Excuse me, what about the hats of officials in the Tang Dynasty?

The costumes of ancient officials were extremely exquisite, which not only revealed their identity, but also reflected certain aesthetics. For example, the official hats of men in the Tang Dynasty have certain fixed shapes, which are both stiff and beautiful, symbolizing status. In fact, the official hat of the Tang Dynasty originally evolved from a headscarf wrapped in hair. The official hats we saw in the film and television dramas about the Tang Dynasty are all restored according to the records in the history books, so they are of great reference value. Among them, large-scale film and television dramas with great reference value include Detective Di Renjie and The Legend of Wu Mei Niang.

The professional name of the hat worn by officials in the Tang Dynasty is Shantou. That is, the headscarf that wraps the hair mentioned above. In fact, this kind of hat is the most common in the Tang Dynasty, but not obvious in other dynasties. It originated in the Sui Dynasty. The most primitive appearance of this kind of steamed bread is that it has four corners, which is convenient for wrapping hair. However, due to the different folding methods popular in each person and each period, the shape of steamed bread is different, so the steamed bread formed is different, so the hat holder placed in the hat is different, and finally the shape of steamed bread is different.

Later, the unified shape of steamed bread was formed, also for the sake of neatness and beauty. This was put forward in a letter from Shang Shu Shang, the etiquette department of Sui Dynasty. It was also his suggestion that promoted the official hat with a fixed shape, commonly known as the black hat. Perhaps, this does history is really too conscientious, but it also conforms to the temperament of his does history, after all, it is specialized in etiquette. This kind of hat was just an official hat from the beginning. Later, folk men, or officials, also wore such hoes on their uniforms on weekdays.

This is because Li Shimin likes to wear a hoe in his daily life, so people learn from the emperor's behavior. You know, ordinary people like the atmosphere in the palace of learning best, so in some palace dramas, the harem advocates frugality, just for people outside the palace not to learn extravagant styles. In the Tang Dynasty, although they were all hoes, they were different in different periods. For example, the early hoes also had many characteristics of headscarves, that is, soft feet, and later hoes were hard feet, which made them more convenient to wear.
