Why do Mongols wear pointy hats?

It is said that the hat worn by Mongols was originally without eaves. Later, during Kublai Khan's Yuan Shizu period, when he went to Shangdu for summer hunting every year, the accompanying Chayu Empress saw that the sun was dazzling when he was hunting, and he couldn't see his prey clearly, so she added eaves to the original hat to keep out the sun.

From the appearance and function, Mongolian shepherds' hats mainly include: dome hat, pointed hat, snow hat, Taoerqike hat, three-ear hat, four-ear hat and round hat.
