英文說明:The tops of these children’s hats, generally in shapes referred to as “wuyu” (屋宇—a peaked cover), resembled the headwear worn by Ming Dynasty scholars. The common name for this type of headwear, “zhuangyuan” or “first place scholar” (in the imperial examination) hat, stems from the fact that study led to official positions and wealth during the period of imperial examinations. Having children wear hats of this sort reflected the hope that they would gain rank and riches when they grew up and the belief that “wealth can be found in books”—a belief the Chinese have held for thousands of years. The pattern on this hat looks a great deal like traditional tiled roofs of China.
