24、   There was once an airline with a strict policy. The pilot on every flight must stand at the door with a big smile while the passengers were getting off the plane, saying, “Thank you for flying with us today. Enjoy the rest of your trip.”

Many people say the hats look like those worn during the Song Dynasty. But why did Song Dynasty officials wear hats that has two “wings”?

It is true that in the Song Dynasty, officials wore hats that had two long straight wings. According to one legend (传说), the hats were designed by Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of the dynasty.

One day, when listening to a minister’s report, Zhao noticed that many ministers were whispering (耳语) to each other and not respecting court’s (朝廷的) rules. Zhao came up with a practical solution. He required that wings should be added to the ministers’ hats.

Using a metal plate and bamboo strips as the frame, the “wings” prevented the ministers from talking to others sitting beside them. Since then, the court order had been kept.

Although the story is recorded in a book from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), some historians think the story may not be true: The wing-like extensions might just be a decoration (装饰) that could make people look dignified (庄严的). As they were not convenient to wear, the hats gradually disappeared in later dynasty. Maybe days later, the students will forget the “wings”, too.
