Weimao (Chinese: \u5e37\u5e3d ; pinyin: w\u00e9i m\u00e0o), which evolved from Mili (Chinese: \u7f83\u4366 ; pinyin: m\u00ec l\u00ed), is a hat usually made of black thread, surrounded by a wide brim, with thin silk that only reaches the neck or shoulders to cover the face.<\/p>\n

However, Weimao is shorter than Mili.<\/p>\n

Weimao is only up to the neck in length, and Mili covers from top to bottom through the body.<\/p>\n

History<\/h4>\n

Weimao began to appear in the Sui dynasty, together with Mili.<\/p>\n

With the consolidation of Wu Zetian\u2019s political status and the rise of women\u2019s self-awareness, wearing Mili\u2019s \u201cfull body veil\u201d obviously could not meet the aesthetic requirements of women. Since then, Mili has fallen out of mode.<\/p>\n

From then on, Weimao became popular among girls.<\/p>\n

The removal of the Mili from the Tang dynasty ritual system may reflect the increased social status of women in the Tang dynasty during that period.<\/p>\n

This change not only reflects the aesthetic taste of Tang dynasty women but also the openness and tolerance of Tang society.<\/p>\n

Weimao is often worn by women when driving or traveling, and is used to cover their faces and prevent passers-by from peeking.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of Weimao<\/h4>\n

1. Short, light, and only up to the neck\/shoulder in length.<\/p>\n

2. See-through, and can be opened by hand.<\/p>\n

In 1972, clay figures of a woman on a horse were unearthed in Astana, Turpan, Xinjiang, and after restoration, Weimao\u2019s original appearance can be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
