In the Ming Dynasty, besides the dragon ball pattern, there were python clothes (four-claw dragons), flying fish (dragons with wings and fishtails), bullfighting (dragons with two horns on their heads) and unicorn patterns.

Official clothes make up the truth
Portrait painting of officials in Ming Dynasty retains the artistic form of contemporary officials' clothing. There are almost no official uniforms that have been handed down since the Ming Dynasty, and a few pieces dug out of the tomb are also damaged, decayed and discolored. The costumes, shoes and hats in the official portrait painting are brightly colored, complete in accessories and lifelike in characters' expressions. It can be said that it is an official fashion show that records the history of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, and also provides a good reference for academic research, costume drama and modern fashion design.
The portraits and clothes painted by officials in the Ming Dynasty confirmed the historical facts recorded in the literature, supplemented the abstraction and deficiency of written narration, and several characteristics can be found from many examples of portraits and clothes painted by officials.
