Chinese influence on Korean culture can be traced back as early as the Goguryeo period; these influences can be demonstrated in the Goguryeo tomb mural paintings. Chinese culture influences can be traced back to the Samhan and Three Kingdoms period. 14 Throughout its history, Korea has been greatly influenced by Chinese culture, borrowing the written language, arts, religions, philosophy and models of government administration from China, and, in the process, transforming these borrowed traditions into distinctly Korean forms. Areas controlled by the Chinese, such as the Lelang Commandery, was a channel for the introduction and spreading of advanced technology and new culture which also influenced the political and the economical development of the Korean peninsula greatly. The Goguryeo tomb murals were primarily painted in two geographical regions: Ji’an (集安) and Pyeongyang. 18 For example, tomb painting concepts which were found in the Goguryeo and the brick paintings found in the late Baekje tombs already showed Chinese influences. 15 While the mural paintings found in regions Ji’an typically shows the characteristics of Goguryeo people in terms of their customs and morals; those from the regions of Pyeongyang typically show the cultural influences of the Han dynasty as the Han dynasty had governed this geographical region for approximately 400 years, including Chinese-style clothing. 15 Goguryeo accepted Sutras and Buddhist pictures from China early on, such as in 372 AD during the Former Qin dynasty period, when they were brought by a Chinese envoy named Fu Jian. 15The former is the second capital of Goguryeo while the latter is the third capital of Goguryeo from the mid-fourth to the mid-seventh centuries. 34 In 450 AD, during the reign of Yuanjia in the Liu Song dynasty, the King of Baekje requested for the Book of Yi Lin and the Shizhan (式占), as well as waist crossbows, which were all granted by the Emperor. 126 It also had frequent cultural exchanges with the Southern dynasties and with the Liang dynasty and would request copies of the Chinese classics, as well as request the dispatch of artisans, painters, and people who were experts in poetry. 227-228 A ruler of Baekje had also requested Emperor Wu of Liang for Buddhist sutras, medical practitioners and painters in 541 AD. 126 The ruling class of Baekje and enjoyed reading the Chinese classics and histories and were proficient in reading Chinese. 227 From 534 to 541 AD, it was a frequent occurrence for Emperor Wu of Liang to send Chinese classics to the King of Baekje; he would also send scholars of poetry and rites to Baekje in order to teach the Shijing and the Liji, and he would also frequently send experts and professionals in diverse fields, such as medicine, engineering, etc., in order to distribute these imported skills and knowledge to Baekje. 35 They also appointed official educators who were well-verse in the Chinese Five Classics, medicine, and astronomy. The Silla Kingdom was sinicized more slowly compared to both Baekje and Goguryeo. Cizang also contributed to the change of Silla’s imperial or official dress for the customs of the Tang, which also marked the beginning of Chinese clothing rituals in Silla. 126 However, it studied Chinese Buddhism which was already introduced in the Three Kingdom periods deeply. The danryeong was thus introduced from the Tang dynasty by Kim Chunchu in the second year of Queen Jingdeok’s rule. During the reign of Queen Jindeok, Kim Chunchu adopted the Tang dynasty dress and encouraged the Silla kingdom to adopt Chinese administrative practices. By the mid-7th century, the ruling class of the Silla Kingdom attached great importance to Chinese culture having inherited this tradition from the previous dynasties. 230 The Silla court also sent envoys to the Tang dynasty to request poetry and essays in 686 AD. 230 In the late 7th century during the Unified Silla period, most of the Buddhist sects of the Sui and Tang dynasties had been imported to Korea. In 837 AD alone, there were 217 students from Silla studying in the schools of the Tang dynasty. 230 By having Silla people studying in the Tang dynasty, they intended to import the Tang dynasty systems related to education, rites, and policy. The elites of the late Silla became deeply sinicized; the courtiers of Silla wore Chinese dress; the aristocrats wrote in Chinese and also followed Chinese fashions in food and drink culture, as well as music; they also imported all kind of luxurious items which were necessary for their dressing as they were high-born in status. 230 And thus, these students imported many Chinese books upon their return to Silla and implemented Chinese ideology, legislation and education system in Silla. 67Towards the end of later Silla period, it was Chan Buddhism which became popular and played a key role in developing the regional culture; this period also marked the deepening of the understanding of Confucianism. It is unknown how far cultural influences from the Chinese had impacted the society, but it is likely that the interest in Chinese culture was largely exclusive to the elites of Silla. Goryeo started to imitate imperial examination system of China in the early Song dynasty. The Korean dancheong was imported from China, known as caihua, along with Buddhism before being developed and modified to have its own distinctive Korean characteristics. The first Korean dancheong was found on a mural in an ancient tomb built in 357 AD during Goguryeo. Dancheong can be traced back to the late Warring State period (c. It is not clear when in history the Korean dancheong first started. Other Chinese concepts to influence Korean architecture include yin and yang, the five elements, Chinese geomancy, Taoism and Confucianism. Chinese cultural influence around the turn of the common era formed the basis for the early Korean architecture in the Three Kingdoms period. This influence is attributed to Lelang Commandery, a Chinese colony in what is now northwestern Korea, which was founded in 109 BCE. Baekje in particular adopted heavy Sinitic influence. Although dancheong can be traced back to China, it has become a distinctive characteristic of the Korean tradition and has a long tradition in Korea. The broad avenues planned in grid pattern found in the capital of Kyongju was built in an imitation of the capital city of Changan of the Tang dynasty. Later, during the Koryŏ period, further artistic and architectural influences from Song and Liao were absorbed in the peninsula. 37 while the tap’o (a more elaborate system of bracketing) were introduced in Korea from the Tang and Song dynasty respectively. The wooden building style of this period also seems to have been influenced by that of Fujian in southern China. Free-standing kitchens and kitchen culture of Korea were introduced from China and appear as early as the Goguryeo period. 132 soybeans were introduced during the Qin dynasty from Northern China, soy sauce. Chinese culture has influenced the tea culture in Korea in terms of materials, spiritual and aesthetic forms. In the end of the 8th century, Buddhist monks who had gone to study in the Tang dynasty returned to Silla kingdom with Chan Buddhism, as well as tea culture, as tea played a significant role in the practice of meditation. Chinese influences can also be found in the clothing style, accessories, and headgear worn in Korea through the import of clothing or through the adoption of certain Chinese culture elements. 136 Green tea was the first type of tea which was introduced in Korea during the reign of Queen Seondok of Silla. These influences can be traced back to Goguryeo, which was founded in 37 BC, and can be observed in the tomb murals of Goguryeo. 15 Hanfu-style clothing can also be found in the Goguryeo Gamsinchong tomb dating in the early 5th century, which includes the two maids who dressed in attire which looks similar to the style worn in the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern dynasties, Sui, and Tang dynasties. 15 The Goguryeo tomb murals from the regions of Pyeongyang typically show the cultural influences of the Han dynasty, including painting figures who are dressed in Hanfu-style, as the Han dynasty had governed this geographical region for approximately 400 years. The ancient durumagi originated from long coat worn by the northern Chinese to fend off cold weather. Diyi Jeokdui (diyi) was bestowed to the Joseon queen along with jeokgwan (diguan 翟冠), baeja, hapi (xiapei), pyeseul. Jiaoling youren pao Chinese-style po (paofu) was introduced in Korea since the Han dynasty. Yuanlingpao The danryeong was imported from the Tang dynasty by Kim Chunchu in the second year of Queen Jingdeok’s rule and was worn an official outfit for the government until the end of the Joseon dynasty. The buddhist paintings of Goryeo were heavily influenced by the drawing techniques of the Song dynasty. Unlined jeonbok Unlined jeonbok was influenced by a Chinese coat. In the buddhist paintings of Goryeo, the secular and mythical figures were depicted in the form of worshippers or patrons who were in an audience for the sermons of Buddha, who were witnessed of the heavenly realm or who were ritual participants. 