In order to bless the healthy growth of infants, Hani children's hats are “mother's lapel for the clothes, father's sleeve for the hat”, symbolizing the parents' body and soul shelter, implying the protection of health and wellness and guardianship of the soul. Children's hats are usually sewn with six straight pieces of green and blue cloth, and the tops of the hats are decorated with pig's teeth, sea shells, tiger's (leopard's) teeth, pangolin scales and shells, as well as wild plants such as seeds of grasses and fruits and peppercorns.
