The Yuan Dynasty was ruled by Mongols. Why are their clothes also called Hanfu?

The Yuan Dynasty was an era of ethnic integration in China's history, and costumes also fully reflected this feature. Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, established the khanate in 1206. After the destruction of Xixia and Jin, the ethnic composition was mainly Mongolian. In the Yuan Dynasty, the textile industry and handicraft industry were greatly damaged due to the sharp ethnic contradictions. It was not until the period of 132 1 that the Song style was used for a long time, and with reference to the ancient system, the system of "quality clothes" was formulated, in which the coat of Hehe was connected with the coat, the coat was short and the waist was decorated with big beads, which was called "monochrome clothes" or "quality clothes" by the Han people. This is a clothing system that inherits the Han nationality and has Mongolian characteristics.

"Sun Zhi" is a transliteration of Mongolian, which means "monochromatic clothes". At the grand banquet of the Yuan Dynasty, all the officials of Tiandi had to wear a uniform color, that is, "Sun Zhi clothes". "Drying clothes" is the shape of robes and mandarin jackets, similar to the deep clothes of the Han nationality. The Yuan Dynasty was dominated by robes. The daily clothes of officials and scholars are mostly narrow-sleeved robes.

"History of the Yuan Dynasty, Annals of the Imperial Government" says: "If you are a grandson, Chinese words will convince you, and the imperial palace banquet will convince you. Winter clothes are different from summer clothes, but they are not customized. All the ministers who respect Qi are close to serve, and if you give them, you will be given them. As for the musicians, they are all waiters. Fine and coarse system, the difference between upper and lower, though different, is always called "the quality of Sun Yun". According to records, Tiandi's clothes have various styles, including eleven kinds of winter clothes and fifteen kinds of summer clothes. They are short robes, tight and narrow, with many pleats at the waist. This kind of clothes is very convenient to get on and off the horse.

Noble women in the Yuan Dynasty often wore a tall, long and eccentric hat, which was called the "crown". The robes they wear are wide and long, which makes it inconvenient to walk. They often need two maids to pull their robes behind them. Ordinary civilian women wear black robes.