192 The Goryeo painting Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara, for example, show the Chinese and Central Asian pictorial influences; however, the textual and pictorial sources used as prototypes for the iconography are primarily Chinese. The clothing worn in the Yuan dynasty however rarely appears in the Buddhist paintings of Goryeo. 192 These figures were possibly the donors of the paintings and were mostly part of the royalty and aristocratic class who are depicted wearing Chinese clothing; their clothing and headgear typically follow the official dress code of the Song dynasty. Details of the Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara painting shows a group of nobles (possibly the donors) dress in court clothing, Goryeo. In Goryeo, landscape paintings started to develop through the cultural influence continuum of the Song dynasty, Yuan dynasty, and early Ming dynasty. Early Goryeo landscape painting were strongly influenced by the Northern Song (960 – 1127 AD) Chinese landscape painting. By the first half of the 12th century, Goryeo painters also started to paint landscape paintings scenes which depict actual places in Korea. In the later 11th century and in the early 12th century, many Northern Song landscape paintings were introduced in Goryeo. However, it is unlikely that those Goryeo landscape paintings had any direct relationship on the development of true-view landscape painting which was developed in Joseon as the true-view landscape painting of Joseon was stylistically based on the Southern School of Chinese painting. The first true-view landscape painting was created by Chinese painters and appeared in the world art history during the Song dynasty in the 10th century showing the pastoral scenes in Southern China. True-view landscape painting depicting South China scenery then spread to Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. In Korea, true-view landscape paintings was first introduced by diplomatic envoys during the Goryeo in the 13th century and the imported original Chinese paintings were then copied. Some early Goryeo potters were themselves Chinese. Korea’s pottery culture has been influence by China as early as 2000 B.C. Goryeo between the 9th and 10 centuries. The Goryeo celadon was influenced by the ceramic-making skills in Zhejiang Province, China. Chinese potters who left their homeland due to political upheaval brought new ceramic technologies and styles to the local Goryeo potters who then managed to make their own Goryeo-style celadon. The celadon glaze technology and the kiln structure (i.e. various Chinese kilns were prototypes for Goryeo potters) technology was also adapted from China. The celadons manufactured in Zhejiang province were known for their best quality since the Tang dynasty. The Goryeo potters also learnt their technical expertise from the Song dynasty celadon traditions and imitated certain styles from Chinese wares which included the shapes of bottles, bowls and standard decorative motives (e.g. lotus, peonies, flying parrots, and scenes of waterfowl by the pond). Yue ware and kilns located in present-day Zhejiang province: decoration motifs on Goryeo celadons were inspired by the decorations found on Yue ware. Long-neck bottles (which were later elongated by Goryeo potters and given more bulging body) have originated from Chinese Yue kiln. Maebyeong (prunus vase; meiping in Chinese): The Goryeo maebyeong shows the integration of Chinese elements by Goryeo potters; the shape of the prunus vase was influenced by the Chinese wares produced by the Ru, Ding, Jingdezhen, Yaozhou, and Cizhou kilns which existed during the Northern Song dynasty. Qingbai ware from the Northern Song period from the late 1000s: New shapes of bowls, dishes, cups, vases, bottles were produced under the diplomatic relations between Goryeo and the Northern Song dynasty; the shapes and decorations were then adjusted to reflect the aesthetics taste of Goryeo but some Goryeo celadon shows the influence of the qingbai ware (bluish-white porcelain) which is produced by the Chinese Jingdezhen kilns. While a vast majority of Korean musical instruments clearly have some Sinitic ancestry, most of these imported instruments have never been widely used in Korean music, and many are now obsolete. The qin (Korean kŭm), for instance, is almost never played outside of the semi-annual Sacrifice to Confucius (Korean sŏkchŏn). The comparatively popular kayagŭm and kŏmun’go, although they are reputed to have originated in China, have been independent for centuries, and have been modified significantly from the Chinese originals. Jingdezhen ware: Having become part of the Yuan dynasty, the goryeo celadon vases adopted the style of the blue-white porcelains which were produced by the Chinese Jingdezhen kilns. The traditional genre of tangak (literally “music of Tang”) was imported from China, probably mostly during the Goryeo period. The aak genre, by contrast, was developed in Korea in the fifteenth century based on Chinese written sources from an earlier period, as the style had already fallen out of fashion in China. Chinese music was introduced in Korea and was performed at the Korean court during the Tang and Song dynasties. This section needs expansion. Despite Korean claims to aak retaining its “pure” Chinese form it bears marks of alteration after being imported to Korea. You can help by adding to it. Extant Korean poetry in Chinese goes back to the Koguryŏ period. The Wen Xuan was extremely influential in China during the Tang dynasty, and the Korean literati of the period followed suit. Tang poetic principles also appear to have influenced poetic composition the peninsula during the Koryŏ period. Later, under Unified Silla and Koryŏ, poetic and prose compositions continued to closely follow forms originating in China and characteristic of the Six Dynasties period. Several important poets of the ninth and tenth centuries, including Ch’oe Ch’i-wŏn (born 857) and Ch’oe Sŭng-no (927-989) studied in China. This section needs expansion. All scriptural and commentarial writings composed by pre-modern Korean Buddhists were written in literary Chinese (Korean hanmun). Sima Qian in compiling his Samguk Sagi. You can help by adding to it. In the Anak tomb murals of Goguryeo, for example, the crows which were depicted on the roof ridges show the influence of Chinese culture. 14 This tradition was later adopted by the people of Baekje. To ignore the greater northeast Asian context in discussing Korean Buddhism is to distort Korean Buddhism. 14 The crow was a symbolism of the Sun God in ancient China and was an emblem of the dynastic rulers. Buddhism was introduced to Korea in the fourth century, during the Three Kingdoms period. All schools of Korean Buddhism have their roots in earlier Chinese innovations, in both doctrine and soteriology. China’s size and its geographical position on the Silk Road (which gave it stronger ties to the older Buddhist traditions of India and Central Asia) allowed it to pioneer the majority of trends in East Asian Buddhism. The monk Wŏnch’ŭk studied in China under Xuanzang and developed his interpretation of Yogācāra Buddhism derived from Xuanzang’s New Yogācāra. Sŏn Buddhism, a Korean form of Chan Buddhism, began with the seventh century Silla monk Pŏmnang, who studied in China with the Fourth Patriarch of Chan Buddhism, Daoxin. Nine Mountains school of Sŏn traced their lineage to Mazu Daoyi of the Hongzu sect. The eleventh-century Korean Tripiṭaka that would later become a reference point for the twentieth-century Japanese Taishō Tripiṭaka were based on the Chinese Buddhist Tripiṭaka completed in the tenth century. This section needs expansion. Though Ŭich’ŏn only established Ch’ŏnt’ae as a separate school of Korean Buddhism in the eleventh century, Korean Buddhists had been studying Chinese Tiantai as early as the seventh century. Pre-modern Korea’s dynastic governmental systems were significantly indebted to China. You can help by adding to it. This examination system continued into the Chosŏn period, but unlike in China the examination was only open to members of the aristocratic upper class. The national flag of South Korea is derived from the Chinese philosophy yin-yang and the Chinese divination text I Ching. Starting in the Three Kingdoms period, Korean government officials were trained with a Chinese-style Confucian examination system. Korean surnames use Chinese characters. The annual Korean Seollal festival is a cultural holiday that has customs and teachings that originated in China. Typically, Korean names use one character for the family name and two for the given name, in close resemblance to Chinese names. Such a fixed order of animals comes from an old Chinese folklore about the sequence of animals that were invited to bid farewell to the dying Buddha. Buswell (2010 : 44-46) emphasizes the mutual interchange of influence between Chinese Buddhism and the traditions of other “peripheral” regions such as Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Tibet. It is closely associated with the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac that follows in the order of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and then pig.

