There is a saying in Hubei Province: Sharp and Huangpi are more than Xiaogan, Sharp and Hanchuan. What do you mean?

It is said that the hat making in the three places is very distinctive. Nowadays, hats are only available in rural areas, but everyone must be familiar with them. The Red Army soldiers in movies always wear bamboo stick hats made of oiled paper or bamboo leaves to keep out the rain (or sun); The hat made by Huangpi people is sharp, so it is difficult for rain to accumulate on the hat, while the hat made by Xiaogan people is twisted downwards, so the rain drops down more easily, and the whole hat is more durable. Hanchuan people have concentrated the advantages of hats in the two places, not only sharpening the top of the hat, but also twisting an edge on the brim, so there is an image saying, "Pointing Huangpi, twisting Xiaogan, and twisting it is Hanchuan.

That's what the saying means. The present meaning can be understood literally. In fact, I envy the cleverness of Hanchuan people.
