Yuanlingshan

A yuanlingshan (Chinese: 圓領衫; pinyin: yuánlǐngshān; lit. 'round collar jacket') is a type of round-collared upper garment (shan) in the traditional Chinese style of clothing known as Hanfu; it is also referred to as a yuanlingpao (圓領袍; yuánlǐngpáo; 'round collar gown/robe') or a panlingpao (盤領袍; pánlǐngpáo) when used as a robe (called paofu^[1]: 17).^[2][3] The yuanlingshan and yuanlingpao were both developed under the influence of ancient Chinese clothing, known as Hufu, originating from the Donghu people during the early Han dynasty^[4] and later by the Wuhu, including the Xianbei people, during the Six Dynasties period.^[4] The yuanlingpao is an article of formal attire primarily worn by men, although in certain dynasties, such as the Tang dynasty, it was also fashionable for women to wear.^[2] In the Tang dynasty, the yuanlingpao could be transformed into the fanlingpao using buttons.^[5]

There are specific forms of yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan named for their decorations and construction; for example, the panling lanshan (盤領襴衫), also called lanshan (襴衫) for short,^[6][3] bufu,^{[7]: 185–186} wulingshan (無領衫; 'collarless shirt'),^[8][9] longpao (龍袍; 'dragon robe'), and mangfu (蟒服; 'python clothing').

Terminology

See also: Garment collars in Hanfu

The term yuanlingshan literally translates to "round collar shirt", consisting of the Chinese characters yuanling (Chinese: 圆领), which literally translates to "round collar" and shan (衫), literally translated as "shirt".

The term yuanlingpao literally translates to "round collar robe (or gown)", consisting of the Chinese characters yuanling and pao (袍). Pao is an abbreviation for the term paofu (袍服), which is literally translated as "robe" or "gown".

The term panling lanshan (盤領襴衫) or simply lanshan (襴衫) refers to a specific variation of yuanlingpao characterized by a bottom horizontal band attached at the knee level, while following the overall form of the shenyi, a long robe.^[6][3]

The term bufu (补服) is a generic term referring to clothing adorned with a rank badge known as buzi (Chinese: 补子; pinyin: bǔzi), which is often a mandarin square or roundels, to indicate its wearer's rank.^{[10]: 64 [7]: 185–186} Such garments were typically worn by government officials.^{[7]: 185–186}

When a yuanlingpao or yuanlingshan is decorated with Chinese dragons called long (simplified Chinese: 龙; traditional Chinese: 龍) or decorated with mang (蟒; 'python') decorations, including roundels or square rank badges, the generic term longpao or mangfu is applied respectively depending on the number of dragon-claws used and the time period.^{[note 1]}

History

Han dynasty

The yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan were both common forms of clothing for the Hu people.^[4] During the Eastern Han dynasty, some forms of Hanfu started to be influenced by the Hufu of the Hu people, leading to the emergence of garments with round collars, or yuanling.^[4] In this period, the yuanlingpao was primarily used as an undergarment.^[4][11] The collars of the Han dynasty yuanlingpao were not turned on both sides and their edges were similar to the styles worn in the Sui and Tang dynasties.^[4] It was also during the early years of the Han dynasty that the shape of the yuanlingpao worn in the later dynasties, such as in the Ming dynasties, started to develop.^[11]

Wei, Jin, Northern, and Southern dynasties / Six Dynasties

Main article: Hufu

During the era of the Six Dynasties, the yuanlingpao began to be worn as an outer garment^[11] influenced by the culture of ethnic minorities, the Wuhu, who founded the minority nationalities regime in the Wei and Jin dynasties.^[4] It is also during the Six Dynasties period that the yuanlingpao started to be worn as formal clothing.^[11] Hence, these ethnic minorities played a significant role in laying the foundation for the popularity of the yuanlingpao in the subsequent dynasties.^[4]

