Officials in the Ming Dynasty often wore civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty mainly included court clothes, sacrificial clothes, public clothes, and regular clothes. Officials wore black gauze hats, squid heads, and wore narrow-sleeved robes. "Dianling" means a high collar with a round edge. This robe was the main style of men in the Ming Dynasty. Not only can officials be used, but also can be worn by scholars and common people, but the colors are different. The collar clothes worn by ordinary people must avoid black, purple, green, willow yellow, turmeric and bright yellow, and other colors such as blue and ochre, which are commonly known as "various colored collar clothes".
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the court made new regulations on the regular clothes of officials. All civil and military officials, regardless of their rank, must have a patch on the chest and back of the robe. Civil officials use birds and military officials use beasts to show the difference. This is the most distinctive official uniform in the Ming Dynasty. The Qilin robe is the court uniform of officials. The clothing is characterized by a large collar, a slanted collar, loose sleeves, a horizontal waist on the front cloak, and full pleats on the bottom. The embroidered patterns are excluding the chest and the back.
In addition to the two groups of backs, it is also distributed at the upper end of the rotator cuff and under the waist (a horizontal strip). There is also a wide edge made of the original color under the left and right ribs, which was called "swing" at that time. The book "Zhuo Zhongzhi" by the eunuch Liu Ruoyu of the Ming Dynasty specifically describes this kind of clothing. He said: "The back collar is constantly, and there are sways on both sides, and there are pleats on the front collar, and there are horse-face folds on the bottom, starting from both sides." The materials and patterns used in this kind of clothing have certain systems according to regulations.
"Ming Shi-Yu Fu Zhi" states: In the 13th year of Zhengde, "the ministers were given one red silk and yarn each. Their clothes were colored, one grade bullfighting, two grade flying fish, three grade python, four grade fifth grade kirin, sixth grade tiger, and bullock; Hanlin Kedao is not limited to the grade rank; but the fifth grade of the Ministry of Cao is not related to it." The clothes painted in this picture are embroidered with the pattern of Qilin. Qilin is an animal in ancient legend, with a deer, a scale armor, a oxtail and a horse hoof, and a meat horn. Later generations used it as a symbol of auspiciousness to be widely used in the decoration of various types of artifacts. The image of Qilin has also changed and the head is painted.

The command guards of the Jinyiwei, who have special positions, can also take the horn-spreading head. They are taken from the Tang Dynasty scarf, but they have a hard helmet and use iron wire as hard feet. The feet are one foot or two inch long. They must be worn by those who wear public uniforms in the court. Python robe is a kind of garments given by the emperor, and they must wear jade belts to wear when wearing python robes. The python robe is similar to the dragon robe dress worn by the emperor. It is not included in the official uniforms, but the robe that the eunuchs and prime ministers in the Ming Dynasty were rewarded by the envoys and prime ministers. Obtaining such robes is considered to be a great honor and favor
