越南斗笠 (nónlá)

斗笠是越南的文化象征，是一頂防水又美觀的圓錐帽。斗笠的起源與越南悠久的稻作文化息息相關。相傳在一次大洪水中，女神戴著用四片大葉子和竹子編成的帽子，幫助越南人民倖免於難。因此，越南人民便學習女神，以棕櫚葉和竹子為材料，始製作自己的斗笠。事實上，製作斗笠的過程十分精巧繁複：人們需要細心地採集葉片，再經過曬乾、壓平等工序，把葉片編織在竹製的帽架上。

The Nón Lá: The Hat That Saved the Day!

The Nón Lá, Vietnam's iconic conical hat, is a national symbol of Vietnam. Its origins are rooted in Vietnamese rice farming culture, linked to a legend of a goddess who, during a great flood, wore a protective hat of four large leaves and bamboo.

Inspired by this, the Vietnamese people created their own nón lá hats, using palm leaves and bamboo. Crafting these hats is a skillful process: leaves are carefully gathered, dried, flattened, and woven onto a bamboo frame, resulting in a waterproof and beautiful head covering.
