Abstract

The Yuan Dynasty was the first regime established by a minority group. It encompassed vast lands where various nations coexisted and formed a unique clothing culture. Braided line robes were a unique type of male attire prevalent in Mongolian society during the 13th and 14th centuries. They were named after the hundreds of litzendraht wires at the waist, which are considered important physical evidence of cultural exchange between the East and West during that specific period and in those regions. Many historical clothing monographs have men-tioned that the braid robe was the distinctive attire of the Mongol Nationality during the Yuan Dynasty. However, the research on the braid robe is not comprehensive, the observations are not precise, and there is little discussion about the dressing and the associated expenses. This article focuses on the identity of individuals who wear braided robes. It employs the "literature-figure-object" empirical method to explore who wears the braid and their motivations for doing so.
