阿美婦女傳統毛線頭飾

傳統婦女頭飾是每年豐年祭必戴的基本配備。傳統花帽以外也可使用毛線頭飾、公主帽替代，有些部落可會以有無婚姻為分水嶺，若已婚者則配戴傳統花帽，未婚者配戴公主花帽。依據國家文化記憶部說法，花帽上的裝飾各有不同含意：頭飾代表尊榮，膠管花代表著花草，太陽照射的光芒，亮片則是星星的意思。 豐年祭時女性族人要一定要帶花帽表示對祖靈的尊敬，但近年來因製作工藝複雜且製作專家少，會以毛線頭飾替代。

Traditional women's headdresses are essential accessories worn during the annual Harvest Festival. In addition to the conventional flower hat, woolen headpieces and princess hats can be used as alternatives. In some tribes, marital status may be the dividing line, where married women wear the traditional flower hat, while unmarried women wear the princess hat. According to the National Culture Memory Department, the decorations on the flower hat carry different meanings: the headdress represents honor, the plastic tube flowers symbolize plants, and the sun's rays and the sequins represent stars.During the Harvest Festival, female tribal members must wear the flower hat to show respect for their ancestors. However, in recent years, due to the complexity of the crafting process and a shortage of skilled artisans, woolen headpieces have been used as substitutes.
