The Adulterous Shame of Green Hats
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Luigi has it rough. He has to play second banana to Mario, save
for those occasional movements when he can strike out on
his own. But, heck, the new Luigi’s Mansion game was delayed to next year. But that’s the least of the character’s troubles. See, Luigi wears a green hat.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In China, Luigi’s get-up is a faux pas: no Chinese man would want to wear a green hat. Green hats don’t mean much in Japan. In China, however, the expression “wearing a green hat” (戴绿帽子) is used to refer to a woman who cheats on her lover. One explanation is that the phrase apparently sounds similar to the word H25 for cuckold. Another story goes that during the Yuan Dynasty, the families of prostitutes were forced to wear green hats. And yet another says that male brothel workers in the Tang Dynasty wore green hats. (There’s even another story in which a hard-working man accidentally left the house wearing a green hat that his wife’s lover had left by mistake.)
So yeah, the origins of “wearing a green hat” varies from story to story, but pretty much everyone in China knows what wearing one means. (Heck, even green
hoodies might raise h25 com สล็อต eyebrows and lead to jokes!) However, when Chinese gamers look at Luigi’s green outfit, they probably think, oh hey, it’s Luigi. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’d wear a green hat like the iconic plumber.
