Introduction

The round collar tunic was not originally a Han dress, but a new type of dress introduced in northern China during the Sixteen Kingdoms period (when the southern part was under the Eastern Jin Dynasty), and became completely popular in ancient China after the Sui and Tang dynasties. However, this costume has evolved over time and has become completely Han Chinese, and as such has become an important and indispensable style in the Han clothing system.

The Ming system Pan collar is a kind of round collar, evolved from the Sui and Tang round collar, generally straight cloth is first folded in half, then ironed into shape, along the inner circle with thread sewn tightly, so that the collar edge curved into a round shape, and the end of the collar edge nailed with buttons for fixed.

The Pan collar Da Ao (盘扣大袄) can be used as a woman's formal dress, usually with Pipa sleeves or wide sleeves, the length of the Da Ao is similar to that of the Da Ao described in the section 2, with slits on both sides and a matching Ma Mian Qun or pleated skirt underneath. The beautifully crafted red Pan collar with a Pan collar can be used as a woman's wedding dress, with a red skirt underneath.

The Pan collar Duan Ao (盘扣短袄) here is similar in shape and size to the Aoqun in section 2, with slits on both sides and the same sleeves, except that the collar styles are different.
