Why is the headscarf called a bandanna in foreign countries?

Turbans are the name of Chinese people, but Americans are more accustomed to calling them bandanas.

As the name suggests, the difference in thinking between Chinese and foreigners can be seen from the name of the item. The term "turban" in Chinese people's appellation limits its scope and method of use, and it only exists as a head ornament. Even if you wear different colors, it is just a head ornament. And from the American name "bandana", we can see that the "turban" has a lot of extended functions.

In the United States, the headscarf is not just a head ornament. It is not only used to gather up the messy hair on the face, but also to wipe sweat when sweating during exercise; it can also be folded and used as a scarf when eating; When you clean at home on weekends, you can also use it to cover your mouth and nose and use it as a face towel.

From the scarf, it can also reflect the difference in thinking between Eastern and Western people. Eastern people pay more attention to internal changes, while Westerners pay more attention to external functions!