It was most popular during the Song dynasty, Ming dynasty, and from the early Qing to the Mid-Qing dynasty. In the Ming dynasty, the beizi was referred as pifeng (Chinese: 披風; pinyin: pī fēng). The beizi originated in the Song dynasty. According to Zhu Xi, the beizi may have originally been clothing worn by concubines and maidservants, and it was then named after these people as they would always walk behind their mistress. When worn by men, it is sometimes referred as changyi (Chinese: 氅衣), hechang (Chinese: 鹤氅; pinyin: hèchǎng; lit. According to Ye Mende, the beizi was initially worn as a military clothing with “half-sleeves”; the sleeves were later extended and hanging ribbons were added from the armpits and back. In the Song dynasty, the beizi was worn by all social strata regardless of gender; however, it was a more prevalent in people of the higher social status. In earlier times, the beizi did not exist according to both Zhu Xi and Lu You, and it only became popular by the Late Northern Song dynasty. The beizi had a straight silhouette, and the Song dynasty people liked its elegance which reflect the cultural and psychological development of the Song dynasty people who liked simplicity. Emperor Zhezong and Emperor Huizong both wore yellow beizi while the Grand Councillors of the Northern Song period would wear purple beizi with a round collar; this form of fashion remained until the Xuanhe period. Zhu Xi also created some rules for dressing, which included the wearing of beizi by unmarried women and concubines. The male Song dynasty beizi was worn as informal clothing at home because it could be left unfastened in the front, because of the relaxed waistline and as the beizi could come in variety of length and width.

