Why do Sichuan traditional clothes wear white headscarves?

Some people say it's to commemorate Zhuge Liang, while others say it's to commemorate the ancient king of Shu, but all of them are groundless. Because most Sichuanese are immigrants from Hubei, and the culture of Zhuge Liang's time is not the current Bashu culture. Not to mention the ancient Shu period of other nationalities.

In fact, most people wear white headscarves, and a few people also wear headscarves of other colors. It's just a cultural phenomenon, perhaps for decoration or some convenient function, but there is no way to prove it. All the people wearing headscarves are working people. Businessmen, officials, rich people, civil servants and students don't wear headscarves, but all wear melon-skin hats.

Guess 1: People wearing white headscarves should look more energetic and healthier. People who may work hope that this will make them more motivated and cheer up their peers. Just like people in many industries have to wear uniforms. Guess 2: used to wrap sundries, such as stuffing some coins, small items, and inserting a cigarette bag. Guess 3: Working people use it to wipe or absorb sweat at any time. Guess 4: It's just a habit, which has no special meaning, just like many people wear white socks and many people wear plaid shirts. . .
