Braid-cutting movement
Since people's minds were imprinted with the idea that everything on their body, including their hair and skin, was a gift from their parents, men had a strong bond with their queues. Before the collapse of the Qing government, men cutting the braid was regarded as highly immoral, anti-social behaviour. After the Republic was founded, the provisional government in Nanjing persuaded its male citizens to cut off their braids and to revive Han traditions. Braid-cutting became all the rage as a result.
In this cartoon, a number of men climb up an old man's head as if climbing a mountain to cut off his braid, using scissors, a sword, and even an axe and saw. It conveys the idea that it takes a lot of time and effort to persuade people to break from tradition.