In the Ming dynasty, when the pifeng came to be lengthened to the point that woman’s upper garment covered the lower skirts; it was perceived as a confusion between man and woman as it was men who traditionally had their upper garments covering their lower garments to symbolize “heaven embraces earth”. The pifeng was a prominent clothing for women in the late ming dynasty as a daily dress in the 16th and 17th century. In the Ming dynasty, the women’s pifeng became so long by the 16th century that it caused some anxieties to government officials as the women’s pifeng started to look closer to the men’s clothing; i.e. traditionally, woman’s upper garment had to be levelled at her waist with a lower garment which meets the upper garment in order to represent “earth supports heaven”.

Beizi, hanfu clothes from the 18th century novel Dream of the Red Chamber. The beizi has a straight silhouette with vents and seams at the sides. The beizi could also be found with side slits which could start at beginning at the armpit down its length or without any side slits at all. The beizi also came in variety of length, i.e. above knees, below knees, and ankle length, and the sleeves could vary in size (i.e. either narrow or broad). In the song dynasty, the beizi was not fastened so that the inner clothing could be exposed. According to Cheng Dachang, the use of ribbons under the armpits was assumed to have been a way to imitate the crossing ribbons of earlier ancient Chinese clothing in order to maintain the clothing of the ancient times. 2. A “half-beizi”, a beizi with short sleeves; it was originally worn as a military uniform but it was then worn by the literati and the commoners despite being against the Song dynasty’s dressing etiquette. 1. There is a style of beizi wherein ribbons could be hung from both the armpits and the back, with a silk belt which fastened the front and back of the beizi together, or the front and back parts of the beizi could also be left unbound.

