The System and Characteristics of Ming Dynasty Men's Hanfu
Backed by authoritative texts (
The Grand Ceremony of the Ming Dynasty,
Sancai Tuhui) and archaeological finds (e.g., Ming nobles’ tombs), Ming men's Hanfu (1368–1644) revived Han traditions while balancing ritual solemnity and daily practicality.
-
Zhishen (直身): Daily/semi-formal wear with a straight cut, side slits, and high cross/round collar (length: below knees to ankles). Elites used silk (ling, luo); commoners relied on cotton/linen (per Ming textile archives).
-
Tieli (贴里) Feiyufu: Practical attire for mobility (martial duties/labor) with a cross collar, narrow sleeves, and underarm gussets. Made of durable silk/cotton (Military Training Manual of the Ming Dynasty records its use in military wear).
-
Daopao (道袍): Ceremonial wear for literati with wide sleeves, a cross collar, and flowing silhouette. Features a pijia (yoke) and subtle embroidery; crafted from fine silk/linen (seen in Nanjing Yunjin Brocade Museum collections).
-
Han Culture Revival: Restored core Hanfu elements (cross collars, hierarchical dress codes) after the Yuan Dynasty (Ming Shi Lu documents Emperor Taizu’s edicts on reviving Han attire).
-
Formality & Practicality: Styles like Zhishen (daily) and Daopao (ceremonial) balanced different use cases.
-
Advanced Textiles: Sophisticated silk weaving (Yunjin) and widespread cotton (popularized via Huang Daopo’s innovations) enabled diverse, comfortable fabrics.
This men's cross-collar daopao (a type of Ming Dynasty hanfu) has two gradient options: blue-to-yellow and purple-to-yellow. It uses bark-pleated fabric with gradients. The translucent texture is elegant and lively, and it feels delicate and smooth to the touch; the neckline is carefully edged with golden fabric, which enhances the noble bearing; exquisite golden dragon patterns are embroidered on the garment, exuding a gorgeous charm. No matter which one you choose, after wearing the whole set, it not only has the gentle luxury of a wealthy young master, but also faintly reveals the chivalrous demeanor of a martial arts alliance leader. Every move is full of the unique charm blending elegance, nobility and chivalry.
This men's cross - collar daopao (a type of Ming Dynasty hanfu) has an exquisite golden dragon embroidery on the left shoulder. In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes authority, nobility and auspiciousness, implying warding off evil spirits, bringing good fortune and highlighting an extraordinary bearing. The garment is not only decorated with delicate golden patterns, but also sprinkled with gold - speckled details, which emit a magnificent and domineering luster under light and shadow. Together with the translucent blue - yellow gradient fabric and golden neckline decoration, the whole outfit not only has the elegance and nobility of a wealthy young master, but also faintly reveals the chivalry and majesty like a martial arts leader. Every move is full of the unique charm that blends ancient charm and heroism.
