Liturgical hat of Catholic Church in China
Jijin or Tsikin (祭巾) was a liturgical headwear permitted for clergy in China during Ming and early Qing periods as part of the early Jesuit missions' efforts to adapt Catholic liturgical practices to local customs. In 1613, Father Nicolò Longobardo, the Jesuit superior of the mission in China, sent Nicolas Trigault to Rome to ask for adaptations for the liturgy in China, including the ability to wear headgear during the liturgy, reflecting traditional Chinese cultural values that regarded an uncovered head as a sign of disgrace. Robert Bellarmine supported the idea. Pope Paul V issued the bull Romanae Sedis Antistes in 1615, creating the permission, and from that point onwards the Jijin replaced the Roman biretta and was worn during all liturgical functions. Théophile Raynaud recounted in 1655:
Here we should recall what I mentioned above, that among the Chinese it is a taboo, or at least extremely impolite, ever to leave one’s head uncovered, since this is the way criminals are taken to the gibbet. For this reason Chinese Christians only bare their heads when they confess their sins, to show that they are guilty and worthy of punishment. Since it would have been a scandal for a sacrificing priest to appear without a head covering, they pleaded with Paul V to permit them to respect local custom and not command them to disgrace the sacrifice by allowing the priest to be bareheaded. The pope gave his assent, as long as the head covering was suitable for the sacred and divine action, and differed from a profane hat.
Pope Clement X reaffirmed the permission in 1673. The jijin fell out of use during the early 20th century, during a period of Westernization in China. Its use was abolished at the First Chinese Council in Shanghai in 1924.
