"Hey, did you say something to the teacher?"
"No, I'm listening to the class. Please, can you please not disturb me? This class is about beauty and hairdressing."
"Hey, this isn't a beauty and hairdressing school, okay? Are you trying to piss me off?"
"You have to know that ancient women's hair accessories were called headwear, which meant face. They not only represented their aesthetics, but also their wealth and status. They were extremely important and should never be worn carelessly just for your own pleasure. Hahaha."
"New classmate, what the hell are you talking about? Shut your stinky mouth. From now on, you won't have the right to speak where we are."
"Hurry up and sit down. It's time for class now, and the new students are answering the teacher's questions. If you don't sit down, you'll probably be expelled too. I don't want to be implicated by you."
"Please, it was Ji Nianqin last time..."
"You want to speak? Then you answer. In line with the determination to punish past mistakes and prevent future ones, and to restore the spirit of righteousness, why did you choose the Ming Dynasty? Why would I choose the Ming Dynasty today?"
"I'm not sure, teacher, but from what I heard from this new student, she's practically treating this place like a beauty and hairdressing school. What's with all the fancy stuff? We're just students, why would we need all that ostentation?"
"You're wrong, classmate. The teacher is currently discussing the history of the Ming Dynasty. The headwear worn by women during the Ming Dynasty evolved from the ordinary to a rather regular combination. Therefore, the teacher has specially collected a lot of information on hairpins for everyone to see. This will help us better understand the history of that time."
"Teacher, don't worry about it. I want to listen carefully now. Does each style have a specific name, shape, and wearing position?"
Ji Nianqin spoke proudly that after attending classes for many consecutive days, she finally arrived at a place she was familiar with.
"That's right, so the Ming Dynasty is a perfect example. However, I'm only here for academic exchange. If there's anything I'm saying that's not quite right, you're more than welcome to ask."
"Teacher, let me ask you, since you clearly know that it might be wrong, why do you want to slap yourself in the face?"
"A slap in the face? Why would you say that?"
"Teacher, those pictures in your slides, I look at them again and again, they're clearly of men, okay?"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, he was met with a lot of laughter.
"Student, what you said is not correct. Everyone in it is a woman. However, because movies and TV dramas rarely fully present the hairpins worn in the Ming Dynasty, what you have seen in the past may not be consistent with history."
"Is it so ugly? No wonder many movies and TV series don't choose to film it. Is this true?"
"Teacher, as I've just explained, I've researched relevant materials, and this is just a small insight. It may not be correct, but it's mostly reasonable. Don't you find the Ming Dynasty particularly mysterious? When studying history, you also find it a bit difficult. So, I'll change my approach and look at the hairpins. Perhaps you'll be able to immediately understand many of the situations and policies of the time."
"Oh my god, teacher, please stop teasing me, okay? Look at that cockscomb on top. Hahahaha, I don't believe that this was the aesthetic taste of the Ming Dynasty..."
