Martin Martini的《鞑靼战纪》，他的汉名叫衞匡国。作为基督教的传教士，他跨越了明亡清兴前后十余年，滞留于滞纳南部，作为实地目击者，他记录的可信性是毋庸置疑的。在他的《鞑靼战纪》里有大量关于辫发的记载，关于浙江省绍兴府，他这样写道：“鞑靼军没有受到什么抵抗就占领了绍兴府，浙江省南半府县也被这样轻易地占领，但是当鞑靼军颁布新规强制汉人剃发易服后，所有的汉人——无论士兵还是平民——都拿起了武器，为国家，也为皇室，更为了自家头上的毛发，以命相搏，抵抗鞑靼军，并把他们赶到了钱塘江以北。”当时Martini辞别在明朝为官的唐王，居住在浙江南部，温州陷落，他也被鞑靼军亲手剃发胡服。
so in your mind, hanfu is just cosplay? so funny, so in your mind, revival of Confucius is also cosplay, and more, we talk about hanfu, but some one deny the history that's why made us angry.
what? at that time , the westerns were not against china, so you even want deny the records of westerns? at that time china was not PRC, why western against china and made fate records? do you have logic? this is history records not modern western politic records
so i can tell this kind words to you : You can not represent all chinese, who support Confucius theory , and many chinese against Confucius theory too, so you mean, Confucius theory is fault just because some people against it? because you said in the same way to us
so the point is what? we are talking about history records , not modern western attitude on china , why you say western history records were fate?
so you don't understand what we want too, we support hanfu revival, not mean against others nations, or force other nations wear hanfu, and not force han chinese wear hanfu daily lives , just use hanfu as our symbol , just like japan has kimono, korea has hanbok, vietnam has ao dai, india has sari, why han chinese want revival hanfu, you all against and mislead others this is racist? so funny and unbelievable isn't it?
himself is a liar , just check the whole records of discussion of this article you will know , he is always deny historylies spreading?
you want more history records of Hanfu's banned by qing government?
so you should check hanfu movement, of course we not just wear hanfu, with hanfu movement, we revival our good behavior , and glory , and culture, like poems, chinese drawing art, chinese traditional instruments, not only a costume
record by Embassy of Great Britain
so why not against japan? japan control much bigger territory of asia , if you want more land.

Wow the second pic you gave, 八里桥之战， qing soildiers used Bows and arrows, spears against french soldiers' gun. great, it made difference with long knives? same Cold steel against modern gunsA Chinese scholar from Qing dynasty recorded that Cantonese are good at using air rifle, even a ten years old can "shoot a coin 100 steps far away" (just a hyperbole).
"粤人善鸟枪，山县民儿生十岁即授鸟枪一具，教之击鸟。久之，精巧命中，置于肘上背物而击之，百步外钱孔可贯。鸟枪以新会所造为精，枪成置于掌上，击物而枪 不动，掌亦无损。然后架之于肘用之，其人在前，则转身而横击之，无不妙中。枪既锤炼精熟，夜必悬于墙，否则曲而不直。引药又宜长带在身，使人气温暖，方易 著火。炭则以糯谷为之，盖沙炮贵长，鸟枪贵轻，而药皆宜干燥。此外有三眼枪者，有置于刀枪之末，本末互用者，有交枪者。其曰瓜哇铳者，形如强弩，以绳悬络 肩上，遇敌万铳齐发，贯甲数重。其曰沙炮者，以百炼精铁为之。长者一丈五六，或二丈。每一发可毙人于三箭地外。其为制也，皮宜厚，腹宜光滑，口宜稍大于 身，使弹子易于喷撒。弹子多至升许，一发毙数十百人。杂以快钯藤盾，长短相救，用之战阵，可以每战辄无敌矣。"－－［南越笔记 ］
