So they thought it's very Cute

When 'Qing' invaded 'Ming', they forced local people to adopt their life style, including cutting off all hair on the head except a small part on the back, aka the pig tail.

Cutting hair like that is against the traditional culture of Chinese, so many people chose not to obey. Qing rulers see this a symbol of disobedient. They were beheaded in the number of tens of millions. People in many cities were slaughtered entirely.

A group of Chinese artists thought the fact that so many people died of a hair style was funny. Shanghai Media Crop, Anhui TV and Guangzhou TV are jointly making a sitcom on this piece of history. The story is about how Qing army had helped local barbarians cleaning their head.

《七品李剃头》以轻喜剧的方式赞扬了在四川的清军破除汉人陋习的故事，把那些顽固坚持丑陋发型和衣服的汉人土匪剿灭干净。

　　不过，这个故事还不完整。在剿灭完那些冥顽不灵的数千万汉人土匪之后，四川终于彻底干净了，没有了人类的破坏，没有了汉人土匪的野蛮耕种，四川获得了新生。

　　于是，湖广填四川开始了，大清王朝在白纸上描绘了宏大的工程，大清的盛世开始了。