Influence of the Xianbei

When the Wuhu migrated to the Central Plains, their dressing culture influenced the clothing culture of the Han people in the region.^[4] These northern nomads, including the Xianbei, also introduced new clothing styles, including the quekua (缺胯), a type of crotch-length long jacket. The quekua had either a round or snug (plunged) collar, tight sleeves, and less overlap than the traditional Hanfu, which allowed for greater freedom of movement, especially for horse riding, and strongly impacted Chinese fashion.^[12]: 317

 

Panling lanshan, Wei, Jin, or Southern-Northern Dynasties

The Northern Wei dynasty was marked by cultural integration between the Xianbei and the Han Chinese. The Xianbei ruling elites adopted Chinese clothing and Chinese customs, while the Han Chinese started to integrate some of the Xianbei's nomadic style clothing, including high boots and narrow-sleeved yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan into Han clothing.^{[13]: 183, 185–186} In this period, the yuanlingpao worn by unearthed terracotta warriors were closed in the zuoren-style instead of youren-style, reflecting its Hufu characteristics.^{[note 2][5]} Since the Northern Wei dynasty, the shapes of the Han Chinese's paofu also started to be influenced by the yuanlingpao-style robe, which originated in Western Asia and was then spread to the East through the Sogdians of Central Asia.^[5]

In the Northern and Southern dynasties, the yuanlingpao of the Xianbei was localized by the Han Chinese, resulting in a loss of its association with Hufu and developed into a new form of Hanfu, called panling lanshan. This evolution was achieved through the addition of a new seam structure called lan (襕; lán), which aligned with the traditional Hanfu style and followed the Han Chinese's shenyi robe.^[6][3]

Influence of the Sogdians

The Sogdians and their descendants, mostly from the merchant class, who lived in China during this period also wore a form of knee-length, yuanling-style kaftan that retained their own ethnic characteristics but also showed some influences from East Asia, including Chinese and early Turkic influences.^[14] Due to the influence and the demands of the Chinese population, most Sogdian attire in China had to be closed to the right in the youren-style.^[14] Their kaftan would often be buttoned up to the neck, forming a round collar. Occasionally, the collar or lower button would be undone to form lapel robes,^[14][5] a style sometimes referred to as fanlingpao (Chinese: 翻领袍; pinyin: fānlǐngpáo; lit. 'Lapel robe'). This dressing custom of wearing fanlingpao-style robes was later inherited and developed into the yuanlingpao of the subsequent Tang and Sui dynasties.^[5]

Sui and Tang dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period

In the Tang dynasty, the descendants of the Xianbei and the other non-Chinese people who ruled northern China from 304 – 581 AD lost their ethnic identity and became Chinese; the term Han referred to all people of the Tang dynasty instead of describing the population ruled by the Xianbei elites during the Northern dynasties.^[15]

The yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan, tied with a belt commonly made of leather at the waist,^[16] became a typical form of fashion for both men and women during the Tang dynasty, as it was fashionable for women to dress like men in this period.^{[1]: 34–36 [2]} Both garments became the main form of clothing for men as well.^[16] Both the yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan of this period had a long, straight back and front with a border at the collar. The front and back of the garments each had a piece of fabric attached for tying the clothing around the waist. The sleeves could be tight or loose, with tight sleeves designed to facilitate ease of movements.^[16] Trousers were worn under the yuanlingpao.^[2] Some women also wore banbi under their yuanlingpao.^[17]

One distinctive feature of men's clothing during the Tang dynasty was a horizontal band, which could also be attached to the lower region of the yuanlingpao.^[18]: 81 Tang dynasty scholars and government officials wore long, red panling lanshan with long sleeves, accompanied by headwear called futou.^[19] In 630 during the 4th year of Zhen Guan, colour regulations for the panling lanshan of the officials were decreed: purple for the 3rd and 4th rank officials; bright red for the 5th rank officials; green for the 6th and 7th rank officials; and blue for the 8th and 9th officials.^[18]: 81In the Kaiyuan era (713 – 741 AD), slaves and the common soldiers also started to wear the scholar's panling lanshan.^[20]

