Judging from many portraits and notes, cloak was a popular costume in Ming Dynasty. It was mentioned in "Copying from the Cloud" at the end of Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, cloaks were still popular for some time because "men followed women".
Cloak also appears repeatedly in A Dream of Red Mansions. It is worth noting that there are both cloaks and cloaks in A Dream of Red Mansions, so there is a difference between them.
Wang Qi's "Three Sages Meeting" in the Ming Dynasty said: "The back is the cloak of today." In other words, the coat of Ming and Qing Dynasties is the back of Song Dynasty. The illustration with "back" in "Three Stories" shows a dress with a straight collar, double-breasted buttons, two underarm slits and two long sleeves.
