英文說明:The tops of these children's hats, generally in shapes referred to as “wuyu” (屋宇—a peaked cover) or “cuji” (厝脊 “roof beam”), resembles the headwear worn by Ming Dynasty scholars. The design reflects the hope that the child will test first in the imperial exams when he grows up, hence the name “Zhuangyuan Hat” (literally, “First Place Scholar Hat”). A variety of fine embroidery techniques are used to decorate this example with auspicious symbols, like five-color peonies (representing “wealth and social position”) and ribbon birds (representing “代壽仙”).
