How many pictures of Ming Dynasty costumes have you seen?

Shortly after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Khufu was banned, the dress code of the Tang Dynasty was restored, and the legal department and the formal department could go hand in hand again. The Ministry of Justice is basically the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, except that the golden fairy crown was changed to Guan Liang, and the crown style of loyalty, tranquility and harmony was added. Officials wear their work and round neck robes. In addition to the color regulations, the official uniforms are also decorated with patches on the chest and back, and different embroidery patterns indicate different levels of officials. Not only that, officials' belts also have different textures due to different grades.

Therefore, the clothing characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are mainly reflected in the strict restrictions on grades. Scholars often keep their hair straight or drag it straight and wear towels. Civilians wear short coats, small hats or net towels. There are many styles of women's hair bun in Ming Dynasty, and they often tie a bag on their forehead, which is called "covering their eyebrows". The dress is similar to Song and Yuan Dynasties, but the underwear is a small round neck with buttons around the neck. The dress is long, decorated with gold pendant and cloud shoulder armor (big vest).

Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, and Hanfu was generally restored in the Ming Dynasty. After absorbing the habits of the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty, Hanfu developed. In the men's wear of the Ming Dynasty, most adults wore long, wide and straight clothes with green cloth and square flat towels on their heads, while ordinary people wore short coats and headscarves.

At this time, a small hat with six petals and eight petals sewn together appeared, which looked like a watermelon cut in half. It was first worn by servants, but later it became popular because it was convenient to wear. This is the predecessor of the "melon hat" in the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the ladies in the Ming Dynasty wore robes with big red sleeves, while most women could only wear pink, purple and green and some light colors. Ping wears a shirt and a long skirt every day with a ribbon around her waist. Skirts are very wide, and there are many styles, such as pleated skirts, phoenix-tailed skirts and yuet skirts.

Another feature of Ming-style clothing is wearing ornaments on the front, which is very eye-catching. They are all kinds of decorations made of gold, pearls, jade and other materials. Among them, the one hanging on the chest is called "falling collar"; The one tied in front is called "seven things"; Those who walk noisily are called "no walking", and these accessories are collectively called "miscellaneous accessories".

Another special ornament is a gold chain with four small objects connected by rings: tweezers (an iron gadget with one end fixed and the other open, called "hair clippers"), toothpicks (for picking teeth), ear scoops (for digging ears) and knives, all of which are practical products for women's lives.
