Excuse me,but these clothes look so much like traditional Chinese clothes that I can't help saying something here.Espescially those clothes in Ming Dynasty.Please check this.

It's definitely korean. But i wouldn't be surprised. China has a very rich history and has always veen extremely influencial on many levels, especially to her neighboring countries. I do believe traditional korean clothing was influenced by Chinese fashion too, this is probably why their gowns seem Chinese to you.

"palace hanbok!

don't you dare say that we wore chinese clothing."

The only "hanbok" part of the kings clothing was the white bok he was wearing within. The red clothing on the outside is based on Chinese court systems. Do you go to a University? Ask your professor if the Joseon court wasn't based on Ming clothing. In real life you wouldn't be able to tell me to my face such words as "DON"T YOU DARE". You need to watch your mouth.

Mr. Mae8318, you are not correcting anyone here. Not only is the system, but also the King's "red" clothin, including the son's, the queen, and the concubines were identical to Ming China. Within the Court the Korean only type of clothing would be worn by, King's bodyguards, soldiers/ General/ Those who cook, Those females who perform Medicine, and etc... The Major players from King/ Royal Family/ to the King's advisors wore and followed Ming China.

Fashion from Korea to China and then came back. Koryo-> Yuan- thus Ming took Yuan it has Korean influence. Ming clothes? very few paintings survived from Ming era when Joseon paintings are plenty.

@HeavensAria However, from Ming's emperor's tombs, Chinese scholars discovered emperor's attire and his empress attire, they're looking different from Korean hanbok. So that Ming painting is questionable. It's believed that painting was actually influenced by Korean design. There is even Korean painting depicting Koreans in Chinese cloths. More interestingly, Ming emperors were not pure Chinese, but mixed with Hui and Koreans. Their faces resembled NE Asian not that of Han Chinese face. 

[consoleman09]

@HeavensAria Joseon Hanbok trace back to Silla-Koryo eras, if Ming huafu influenced Korean hanbok then what's with Koryo hanbok then, did it came from Ming too when Koryo existed before Ming. What our chinese friend was referring to Ming's court attires, they look similar to Joseon hanbok from one of their painting but no survived Mingfu that bears same design as hanbok. This questionable Ming painting was middle of dispute Coz it's only Ming painting depicting same Korean hanbok.

I'm sorry I am not Korean, so I can't read your writing. I tried the language translator, and I still can't understand what you said. Please write in English. Thank You

"chosun I mean the level and colour they use was differ from Ming"

The reason why the color was different for Ming is to differentiate High and Low. Ming court like many Chinese dynasty wore the Golden outfit to portray Emperor, like Goryeo dynasty era Emperors. The Joseon King wore Red because he was a lower King to the Ming Emperor. The red was not a choice of the Koreans. They were told to wear red. For example how the King or his son (Joseon) wore black during the Qing dynasty.

what I'm trying to say is 조선이 명나라의 관복 제도를 따랐다 하더라도 조선이 중국의 의복을 입었다는건 확연히 다른 말입니다. hyubgaek님의 말에는 오해의 소지가 다분하다는 말입니다.

"So as far as Joseon Court, yes they wore Chinese clothing"this was wrong , you know my point?At the begining of Chosun dinasty, The King' s clothing was followed Ming court.That's true BUT in a way of chosun I mean the level and colour they use was differ from Ming
