I love your descriptive writing about these ancient, beautiful hairstyles! It would definitely be amazing to have these elegant hairstyles! I wish you could make a video on how to make the hairstyles. I love your articles！

I really enjoyed reading the article. It would be a good idea to make a video on how the hair styles are done. Keep the historical info coming.I love learning about ancient Chinese history.

Now I get why monks shave their heads! Since the hair is a gift from their parents and they are technically leaving the family, they shave their heads to symbolize that they are no longer a part of that family, nor wish for anything from it. That's at least the conclusion that I got from this article...lol:)

Fascinating! Why don't you do a video on how these hairstyles are done? Or hold a Shen Yun event teaching public how to do these hairs in real life, it will be an amazing event!

Continue posting such great articles..

Loved reading this article. Wish I could have my hair in one of these styles.

Educational and hilarious!
