"Punctum"and Anxiety:"Braids"in Photography in the Late Qing Dynasty
At the end of Qing Dynasty,the meaning of Chinese braids was misappropriated and tampered,becoming a symbol of Western observation of China and Chinese self perception,and further giving rise to the domestic trend of braid cutting.This milestone movement marks China's transition from old to new,from traditional to modern.In this process,the connotation of braids was further extended in the photos.It not only became a thorn in the dissemination of China's image on a global scale,but also a catalyst for individual anxiety in China.Finally,with the end of the braid cutting movement,the long braid in the picture completed its function in the process of Chinese path to modern-ization and became an indispensable part of the modern world history.
