Hairstyle worn by the Jurchen and Manchu peoples of Manchuria
A queue or cue is a hairstyle worn by the Jurchen and Manchu peoples of Manchuria , and was later required to be worn by male subjects of Qing China .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] Hair on top of the scalp is grown long and is often braided , while the front portion of the head is shaved. The distinctive hairstyle led to its wearers being targeted during anti-Chinese riots in Australia and the United States .[ 6]
The edict that Han Chinese men and others under Manchu rule give up their traditional hairstyles and wear the queue, the Tifayifu , was met with resistance, although opinions about the queue did change over time. Han women were never required to wear their hair in the traditional women's Manchu style, liangbatou , although that too was a symbol of Manchu identity.[ 7]
