Honggaitou
The word ‘Honggaitou’ is derived from the classical Chinese characters 鴻蓋頭 (hónggàitóu) which is composed of three characters, 鴻 (hóng) meaning “big” or “big bird” and 蓋 (gài) meaning “cover” or “hat” and 頭 (tóu) meaning “head”. The word ‘Honggaitou’ is usually used to refer to the specific type of conical shape hat which was historically used by Confucian scholars during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. The primary function of this type of hat is to protect the head from the sun, yet it also serves a symbolic purpose as a signifier of intelligence, bravery and wisdom. It is widely believed that the design of this type of hat dates back to the Warring States period (475-221 BC). The shape and form of this hat have been preserved over centuries, but the materials used have changed in response to environmental, economic and cultural factors. This has resulted in hats being made of a variety of materials such as wool, cotton, silk, rattan and bamboo. Morphologically, the word ‘Honggaitou’ is composed of two morphemes, ‘hong’ and ‘gaitou’, the former meaning ‘big’ or ‘grand’ and the latter which means ‘cover’ or ‘hat’. The combined meaning of the two morphemes, therefore, is ‘big covering hat’ which gives us a clear indication of the physical characteristics of the hat and its primary purpose.

Honggaitou is a term used in anime, manga and comics to describe a style of drawing headwear, clothing and costumes. It involves creating an abstract or cartoonish silhouette of the character's outfit, similar to the outlines used for comic book characters. The headwear, clothing and costumes appear to be made from a single continuous outline, which is then filled with solid colors and textures to give a simplified, cartoonish appearance. The colors and textures of the garments are usually kept simple and muted, so as to not detract from the character's facial features and expressions. It is a popular style among animators and manga artists alike due to its simplicity and its ability to convey characters' personalities without a lot of details.
