Dahu (clothing)
Dahu (simplified Chinese: 褡护; traditional Chinese: 褡護; pinyin: Dāhù) was a form of jacket which originated in the Ming dynasty.[1] In Ming dynasty, the dahu was either a new type of banbi (Chinese: 半臂; lit. 'half-arm') or a sleeveless jacket,[2][3] whose designs was influenced by the Mongol Yuan dynasty clothing.[1][3] The dahu could be worn over the tieli robe and/or could be worn under the round-collar robe.[3][2]
In the 21st century, the dahu, along with many forms of hanfu, was revived following the Hanfu movement.[4]
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]
