Yupian: Means "to cover". It was a ceremonial hat of the Yin dynasty. Book of Etiquette and Ceremonies (Yili), Section on the Capping Ceremony for Gentlemen: The Zhou dynasty wore biàn, the Yin dynasty wore xǔ, and the Xia dynasty wore shōu. Commentary: The name xǔ comes from hu. Hu means "to cover", referring to an item used to cover and adorn the head. Book of Odes (Shijing), Greater Odes: Often wearing ceremonial robes embroidered with black and white axe patterns, and donning the Yin xǔ. Guangyun: Sometimes also written in a variant form. Also, Tang Rhyme: kuàngyǔqiè. Jiyun, Yunhui: huǒyǔqiè, pronunciation xǔ. The meaning is the same. Yunhui: Master Mao says: The character is formed from mào (meaning "hat" or "cover") and xū (meaning "exhale" or "sigh"). If it is formed from rì (meaning "sun"), it is incorrect.
