I miss them and their shenanigans. Between Alana making trouble or both Maara and Alana make Raafa angry because they touch his things without permission or when Maara fighting in bar and same goes with Alana that leading to Raafa drag them both back to their home.

do you have any pictures or resources on what yuan dynasty hanfu looked like? i see a lot of song and ming, but rarely yuan. i know it was ruled by the mongols, but i don’t think i ever read that the han were forced to wear mongol clothing like they were manchu clothing during the qing dynasty.

Yes. Han was not forced to wear Mongolian clothing in Yuan dynasty, but before the Mongolians conquered all of China, the northern part of zhongyuan regions was conquered by Jin Dynasty of the Jurchens, who enforced rules to wear only Jurchen clothing. Hence, in Yuan dynasty Han people from the north and the south (previously ruled by Song dynasty) had different dressing habits. At the same time, for various reasons people might switch to Mongolian clothing. Hence, Han clothing during the Yuan dynasty was a mix and match of various cultures, depending on where those people were from. Those from the north would wear clothing predominantly influences by Xixia, Liao, Jin dynasties, while those from the south would wear clothing evolved from Song.

Men usually wore cross-collar or circular-collar robes, similar to Song dynasty.

Woman often depicted wearing ao/shan with mamian qun, often with a short-sleeves parallel collar jacket. There is not many ao/shan excavated from Yuan dynasty. On the other hand, many short-sleeves did. These short-sleeves came in a variety of size (sleeve-length, fitting), and could have side vents. These short sleeves was probably inherited 貉袖hexiu of the Song dynasty.

The blue and brown colour short-sleeves represent two important colours in Yuan dynasty wardrobe. The Mongolians hold blue-green in high regard, while brown was one of the most common colour for the commoners (because Yuan dynasty banned commoners from wearing many bright colours and could only wear the natural colour of the fibre or dark colour).

There might be other type of skirts around that was not mamian qun.

Left or right

Interestingly, from the figurines and murals, women often depicted as wearing the right lapel over their left lapel (左衽zuǒrèn). While men wore their clothes like Han people, with the left lapel over the right lapel (右衽yòurèn; the collar forms a y shape).

It was speculated that Mongolians used to wear zuoren, but later they officially pushed for youren, due to Han influence. It is possible that the switch did not affect women and commoners, although there are drawings of high-ranking Mongolian women in youren.

In addition, unlike Han people of the time, they actually regards the right side as the more important side, although later they switched back to the left side. Hence the position of the husband and wife depicted on murals was used as an evidence to place the period of the tomb.

At the same time, the Jurchens actually worn zuoren exclusively. Thus women wearing zuoren might just be something left over from Jin dynasty.

Effect of Yuan Dynasty

Yuan dynasty introduced many new elements into Han people’s wardrobe, and some even stayed firmly in Ming dynasty (much to the effort of the Hongwu Emperor). Some examples:

Terlig, jisun and others gave rise to tieli, yesha, dahu, zhaojia etc.

The closing of cuff 收祛

钹笠帽Bólì mào (don’t know what its Mongolian name) became damao

The Nasich textile weaving technique form Persia

The golden collar and upper arm decorations (云肩)

The golden rectangular decorations on the chest and the back became buzi

This is a very brief introduction to Han clothing during the Yuan dynasty. I am not particularly familiar with this dynasty and I hope I did not made any glaring mistake.
