Until the dawn of the 20th century, Western images of Han Chinese men invariable included the Queue (辮子). The partially shaved head and long braid show up in books, drawings, and early photos. However most Americans (Even some immersed in asian culture) have no idea why the hairstyle was worn, and why it was abandoned.
Join us for a hairstyle with Chinese Characteristics, as we discuss the history of the Queue, both in the United States and China.