In the Tang dynasty, it was also popular for people to use fabrics, including brocade, to decorate the collars, sleeves and front of the yuanlingpao; this practice of clothing decoration is known as "partial decorations of gowns" and was influenced by the Sogdians of Central Asia, who had entered China since the Northern and Southern dynasties period.^[21] Influenced by foreign cultures,^[21] some yuanlingpao could have a band of fabric decorated with Central Asian roundels which would run down at the center of the robe as a form of partial decoration.^[17]

It was also popular to wear Hufu.^[20] Almost all figurines and mural paintings depicting female court attendants dressed in men's clothing are wearing Hufu.^[17] The Hufu which was popular in this period was the clothing worn by the Tartars and the people who lived in the Western regions,^[22] which was brought from the Silk Road.^[23] Robes with double overturned lapels and tight-fitting sleeves were known as kuapao, which originated from Central Asia.^[24] During this period, the yuanlingpao could be turned into a fanlingpao under the influence of Hufu by unbuttoning the robes, while the fanlingpao could be also be turned back into a yuanlingpao when buttoned.^[5] In some unearthed pottery figures wearing fanlingpao dating from the Tang dynasty, it was found that the yuanlingpao had three buttons on the collar.^[5] After the High Tang dynasty period, the influences of Hufu progressively started to fade and the clothing started to become increasingly loose.^[22]

Song dynasty

During the Song dynasty, the official attire worn by Song court officials was the yuanlingpao with long, loose and broad sleeves.^{[25]: 275 [26]: 3} The colours of the yuanlingpao were also regulated based on the official's ranks.^{[25]: 275 [26]: 3} The yuanlingpao had a large overlapping region being held down by a broad strip of fabric^[26]: 3and a long line which divided the front part of the gown.^[25]: 275 Kerchief (typically futou), leather belt, and yudai (Chinese: 魚袋; lit. 'fish-bag'), black hide boots or shoes, would be worn by the court officials as accessories.^{[25]: 275 [26]: 3}

Khitan men wore the Khitan-style yuanlingpao with a belt at their waist and trousers tucked into felt boots.^{[27]: 46 [28]} The Khitan-style yuanlingpao differed from those worn by the Han Chinese in terms of design and construction:^[29] the Khitan-style yuanlingpao had both back and side slits, with the side slits located in the lower region of the robes.^[30] The back slits facilitated horse-riding and protected wearers' legs from the cold.^[29] Some of them had no slits.^[30] The Khitan-style yuanlingpao also had narrow sleeves,^[28] was closed on the left side,^[30] and was unadorned.^[29]

Ming dynasty

After the establishment of the Ming dynasty, the emperor restored the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties.^[11] During the Ming dynasty, the yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan were also the most common form of attire for all genders, including officials and nobles. The yuanlingpao and/or yuanlingshan were not typically worn alone; a sleeveless vest called dahu and an inner robe (either the tieli or zhishen) was commonly worn underneath.

The difference between the yuanlingpao or yuanlingshan of the civilians and of the officials and nobles was the addition of a buzi (either a mandarin square or roundels rank badge^[10]: 64) and the fabric materials used.^{[11][note 3]} The clothing of the Ming dynasty was predominantly red,^[11] although, there were strict colour regulations depending on the ranks of officials.^{[11][note 4]} During an Imperial Funeral, Ming officers wore a grey-blue yuanlingshan without a Mandarin square, wujiaodai (Chinese: 烏角帶; pinyin: wūjiǎodài; lit. 'black horn belt') and wushamao. This set was known as Qingsufu (Chinese: 青素服).

