EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chinese Barber, Preparing a Traditional Long Pigtail (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures the introspective moment of a Chinese barber as he meticulously prepares to style a customer's long pigtail. The image, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Chinese hairdressing. The barber sits outside, on a simple wooden stool, surrounded by the tools of his trade. A large, ornate mirror reflects his focused expression, as he carefully combs through the customer's long, dark hair. The intricate braiding process of creating a traditional Chinese pigtail is evident in the pile of hair on the table before him. The long pigtail, or chang dao, was a popular hairstyle in China for centuries, particularly among women. It was believed to symbolize good luck, longevity, and modesty. The style required great skill and patience to create, making the barber an essential member of the community. Despite the passage of time, this traditional practice continues to hold significance in Chinese culture. Today, the long pigtail can still be seen among some elderly women and performers in Chinese operas and folk dances. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving cultural traditions and the role of tradespeople like the Chinese barber in shaping the history of their communities.
