What distinctive costumes do Hui people have?

The main sign is on the head. Men all like to wear white round hats. Hui women often wear headscarves. Old Hui women wear black or brown headscarves in winter and white scarves in summer, and they have the habit of tying their trouser legs. Young women wear red, green or blue headscarves in winter and thin red, green and yellow scarves in summer. Hui women in mountainous areas love to wear embroidered shoes and have the habit of wearing earrings.

Function:

Hui costumes have multiple functions. One is to protect the body. This is the objective necessity of human production, life and survival. Choose different clothes according to different seasons. In summer, the Hui people in the north wear cotton-padded clothes, leather clothes and leather shoes. In winter, the Hui people in the northeast and northwest also wear cotton hats, leather hats or earmuffs to keep out the cold. Hui women also wear headscarves and scarves to prevent sandstorms.

The second is the role of decoration. Everyone has a love of beauty, and the Hui nationality is no exception. This is the inherent requirement for human beings to beautify themselves. For example, men wear shirts and green vests, women wear large heads, dye their nails and embroider clothes, all of which have decorative factors.

Third, there are factors of faith. When Hui people go to mosques or celebrate national festivals, they need to wear white clothes, socks and veils. Therefore, in addition to body protection and decoration, there are also factors of faith, which constitute the folk characteristics of Hui costumes.
