中国帽子起源的研究

A Study on the Origin of Chinese Hats

[研究意义]帽子作为一种重要的服装配饰和文化载体,其结构、工艺、发展等问题均已有研究,但其起源问题众说纷纭,尤其是产生年代及其产生原因。[研究方法]为了探索中国帽子的起源,本文主要采用概念分析法、文献调查法、比较研究法等方法进行研究。[研究结果和结论]研究认为:①中国帽子的出现早于6,000年前的新石器时代,很大程度上是出于狩猎、保暖等实用需求,其原型最有可能是模仿兽首而制造的兽皮或树皮头套,目的是在狩猎时进行伪装。②以各民族的头部装饰及帽子形制可分析得出装饰因素和图腾因素对于帽子的形成具有一定的影响,通过中外帽子的对比可发现宗教信仰对于帽子仅仅利用其独特位置以进行标识,对帽子的形成并未起到很大作用。

As an important garment accessory and cultural carrier,hats have been fully studied in terms of their structure,techniques and development,but there are different opinions on their origin,especially on their production time and reason.In order to explore the origin of Chinese hats,this paper mainly uses conceptual analysis,literature review,comparative research and other methods to find that hats appeared before the Neolithic Age which was around 6000 B.C,largely due to practical needs such as hunting and warmth preservation.The prototype of hats is probably a covering made of animal skin or bark in imitation of heads of animals so as to help camouflage during hunting.Based on the analysis of head decorations and hats'shapes of different ethnic groups,this paper concludes that decorative factors and totem factors have a certain impact on the formation of hats.By comparing Chinese hats with foreign hats,we find that religious beliefs have little effect on the formation of hats.
