Yuan Lu's longevity braids:

Something that stood out to me about Yuan Lu's character styling in A journey to love is his hair, mainly because the other leads don't have small braids like his.

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

But it didn't really occur to me that they might be longevity braids until i came across this Weibo post:

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

OP: "a journey to love has killed me once again, I've only just noticed that nearing the end Yuan Lu's longevity braids have come loose. Longevity braids coming loose represent Yuan Lu's ending. Save me, a journey to love really knows how to knife someone."

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:
Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

from these shots (ep 8), there's at least three braids on his right and one on his left

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:
Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

and yet in these shots (ep 35), as op pointed out, there are no braids in his hair

And then I came across this Douyin about Yuan Lu:

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

Douyin caption: "actually Yuan Lu has a few more braids called "longevity braids" than the others, something that elders would usually tie for frail children."

So I went to double check the cultural meanings behind longevity braids (it's a sort of platform like Quora/Reddit, so the answers are not 100% accurate, take with a grain of salt):

Question: Why do some boys keep a small braid at the back of their head?

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

Community answer: if boys in the village have braids, it's largely for this reason: if the child is frail since young they will start tying a "life braid" once the child starts growing hair. They will only cut the braid after the child is five weeks, six weeks, or twelve weeks old.

Yuan Lu's Longevity Braids:

Community answer: The practice on our side is for the "more cherished"/younger son to keep a braid, there is no such thing as to keep it if the kid is sickly. But in the North there is such a thing as "longevity braids", to hope that kids can grow up healthy.

translations by me, apologies for any inaccuracies (I may have passed Chinese back in school but I won't claim to be fluent in it).
