History

Yuan dynasty

Main article: Fashion in the Yuan dynasty

In the Yuan dynasty, banbi were also referred as dahu in a broad sense but could also refer to a specific type of banbi of the same name, which is a half-sleeved long robe (changpao 长袍) with a cross-collar closing to the right (jiaoling youren 交领右衽).[4] This form of dahu (y-shaped collar long robe with short sleeves) was worn by the Mongols in the Yuan dynasty over long-sleeved robes in similar fashion as it was worn prior to the founding of the Yuan dynasty.[5]: 142 [6]: 43, 52 

Ming dynasty

In the Ming dynasty, the dahu could be worn over the tieli robe and/or could be worn under the round-collar robe.[3][2] Some forms of dahu was bestowed to the Joseon Kings; for example, in 1444 under the rule of King Sejong of Joseon, the Ming dynasty bestowed him dahu, along with cheollik and gollyeongpo.[7][note 1] In the 21st century, the dahu, along with many forms of hanfu, was revived following the Hanfu movement.[8]

Construction and design

The dahu combined the features of the Tang and Song dynasties hanfu and the Mongol Yuan dynasty clothing.[3] The dahu was a cross-collar jacket which wrapped on the right side; it could be either short-sleeves or no-sleeves.[3]

Notes

    The translated English version wrote 'dopo'; however dopo is another kind of robe. The Korean version links to the page 'dapo'. Cheollik is the equivalent of the Chinese robe Tieli. Both the Korean cheollik and Chinese tieli are derivatives of the Yuan dynasty's terlig.
