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 blue cross-collar daopao (a type of Ming Dynasty men's hanfu) is crafted from a structured and shapely brocade fabric. The fabric is scattered with ombre-like golden textures, like star fragments falling into the deep sea, lively and luxurious. The neckline is edged with a splicing of gold and dark fabric, adding a touch of mysterious nobility to the neat lines. The fabric has a just-right thickness, being skin-friendly without losing its structural feel, and is very suitable for wearing in spring and autumn.
This blue cross-collar daopao uses textured dark blue as the base and is matched with resplendent gold patterns. The large-area gold hot-stamping technique on the fabric seems to crush and spread a star river onto the garment, making it not only retain the calm elegance of the dark tone, but also burst with a luxurious aura due to the sparkle of the gold patterns. The neckline is carefully edged with gold fabric, which matches the gold hot-stamping on the garment perfectly. When paired with a leather belt with retro patterns, it further highlights the wearer's upright and outstanding bearing, as if one could catch a glimpse of the graceful demeanor of literati in the Ming Dynasty while walking.
- Inner garment: Plain cross-collar neiyi (for layering, as in Sancai Tuhui illustrations).
- Waist belt: Wide silk belt with a jade/copper buckle (holds daidai pouches, depicted in Ming tomb murals).
- Footwear: Mianxie (thick-soled cloth shoes, daily); official leather boots (formal, per Ming Dynasty Official Attire Regulations).
- Headwear: Zhuyi (scholarly), Sixi Mao (daily), Mianguan (ceremonial).
- Accessories: Jade pendant or xiangnang (fragrant pouch).
This ensemble embodies Ming-era aesthetics with historical accuracy.
The set includes: 1 daopao (Taoist - style robe), 1 middle - layer garment, 1 pair of middle - layer trousers, and 1 belt.
