In ancient times, when people worked, they would put a cloth around their necks to wipe their sweat. Later, it gradually evolved into a hat form with practical functions such as keeping warm, heatstroke prevention, windproof and rainproof. At the same time, hats also experienced a process of symbolizing ruling power and noble status and popularizing them to the public.
According to "Nan Gu Wang Yeyu", volume 28 records: "Towel, wear a towel. This is wiping things, and future generations will wipe them on their heads. " It can be seen that the towel was originally a cloth around people's necks to wipe sweat when they were working. Due to the low productivity and harsh natural conditions at that time, in order to resist sandstorms, hot summer and cold current, people gradually wrapped towels around their heads from their necks. In this way, many practical functions such as keeping warm can be realized, and towels have gradually evolved into the earliest prototype of hats.
