Traditional costumes of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, and in the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese people's clothes were generally restored. After absorbing the habits of the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese people's clothes were developed.

In the men's wear of the Ming Dynasty, most adults wore long, wide clothes with straight blue cloth and square flat towels on their heads, while ordinary people wore short coats and headscarves. At this time, a kind of small hat with six petals and eight petals was appeared, which looked like a watermelon cut in half. It was originally worn by servants, but it became popular because it was convenient to wear. This is the predecessor of the "melon skin cap" in the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the ladies in Ming Dynasty wore robes with red sleeves, while most women could only wear pink, purple and green and some light colors. Ping wears a blouse and a long skirt every day, with a ribbon tied around her waist. The skirt is wide and has many styles, such as pleated skirt, phoenix tail skirt and yuet skirt.
