Why do Ningxia women wear hats?

This is determined by religion and climate.

This is mainly related to Islam. When Muslims kowtow to God, their foreheads and noses must touch the ground. For convenience, they wear small white hats without eaves. After some Hui people wear sun hats, they will move part of the brim to the back when they meet the party ceremony. It can be seen that wearing a small white hat without eaves is much more convenient than wearing a sun hat. Due to religious reasons, the habit of wearing a small white hat without eaves has gradually formed. Nowadays, Hui people, whether they are centenarians or children aged four or five, like to wear this "number hat" to mark their return to the nation. White hats are generally made of dacron, polyester cards, cotton cloth and other materials, as well as white cotton thread hooks. Black is made of velveteen and tweed, and it is also hooked with thick wool.
