In modern society, walking on the street, people will always see people wearing a variety of hats, such as fisherman's cap, cap, sun hat and so on, and even the styles are various. However, in ancient China, the wearing of hats was not so easy and casual. The hats worn by the ancients were exquisite. As a symbol of status and status in ancient times, hats can not be worn at will.
1. The origin of hat development
According to the description in ancient books, the Yellow Emperor was the first person to invent the crown and crown. At that time, only those with high power and status could wear it, such as the emperor and ministers. The later crown system was formed. At the beginning of the crown, there was only one crown beam. Although the beam was not wide, it had folds and was connected with the crown ring. The tassel is attached to both sides of the crown ring, and the rope must be tied under it. The crown includes the crown, which is the most noble crown. In the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the short tubular cap hoop was popular among the people, and was mostly worn by civilian men. The curved high crown is mostly used for the slave owners and nobles, and there are many kinds of decorations. The ancients not only used hats to represent identity, but also hair styles.
2. In the Western Zhou Dynasty: it was the official's privilege to wear a hat
During this period, the hierarchical system has been clearly established, and the idea of who should wear what clothes and who should wear what hat has gradually formed. Officials can still wear hats, and only their privileges can not be owned. Therefore, even the generation of Confucius and Mencius should not wear a hat, but only wrap their hair in a handkerchief. The common people use more headscarves, while the poor use only hemp rope. In the Han Dynasty, people paid more attention to wearing hats, including the emperor and the scholar officials. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, GuanLiang has also changed. Not only has the crown and beam become wider and wider, but also the names are increasing. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this fashion changed a little, and the common people could use it.
3. Wei and Jin Dynasties: literati and scholars can also wear hats
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was much turbulence in the country and the country, and there was nothing to be done for the change of political power. With the participation of other nationalities, great changes have been made in clothing. Wearing hats is no longer the privilege of officials, and literati can also wear hats. In this period, the headgear was not only popular among literati, but also well-known princes, generals and soldiers. However, civilians can only wear the cheapest black headscarf, that is, the source of black shawls. In the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch became the representative of the eunuch family. Before that, hats represented power and status, so people did not pay attention to its efficacy.
4. Sui and Tang Dynasties: hats became popular among the people
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the whole country took on an open attitude, and the power position represented by the hat in the former dynasty was no longer used. At this time, hat wearing was also popular among the people. In addition to the subtle differences in material color decoration, the style is not different. Hats are popular among the common people, and the styles are various, including mat hat, big hat and so on. During this period, raoshi women also had the habit of wearing hats, and there were many styles, such as Jin Jin Hun hat, curtain hat and so on.
5. Song Dynasty: the interesting origin of official hat
In the Song Dynasty, if we say that the hat is the most unique, it is also the official hat worn by the ministers in the court. According to legend, this hat was made by Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. Although he ascended to the position of emperor of the ninth five year plan, he still had scruples about his heart. During the early Dynasty, officials whispered and whispered in front of him, which made Longyan angry. Zhao Kuangyin was so worried about it that he came up with a hat to put an end to this phenomenon. He installed two exaggerated and super long ears on both sides of the official hat to prevent this kind of phenomenon. This cap was called to be a straight foot Futou, which was used between the monarch and the minister. It is said that Dongpo scarves were created by Su Dongpo. In fact, they are not. In essence, they are ancient scarves. Until the Ming Dynasty, Dongpo scarves were not lonely, and most of the people wore Futou and ZhangJin.
6. Ming Dynasty: restoration of crown system
This phenomenon changed again until the Ming Dynasty, when people were forbidden to wear black gauze hats, and since then, they have been linked with officials again. The black yarn folding towel was worn by the emperor, and the painted yarn Futou with wings spread was worn by officials in the dynasty. The common people wore mostly square flat towel and six in one hat. Both hats were designed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. The six in one unified hat is also the later generation's melon skin hat. Until the Qing Dynasty, the hat again had a major change. In the Qing Dynasty, influenced by foreign culture, people at that time shaved their hair, and officials were also influenced by this, and paid attention to falling off their heads. However, the common people do not pay so much attention to, and the styles are various. They also take into account certain performance, such as leather hats for ear protection and windbreaks. In the later Qing Dynasty, the introduction of foreign culture made more and more styles of hats.