The Ming dynasty yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan were typically characterized by the "cross-plane structure", with the back and front being bounded by the middle seam of the sleeves. The front and back were symmetrical and the left and right were also largely symmetrical; there is a central line acting as the axis of this symmetry.^[11] It has a round collar without a high-standing collar which is secured with a button; it overlaps on the front side and closes at the right side in the youren-style, which follows the traditional Hanfu system.^[11] It also has side slits on the right and left side. The sleeves of the yuanlingshan are mostly in a style called pipaxiu (Chinese: 琵琶袖; pinyin: pípáxiù; lit. 'pipa sleeves'), which means the sleeves are large but curved to form a narrow sleeve cuff, to facilitate movements and be more practical in daily life.^[11] Men's yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan also have side panels called anbai (Chinese: 暗擺; pinyin: ànbǎi; lit. 'hidden pendulum') at the side slits to conceal the undergarments.^[11] These side panels are also referred to as "side ears" which are unique to the Ming dynasty's yuanlingpao; this specific structure reflects the combination of Hanfu and attire of the Mongols, the ethnic minority.^[11] The "side ear" also allows for greater ease of movement and can increase the looseness of the robe.^[11]

During the Qing dynasty, the Manchu rulers enforced the tifayifu policy along with 10 exemptions. Among the exempted people were the Han Chinese women, who were allowed to continue wearing the Ming-style Hanfu, and on-stage theatre performers.^[31][32] While qizhuang was worn in the dominant sphere of society - ritual and official locations, Hanfu continued to be worn in the subordinate societal sphere, such as in women's quarters and theatres.^[31]

Korea

Dallyeong

 

Three dallyeong from the Museum of Traditional Korean Music, Korea

In Korea, the yuanlingpao was introduced during the Tang dynasty and became known as the dallyeong (Korean: 단령; Hanja: 團領; RR: danryeong; Korean pronunciation: [daɭjʌoŋ]).^[34] During the rule of Queen Jindeok of Silla, Kim Chunchu personally travelled to the Tang dynasty to request for clothing and belts and voluntarily accepted the official uniform system of the Tang dynasty, which included the dallyeong among many other clothing items.^[35] Since then, the dallyeong continued to be worn until the end of Joseon.^[34] In the late Goryeo period, under the reign of King U, the dallyeong was adopted as an official gwanbok when the official uniform system of the Ming dynasty was imported.^[36]

Wonsam

The initial shape of the wonsam worn by women from the 15th to 16th century was similar to the dallyeong and included the use of a collar which was similar to the dallyeong-style collar.^[37]

Japan

In Japan, the formal court attire for men and women was established by the start of the 8th century and was based on the court attire of the Tang dynasty.^[38] The round collared robe called ho in the Sokutai (束帯), which was worn by the Japanese Emperors, and the noblemen,^[39] was adopted from the yuanlingpao.^[40]

According to the Ming dynasty's Government letter against Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Ming Government bestowed on him a set of changfu (Chinese: 常服羅) containing a red yuanlingpao with qilin mandarin square (Chinese: 大紅織金胷背麒麟圓領), a dark blue dahu (Chinese: 青褡護), and a green tieli (Chinese: 綠貼裏).

According to the book Weaving a realm by the Vietnam Center, the áo viên lĩnh (chữ Hán: 襖圓領), a 4-long flap robe with a round neck,^[41] was imported to Vietnam from China.^[42] However, this fashion gradually faded away from their daily lives due to the clothing reforms decreed by the Nguyen lords.^[42]

Notes

1. A Chinese dragon can be found with 3, 4 or 5 claws. From ancient times to the Song dynasty, Chinese dragons were typically depicted with 3 claws. From the Ming dynasty, a Chinese dragon was defined as having 5 claws while the 4-clawed dragon was referred to as mang (python). There is a clear difference between the Dragon robe and mangfu. See page Mangfu, Dragon robe, Japanese dragon for more details.
2. Zuoren refers to having the garment closing on the left side while youren refers to having the garments closing on the right side.
3. In the Ming dynasty, officials were silk or leno silk. The ordinary civilians however wore coarse clothing made of cotton and linen.
4. According to the Ming dynasty regulations officials ranking from the 1st to 4th grades wore red; the 5th to 7th wore green, and the 8th to 9th also wore green.
