Tang Emperor Xuanzong wearing Tang official headwear
The Tang official headwear or Chuijiao Putou (垂腳襆頭), lit. "head cover" or "head wrap", was the headwear of Tang dynasty officials. It consisted of a black hat with two wing-like flaps. However, contrary to the similar Song official headwear in the Song dynasty, the flaps drooped down.[citation needed]
