head, only leaving the hair on the top and at the back of the head, plaiting it into a tail hanging behind, mainly for the convenience of riding on a horse and hunting animals in the forest in mountainous area. It is elegant and magnificent, natural and graceful. Manchu hairstyle and headwear are unique, especially Manchu females' headwear.