A “sleeveless beizi”, which looks like a modern sleeveless vest, was used as a casual clothing and could be found in the market. The earlier Song dynasty beizi had a band which finished the edges down to the bottom hem, but with time, it developed further and a contrasting neckband which encircled the neck down to the mid-chest; a closing was also found at the mid-chest. By the late Ming dynasty, the beizi (also known as pifeng) had become longer and almost covered the skirts completely which came to look almost like the men’s clothing and the sleeves grew larger trailing well below the finger tips. The neckband, however, was shortened to reach mid-chest and the robe was made wider. In the Ming dynasty, beizi can be secured at the front either with a metal or jade clasp button called zimu kou (Chinese: 子母扣). The gender difference is that while wide-sleeved beizi were considered formal wear for women (narrow-sleeved beizi were casual wear for women), both wide and narrow-sleeved beizi were only used as casual wear for men. In the Song dynasty, the sleeves of the beizi was fuller, but it became more tubular in shape in the Ming dynasty. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang is said to be wearing hechang. In Chinese opera, costumes such as nüpi (Chinese: 女帔; a form of women’s formal attire) and pi (Chinese: 帔; a form of men’s formal attire) were derived from the beizi worn during the Ming dynasty (i.e. pifeng). Both pi and nüpi had tubular sleeves which were longer than then wrist length. Zhu Geliang wearing a hechang (also known as beizi). The nüpi had straight sides and vents and was knee length; the length of the nüpi was historically accurate. The pi had a flared side seams with vents and was ankle-length.

Water sleeves were also added to the sleeves for both pi and nüpi; the water sleeves worn with the nüpi are longer than those worn with the pi. Qing dynasty period pi costume (front view).

