Walking in the village of Wangtan in Houjie, you will find that the old woman wears a homemade headscarf on her head. Huang’s mother touched the headscarf on her head and told a story about the headscarf: this is the custom of Hakka women. The unmarried girl never dared to wrap it on her head.
The people in this village are all Hakkas. Today, the custom of wearing a headscarf has gradually disappeared. Only some grandmothers over the age of sixty or seventy are still wearing headscarves.
Customs come from hair care to keep warm
Huang said that there are many colors in the headscarf, such as pink and blue. The headscarf is mostly homemade, and the villagers sewed two straps on the towel and used to wrap the hair. There are two main uses for headscarves, one is to protect the hair, and the other is to keep warm.
Speaking of the custom of wearing a headscarf, Huang’s head is telling the truth. In ancient times, the Hakkas were mostly in the mountains, some in the hills, and some in the mountains. Opening the door is a tree, because it is often to walk on the mountain road, so it is inevitable that the branches will confuse the hair. Need to go into the mountains to cut wood and pick wild fruits, not to mention. So, in order to protect the hair, the Hakka women wrapped a square scarf on their heads.
Woman wearing a headscarf to marry
Huang’s mother said that the headscarf must be a married woman, and the unmarried girl never dared to wrap it on her head. But there are exceptions, that is, to marry this day.
Before marrying, the woman to be married must be groomed by a female elder and covered with a headscarf. Then the father or the elder brother hugged to the horseback or the sedan until the man’s home worshipped the heavens and the parents. After the two sides entered the cave, they could be removed by the groom’s official. Therefore, Hakka people often say "masked headscarves."
However, the headscarf of the new bridegroom is mostly red cloth or colorful flower towel, but it must not be black or white. After marriage, women generally insist on wearing a headscarf.
However, in the past few decades, the custom of wearing a headscarf has not been much marketed among young women, but in older women, the custom has been “retainedâ€. In addition to the summer is too hot, Huang mother will insist on wearing a headscarf at other times. (Dongguan Times Deng Wenyan Chen Ziqing)
