What were the clothes of the Ming people like?

Clothing in Ming Dynasty refers to Hanfu in this period, that is, Hanfu made in Ming Dynasty. According to the tradition of Han nationality, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, "inherited the Zhou and Han Dynasties and the Tang and Song Dynasties", re-established the clothing system.

In the middle and late period, there appeared styles that the previous generation didn't have, such as stand-up collar, and a large number of buttons were used in the conspicuous part of a dress. It was gradually banned during the Qing dynasty, but there are still a few styles and characteristics that have been passed down to this day. The national costumes (Hanbok, Ryukyu and Yuefu) of Korea, Ryukyu and Jing nationality from modern times were also deeply influenced by the costumes of the Ming Dynasty.

In men's wear in the Ming Dynasty, adults usually wore long and wide 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 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.
