英文說明:Worn by women since the Ming Dynasty, the headdress evolved from head wraps. To put it on, the center of the long strip was placed against the forehead and then the ends were tied in the back. They were worn, especially by older women, until the early years of the Republic. These headdresses were often decorated with exquisite embroidery, pieces of jade, or buttons. This example is adorned with flowers and the character for long life, symbolizing the wish for prosperity and long life.
