Li Fuwei, special consultant of Baoji City Folk Customs Museum, introduced: Tiger head hat is a far-reaching, simple and exquisite folk art, which contains a long-standing traditional tiger culture. Tiger head hat is a interpretation of tiger culture, and its production process is very cumbersome and complex, and it can only be completed through dozens of work processes such as cutting, pasting, inserting, stabbing, and sewing. The sides and back of the tiger hat should be embroidered with a very rich pattern of artistic expression and imagination, usually magpies, butterflies and other animals flying in the air, but also embroidered with flowers and plants such as plum blossoms and lotus flowers, so that they look lifelike and realistic. A complete tiger hat is actually a beautiful embroidered handicraft that usually takes five or six days to complete.
In the Baoji Mountains and Longxian and Qianyang Generation rural areas of Shaanxi Province, whenever winter comes, children will wear tiger head hats on their heads, a custom that has a history of hundreds of years. Tiger head hats are usually carefully sewn by the child's grandmother or grandmother, which is used to avoid the cold, but also means that the child wearing such a hat can make the tiger and tiger vigorous, ward off disasters and evils, and grow up safely.
