Introduction to yuan dynasty costumes
In Yuan Dynasty (127 1- 1368), China was a unified empire established by Mongols, with its capital. Women's clothing in Yuan Dynasty was divided into aristocratic clothing and civilian clothing. Most of the nobles are Mongolians, wearing fur hats as national costumes, and the materials are mostly mink and sheepskin. Most of them are wide robes, with sleeves shaped like lanterns, narrow cuffs and wide and fat sleeves. This robe epaulette is very gorgeous. Fabric texture is very elegant, using brocade, velvet, felt fabric, the color is mostly red.

There was no complete crown service system in Yuan Dynasty. Mongolians still maintain their living customs after entering the Central Plains, but at the same time, influenced by the Han nationality, their costumes are becoming increasingly gorgeous.

The Yuan Dynasty was an era of ethnic integration in China's history, and costumes also fully reflected this feature. Genghis Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, founded the capital in 1206. After the destruction of Xixia and Jin, the ethnic composition was mainly Mongolian. In the Yuan Dynasty, the textile industry and handicraft industry were greatly damaged due to the sharp ethnic contradictions. The court dress system has long been extended to the Song Dynasty. It was not until Yuan Yingzong l32 1 that the ancient system was referred to and the system of "quality positive clothing" was formulated, which was called "monochrome clothing" or "quality positive clothing" by the Han people. This is a clothing system that inherits the Han nationality and has Mongolian characteristics.

Mongolian women in Yuan Dynasty wore a distinctive ancient crown. This crown is made of birch bark, bamboo, iron wire and other materials, and a column nearly 1 meter high extends from the top of the head. The top of the column is expanded into a flat-topped hat shape, and then decorated with Cui Hua and pearls. High-ranking people also put pheasant hair on their crowns to make them fly, which is very lively. Matching the ancient crown is a robe. Mongolian aristocratic women's robes are loose and fat, with large sleeves but narrow cuffs, and their clothes are long and mop the floor. When walking, they need two female slaves to help them move forward. This kind of robe is usually made of brocade, velvet or wool. Colourful colors such as carmine, cockscomb purple and clay gold are very popular, and Han people also call them group shirts or coats. He opposed the tight-fitting and narrow-body style of horse racing, which reflected the influence of Mongolian costumes of the Chinese cultural team.

Since the Mongols entered the customs, there has never been a fixed clothing system. Until 132 1 in Yuan Yingzong, referring to the ancient system, Tian Zi and Guan Bai's clothes were made, which were tight at the top and short at the bottom, with big beads hanging on their shoulders. Sunfu is a kind of Mongolian clothing, which is translated into "monochrome clothing" in Chinese, similar to the deep clothing of Zhou Dynasty. The sleeves are tight and narrow, and the skirt is short. This dress is knee-length and has many pleats at the waist. Now it looks like a pleated skirt with horizontal pleats at the waist. Collar types are mostly right collar, square collar and disc collar. The lower body is small trousers and the feet are wrapped in boots. At first, the waist was decorated with felt leather. Later, silk thread was twisted with gold thread or red and purple silk thread and wrapped around the waist, so as to tighten the waist when riding and get the outline of the body. The patterns of clothing are: the sun, the moon, the dragon and the phoenix, etc. The quality is mainly green and red cotton, and the dressing room is decorated with heavy punishment.