The hechang (known as hakchang in Korea) was introduced during the 17th and 18th century in Joseon by people who had exchanges with Chinese or liked Chinese classic styles and gradually became popular among the Joseon people; Joseon scholars started to borrow the looks of Zhuge Liang due to the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; and thus, the hakchangui was increasingly worn by more and more Joseon scholars. The Ao Nhat Binh (chữ Nôm: 襖日平, Vietnamese: Áo Nhật Bình, lit. Nguyen dynasty during informal occasions, originated from the Ming dynasty pifeng (Vietnamese: Áo Phi Phong) which was popular in China.

On the streets of Shanghai, content creator Shiyin can be seen wearing a traditional outfit from China’s Ming period. Popular on social media, she routinely shares fashion buys, beauty tips and lifestyle vlogs alongside all the latest from Gucci and Lancôme-but it’s her passion for Hanfu that really sets her apart. However, Hanfu-which is defined as a type of dress from any era when the Han Chinese ruled-is seen in China as a more authentic form of historical clothing. “Chinese” clothing is often typified by the qipao (a close-fitting dress also called the cheongsam). Right now, the movement is being led by China’s fashion-conscious youth-a little like how Regency-period hair and makeup has had a boost in popularity, thanks to Netflix’s Bridgerton-and the number of Hanfu enthusiasts almost doubled from 3.56 million in 2019 to more than six million in 2020. Among those you’ll find a purist minority who abhor any historical inaccuracies, and a majority who are attracted to its fantastical elements. Styles from the Tang, Song, and Ming periods are the most popular; flowing robes in beautiful shades, embellished with intricate designs and embroidery. Meanwhile, designs can cost between 100 yuan (roughly $15.50 ) to over 10,000 yuan ($1550), and bought from specialist brands such as Ming Hua Tang. What is most interesting though, is the collective mood that’s being spurred on by Hanfu-after decades of aspiring to western trends, the younger generation is now possibly looking closer to home for a sense of traditionalism. So, as interest in traditional cultural pursuits comes back around, is the past becoming cool once more? Here, Vogue meets Shiyin, one of the most popular figures in this rapidly growing subculture, to find out. Hanfu videos have been viewed more than 47.7bn times.

How did your interest in Hanfu start? “Growing up in Canada, I watched Chinese period dramas but I had no idea that Hanfu was a thing or where to buy it. Why do you think people are attracted to it? “I can’t speak for everyone, but I imagine most get drawn in because it’s pretty. However, I continue to wear Hanfu because it gives me confidence in my own culture. It’s only normal, you buy clothes to look good. In Canada, we had days at school where you could wear national dress, yet as a Chinese person, I had no idea what to wear. “The pattern is called jiu yang qi tai, it features nine sheep and symbolizes luck and prosperity. Here, a jiaoling robe, referring to the wraparound collar design, in golden weave.

How did Hanfu become one of your key content pillars? “When I moved back to Shanghai, I worked in gaming. How historically accurate are most Hanfu designs? Do you think a lot of people are inspired to wear Hanfu after watching popular period dramas? “It’s impossible to quantify, but it definitely has an impact. How would you explain the difference between Hanfu, cosplay or role-playing games (RPG)? “They’re all subcultures so people often think they’re the same but they’re actually very different. With openings at the front and back, it was originally designed to make horse-riding easier, but this isn’t the reason why it’s called “ma mian” – the actual origins remain unclear. In all three looks, Shiyin wears a ma mian qun, literally “horse face skirt”, a pleated skirt typical of Hanfu. On your channel, you also talk about western fashion brands. Do you see this content as being totally separate from Hanfu? “Not really. I have a series called ‘What is luxury? ’, which I started by discussing brands such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton, but now I’m discussing traditional Chinese culture. Do you get a lot of attention wearing historical clothes on the streets? “Not in Shanghai, people wear all sorts, nobody really notices… How does wearing historical dress match with contemporary makeup looks? “I often do traditional hairstyles when shooting, but usually I keep the makeup modern. Once I did Tang-period makeup with very heavy rouge and a partially drawn lip, and most of the comments online were pretty negative. The last video was on coins, and I’m planning one on fabrics like cloud brocade (yunjin), shu brocade (shujin), and Su embroidery (suxiu).

