'Dream of the Red Chamber' was a novel describing the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty. Men in the Qing Dynasty usually did not braid their hair. Instead, they combed their hair neatly and called it 'braided hair'. During the Qing Dynasty, men's hair was regarded as a symbol of status. It was considered disrespectful and impolite to keep one's hair without braids. In addition, the Qing Dynasty's hair-cutting order and other measures also caused many men to be forced to lose their braids. Therefore, the male characters in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' did not have braids, which was a need for artistic expression and literary creation. It should be noted that modern society has gradually relaxed the management of hair, and many men have begun to keep their hair without braids. This does not mean that men in the Qing Dynasty had such a lifestyle.
