The more contact he had with the people of the Tang Dynasty, the more Earl Carlton understood the pride of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In the eyes of many Tang people, there is no distinction between Tang people, Europeans, and Americans in this world, only Tang people and barbarians!
Except for the Tang people, they are all barbarians!
Earl Carlton has also learned Chinese. Although he is not very proficient in it, he also knows that the word barbarian is not a good word.
He, Earl Carlton, is a civilized man, a decent civilized man, definitely not a barbarian.
When I was receiving officer training from the Tang Dynasty in Cadiz, in order to prove that I was a civilized person.
He began to learn Chinese, learn to use the chopsticks used by the Tang Dynasty people, learn to enjoy the food of the Tang Dynasty people, wear the clothes of the Tang Dynasty people, and use the daily necessities used by the Tang Dynasty people.
He even shaved off his hair and became a bald head.
This is not because he thinks a bald head looks good, but because he doesn't want others to see his blond hair.
Blond hair and blue eyes, in the eyes of many Tang people, are almost synonymous with barbarians!
And this concept has even affected Europeans who have had more contact with people from the Tang Dynasty. After more contact, even they themselves feel that their red hair, blond hair, and blue eyes look awkward, and sometimes they even feel that
Prepare your own.
Therefore, many Europeans who have had more contact with people of the Tang Dynasty, especially Europeans who have a deep understanding and study of the culture of the Tang Dynasty, will mostly choose to do one thing: shave their heads!
No beard or anything.
In this way, people from the Tang Dynasty would not see their weirdly colored hair at a glance and think of them as barbarians.
In addition to this, he shaved his head to imitate the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
It was quite common among soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to shave their heads!
Although in the early years it was said that the body and skin were inherited from the parents, most soldiers tied up their hair to fight. This is why the military caps of the Tang Dynasty were high-domed hats. Instead of having a high hat, this
I can’t cover my tied up hair!
But as the wars continued, the soldiers of the Tang Army started to wear long hair more and more. Too long hair mainly affected battlefield rescue.
When the head is injured, the hair will affect the treatment.
Therefore, many soldiers who are concerned about their lives start to think of ways, but directly cutting them short is absolutely not possible.
But short hair is really ugly and incompatible with the aesthetic values of the Tang Dynasty people.
The aesthetic values of the Tang Dynasty people are still very traditional. The requirement for handsome men is to have long and flowing hair...
The word "shawl long hair" is not only used to describe women, but also to describe men.
So short hair or anything like that is absolutely not acceptable. It is too ugly. If you are walking on the street and are seen by those little ladies, they will probably cover their mouths and laugh on the spot.
Later they got inspiration from the monk!
Short hair is too ugly, long hair affects combat, so I might as well just go bald, or at worst, tell others that I have started to believe in Buddhism...
Isn't it normal for a man who believes in Buddhism to shave his head...
There's the first, there's the second!
After so many years, many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, whether officers or soldiers, had bald heads. However, once they retired, they would grow their hair again, and within a few years they would have long, flowing shawl hair.
Naturally, Earl Carlton didn't know the underlying reason why so many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty kept their heads bald. He just simply didn't like his blond hair.
I have been in contact with people from the Tang Dynasty a lot. Now when I look at my blond hair and the thick hair on my body, I always feel like an orangutan...
Still a golden retriever star!
So he shaved his head and shaved his body regularly. Unfortunately, he shaved more and more, which made him very sad!
Earl Carlton, with his shaved head, is wearing a standard Tang Dynasty suit!
The Tang suit he is wearing is not the traditional Hanfu of the Tang Dynasty people, but specifically refers to the professional attire that has emerged in the Tang Dynasty in recent decades.
Although in formal occasions or at home or in other life scenes, people of the Tang Dynasty still mainly wear Hanfu. A fine silk brocade robe, a jade belt, and a folding fan painted by a famous artist are the classic attire of a noble prince.
However, in the workplace, people in the Tang Dynasty generally wear professional attire. As long as the Hanfu is too large and elegant, it is too dangerous and easy to get dirty in a factory full of machines.
However, the short robes and other clothing worn by traditional farmers and others are too low-end and do not meet the aesthetic needs of the middle and upper classes.
In the end, these people chose the military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty as the basis, modified them, and used the finest fabrics, especially woolen clothes, to wear at work, thus developing the unique professional attire of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of professional attire of the Tang Dynasty people has been developed in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and there are many styles. At the same time, as the footprints of the Tang Dynasty people spread all over the world, it has spread to the whole world.
At first, only a few indigenous personnel serving the Tang Dynasty began to try to wear this type of Tang professional attire, but later many indigenous people also began to try to wear it.
It's just that these clothes are not cheap, because this kind of professional attire was originally created by the middle and upper class people of the Tang Dynasty for the convenience of their work. From the beginning, professional attire was positioned as mid-to-high-end clothing.
In Datang itself, ordinary business attire commonly worn by ordinary office workers probably costs about ten yuan.
And this is basically a month’s salary for many office workers.
Only the business attire worn by senior executives is even more expensive.
Therefore, in Europe, only the powerful indigenous people who had more contact with the Tang Dynasty could wear handmade professional attire made of fine cashmere.
The Tang suit worn by Earl Carlton is a very standard Tang suit. The inner part is a round-neck shirt. Although this shirt is worn as the innermost part, the collar part is also exposed. It must be used to maintain dignity.
High-quality silk is naturally not cheap.
Just this round-neck shirt cost Earl Carlton nearly two Tang Yuan.
But this shirt is considered cheap, because the jacket and trousers he wears are more expensive, so expensive that he only wears them on formal occasions!
The coat is a black right-front jacket, tight-fitting, with narrow sleeves. It is made of fine cashmere from the Tang Dynasty. Even the buttons on the right-front jacket are gold-plated buttons.
The trousers are straight straight pants, also made of fine cashmere.
Just such a jacket and trousers cost Earl Carlton sixteen Tang Yuan!
However, a standard and decent Tang suit is more than just that.
It also included a silk round hat. This hat was not cheap, costing Earl Carlton two Tang Yuan.
A pair of high-end leather shoes produced by Datang cost Earl Carlton five Tang yuan.
Then there are standard folding fans or walking sticks. Young people generally use folding fans, while middle-aged and elderly people mostly use walking sticks.
Earl Carlton was only twenty-six years old this year. He felt that he was still a young man, so he also used a folding fan. This folding fan was very expensive and cost him 4.6 Tang Yuan.
To be honest, Earl Carlton still has no idea why people in the Tang Dynasty like to bring a folding fan when they go out, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
And many people even use folding fans to fan themselves in winter...
Earl Carlton tried to do this, and he only had one feeling: it was so damn cold!