The wedding dress worn in Ming dynasty continued to influence the wedding dress of the later centuries. What is known as qungua only started to be worn in the 18th century during the Qing dynasty. This led to the use qungua in the Guangdong area. In 18th century, Chinese mothers would start to sew the qungua as soon as a daughter was born in the family. The qungua originated in Guangdong when Liang Zhu, a Guangdong Qing dynasty politician, was rewarded with a silk wedding dress embroidered with dragons and phoenixes by the Qing Emperor at the time of his daughter’s wedding. The qungua would then be placed as a part of the daughter’s bride dowry when she gets married.

It can also be decorated with other auspicious symbols, such as pomegranate (symbolism for fertility), peony flowers, lotus flowers, bats, goldfish, butterfly and birds. Like the qungua, the Betawi bridal dress is a two-piece set of attire which composed of an ankle-length with wider bottom skirt called kun and an upper garment called tuaki. One difference from the qungua is the use of Betawi Lotus, also known as Betawi pomegranate, a separate ornamental garment which covers the chest and shoulder areas (similar to the yunjian of the Chinese people). The tuaki is decorated with Chinese auspicious symbols.

The Xiuhefu typically has an overlapping jacket which closes to the right side (instead of the qungua central closing jacket) which is worn with an A-line skirt (qun) which looks similar to a mamianqun instead of a straight cut skirt. The Xiuhefu is typically embroidered with flowers and birds to symbolize love for whole seasons. The qungua is different from the cheongsam which can also be worn as a Traditional Chinese wedding dress. Prior to the 1930s and the 1940s, the cheongsam was also a two-piece set of garment which was composed of a long robe and was worn with a pair of trousers.

The Ming Dynasty, established in 1368, marked a significant turning point in Chinese history. It emerged after the overthrow of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty by Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant who later became Emperor Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang’s rise to power came amidst a backdrop of social unrest and economic hardships caused by years of Mongol rule. With a vision to restore traditional Chinese values and reclaim the “Middle Kingdom,” he established the Ming Dynasty with its capital at Nanjing. Under the Ming Dynasty, China experienced a period of stability, economic growth, and cultural renaissance. They strengthened central authority, reestablished the civil service examination system, and promoted Confucianism as the dominant ideology.

Hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group in China, underwent significant transformations during the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty Hanfu was characterized by its elegance, refinement, and adherence to traditional Chinese aesthetics. One of the notable features of Ming Dynasty Hanfu was its distinct layering and voluminous silhouette. The clothing styles during this period were influenced by the revival of ancient Chinese culture and the desire to reclaim traditional customs and values. The garments were made from luxurious fabrics such as silk, adorned with intricate embroidery, and embellished with auspicious symbols and patterns. Men typically wore a robe that featured wide sleeves and a loose fit, often accompanied by a long gown or a cross-collar robe known as ruqun.

