Why do Shaanxi people always wear towels?

In fact, many people may think that this has special significance, but it is not. If you enter Shaanxi, you will find that many people don't dress like this now.

However, the reason why we have such an impression is that there were many sandstorms in loess in Shaanxi in the past, and when people were working outside at that time, in order to resist sandstorms and wipe sweat conveniently, they always carried towels with them.

Wearing a towel on your head is the most suitable place, and this custom has been preserved. Until now, some Shaanxi people still wear towels on their heads.

So in fact, wearing a towel can resist the local sandstorm in Shaanxi. Now it is only a local custom, just like some special clothes in other places, or some special customs that are not available in other places.

In addition, in the eyes of Shaanxi people, it is also an ornament. Wrap a towel on your head, so that people will look more energetic and powerful.
