Black terai, can be called the special product in Shaoxing city. It has long history and is worn by the old people. It is firmly to use for almost ten years. When you go into the streets, wine shop, tearoom, you can see the some Shaoxing people with the black terais.
Nowadays, the people who like to wear the black terai are getting smaller, but I don't think the scene would be lost one day.
Some of the visitors to Shaoxing city, will buy a terai for keepsake.