For women, the Ming Dynasty hairstyles were more elaborate and intricate. Women often wore their hair in various styles such as braids, buns, or elaborate updos. The style and positioning of the topknot could vary depending on one’s social status and occupation. They adorned their hairstyles with hairpins, combs, and other hair ornaments made of precious materials like gold, silver, jade, or pearls. These hair ornaments were often intricately crafted and embellished with colorful gemstones or intricate designs. They used rice powder or white lead-based cosmetics to achieve a fair and porcelain-like skin tone. In terms of makeup, women during the Ming Dynasty favored a pale complexion. They also applied rouge or blush to their cheeks and tinted their lips with natural dyes. Darkened eyebrows were considered fashionable, and women used various techniques such as applying soot or using ink to darken and shape their eyebrows. It’s important to note that while these were general trends, specific hairstyles, hair ornaments, and makeup practices could vary depending on factors such as social status, age, and regional customs within the Ming Dynasty. “The scholar-officials, also known as literati, scholar-gentlemen or scholar-bureaucrats (Chinese: 士大夫; pinyin: shì dàfū), were government officials and prestigious scholars in Chinese society, forming a distinct social class. “Scholar-officials were politicians and government officials appointed by the emperor of China to perform day-to-day political duties from the Han dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912, China’s last imperial dynasty. Scholar-officials were the elite class of imperial China. After the Sui dynasty these officials mostly came from the scholar-gentry (紳士 shēnshì) who had earned academic degrees (such as xiucai, juren, or jinshi) by passing the imperial examinations. The imperial examination system, known as “keju” in Chinese, was a civil-service examination system implemented during Imperial China with the purpose of selecting individuals for government positions. They were highly educated, especially in literature and the arts, including calligraphy and Confucian texts. One notable change introduced by the Ming Dynasty was the implementation of a geographical quota system. This system aimed to prevent wealthier regions from dominating all the positions in the civil service. It ensured that candidates from different regions had an opportunity to participate and contribute to the bureaucracy. Under the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE), the civil service exams were fully revived and introduced certain refinements to the system used in previous dynasties. Additionally, the Ming Dynasty expanded the number of schools, making education more accessible to children from families who could not afford private tutoring. Initially, there were no restrictions on the number of candidates, but as the number grew significantly, a limit of 300 candidates per sitting was imposed in 1475 CE. The exams were conducted every three years, starting with the provincial exams in the autumn, followed by the level two exams in major cities during the spring, and finally, the level three exams held in the imperial palace. The exams consisted of various sections, with particular emphasis placed on the “jinshi” section, which carried great weight in determining a candidate’s future career prospects. Those who excelled in this section had the opportunity to secure prestigious positions in the Hanlin Academy, where important state documents were compiled and reviewed. Passing the exams required a comprehensive understanding of Confucian texts, particularly the “Four Books,” which included the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Great Learning, and Doctrine of the Mean. The exams themselves became increasingly demanding, with multiple parts that tested not only academic knowledge but also political views. Mastery of these texts became essential for success in the exams, and their study was favored during the Ming Dynasty. It is important to note that successful candidates who passed the lowest level exam but did not pass the second level had to periodically take additional tests to maintain their status and continue their careers within the civil service. The passing rates remained relatively low, with only 2-4% of candidates passing the second level exams and 7-9% passing the third level exams during the Ming Dynasty. A badge featuring a bird identified the wearer as a civil official. Article: Cartwright, Mark. “The Civil Service Examinations of Imperial China.” World History Encyclopedia. To attain such a position required years of intense study, so birds may have been selected because of their literary associations. Each rank was represented by a different species, and while there were slight variations over time, by the Qing Dynasty the order from highest to lowest was: crane, golden pheasant, peacock, wild goose, silver pheasant, egret, mandarin duck, quail and paradise flycatcher. During the Ming Dynasty in China (1368-1644 CE), civil badges were worn by government officials as a way to show their rank and position. These badges were fabric patches with embroidered designs that varied based on the official’s authority. They were typically worn on the front and back of the official’s robe, with larger badges indicating higher ranks. The civil badges served both a decorative and practical purpose. They showcased the craftsmanship of Ming artisans, featuring symbols like dragons and phoenixes to represent power and good fortune. Additionally, the badges helped identify officials and maintain order within the government structure. Wearing a civil badge without the appropriate rank was a serious offense and could lead to punishment. The Ming Dynasty placed great importance on the system of civil badges, which symbolized the hierarchical structure of the government and the significance of visual representation in the imperial bureaucracy.

During the Ming Dynasty in China, military badges played a significant role in distinguishing rank and promoting military discipline. Military badges in the Ming Dynasty were typically made of fabric or embroidered silk and featured various designs and motifs that represented the wearer’s rank, position, and achievements. These badges, known as “Buzi,” were worn by soldiers and military officials as a symbol of their status and authority within the military hierarchy. The badges were often attached to the front or back of the uniform or worn on the chest or shoulders. Generals and high-ranking officers would often have more elaborate and intricate badges, adorned with symbols of power and authority, such as dragons, mythical creatures, or auspicious motifs. The designs of the badges varied depending on the military branch and rank. Lower-ranking soldiers and officers would have simpler designs, usually featuring symbols associated with their specific unit or division. They helped soldiers identify their comrades in the midst of combat, enabling effective coordination and communication. In addition to indicating rank, military badges also served practical purposes on the battlefield. The use of military badges in the Ming Dynasty exemplified the strict hierarchical structure and organization of the military forces. The badges also instilled a sense of pride, camaraderie, and loyalty among the troops, reinforcing their allegiance to their commanders and the Ming Dynasty. These badges not only provided visual recognition but also served as a visual representation of the military’s power and authority. Source: QING-DYNASTY RANK BADGES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
