The Futou hat, also known as the Putou hat, is a traditional Chinese headwear with a rich history spanning over a thousand years. The name "Futou" translates to "head scarf" or "head-cloth". It was originally a turban-like headscarf tied at the back, with its ends extending outward as decorative elements.

Futou originated during the Han dynasty, where it was initially called "Fujin" (headscarf). It evolved through the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and became more defined during the Sui dynasty.

This headwear not only served as a practical accessory but also symbolized social status and official rank. In the Tang dynasty, the Futou became widely popular and was commonly worn by government officials and the general populace. It continued to be used in the Song and Ming dynasties, with the Ming version known as the "". 

Today, the Futou hat is an important part of Chinese cultural heritage and is often seen in historical dramas and cultural exhibitions.
