Tongtianguanfu
Emperor Xuanzu (宣祖) of Song wearing tongtianguanfu.
Chinese通天冠服
Literal meaning'Direct links with Heaven' uniform

Tongtianguanfu (Chinese: 通天冠服) is a form of court attire which was worn by the Emperor during the Song dynasty on very important occasions, such as grand court sessions and during major title-granting ceremonies.[1] It was also worn in the Jin dynasty Emperors when the apparel system of the Song dynasty was imitated and formed their own carriages and apparel system,[2] and in the Ming dynasty.[3]

Terminology

The term tongtian means "direct links with heaven".[4]

Composition and construction

The tongtianguanfu is composed of:

The gauze outer robe (paofu), called jiangshapao (Chinese: 绛纱袍).[5] It was crimson in colour with patterns of clouds and dragons embroidery which was gold and red in colours.[1] There were black borders stitched to the collar, sleeves, lapels and hems of the crimson outer robe.[1]

The crimson outer robe was worn with a red gauze skirt and a crimson bixi (Chinese: 蔽膝, knee cover) was fastened around the waist of its wearer.[1][5] The inner garment was a white robe (Chinese: 白纱中单).[5][1]

The high crown was called tongtianguan (Chinese: 通天冠; lit. 'a hat accessing the sky'[2]), which was also known as chengtianguan (lit. 'a hat bearing the sky').[2] The tongtianguan was exclusively worn by the Emperor during some grand ceremonies.[2] The high crown was pinned on the hair with hairpins made of jade or rhinoceros horn.[1]

A pendant-like ornament called fangxin quling (Chinese: 方心曲领; lit. 'bent collar with a square center') was hung around the neck.[1][5] The fangxin quling was a notable feature in the ceremonial court attire of the Song and Ming dynasties.[6] It was made out of silk and was cut into a circle (which hung around the neck and shoulder areas) and a square (either solid or open square) which would fall over the cross-collared lapels of the paofu.[6] The shape of the circle and square symbolised the Heaven and earth respectively.[6]

A belt with ribbons was also tied to the waist.[1]

As footwear, the Emperor would have worn white stockings and black shoes.[1][5]
