Why do many minority girls in universities wear headscarves?

China has been known as a country of clothes since ancient times, and the ethnic minorities in China are an important part of the country of clothes. "Women have money to wear on their heads and men have money to use on their horses" is the headdress of Mongolians. Mongolian headdress, as a living fossil in northern nomadic costumes, has been preserved to this day. Mongolian women can always be seen wearing gorgeous headdresses in Nadam Convention, Aobao Sacrifice, grand wedding and other occasions in Inner Mongolia, and every appearance always makes people shine. The secret of Mongolian headdress: it is the life of Mongolian women and the only "home"

Mongolian women's headdresses are mostly made of red coral, gold, silver, mussels, jade, crystals, agate and other raw materials, which are related to Mongolian concepts. As nomadic people, they don't accumulate all kinds of wealth like the Han nationality, but turn cattle and sheep into gold and silver jewelry to wear on their bodies, which not only shows wealth, but also facilitates preservation and migration. Mongolians like red, and the precious red coral coincides with their customs. When a Mongolian girl gets married, her parents must make a headdress for her. Get the headdress ready. It's quite expensive. You can see the wealth of a family from the headdress.

Generally speaking, women or young men in the family only wear headdresses worth about 300 to 400 silver dollars when they get married, while rich women or young men wear headdresses worth about 10 kilograms and tens of thousands of silver dollars when they get married. Such an expensive headdress can often get a few good horses or hundreds of good camels. However, headdress, no matter whether it is expensive or not, is necessary for Mongolian married women and cannot be left at will. You can't pick your headdress until you fall asleep at night. Taking it off at will be regarded as disrespectful to parents, elders and neighbors.

Mongolian women had the habit of "not showing their hair" in ancient times, especially after marriage. An unmarried woman has a braid hanging from her back. Only the day before the wedding, at the grand wedding, two respected elders were invited to "distribute their parents" and a grand distribution ceremony was held. At the ceremony, a girl's braid was unfolded and combed into two braids along the manes of two horses, and then the gorgeous and precious jewels given by the groom were put on the braids. Mongolian women must wear a full set of headgear before they get married at the age of 30.

After the age of 30, remove the part with eyebrow beads; After 40, you have to pick your ears. However, there are some things that you never need to take off, such as accessories and Hou Lian. There is only one exception, that is, after her husband died, she didn't wear any headgear. No wonder some people say that headdress is the life of Mongolian women and even becomes an indispensable thing.
