【History Note About Tongtianguanfu (Chinese: 通天冠服)】
Tongtianguanfu (Chinese: 通天冠服) is a form of court attire in hanfu 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. The attire traces its origin from the Han Dynasty. 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,and in the Ming dynasty. The tongtianguanfu was composed of a red outer robe, a white inner robe, a bixi, and a guan called tongtianguan(tongtian crown), and a neck accessory called fangxin quling.
Among the Tongtianguanfu (Chinese: 通天冠服), the "Tongtian crown" which wear by emperor has a long history, and has been recorded as early as the Han Dynasty(202 BC –220 AD) in "Book of the Later Han·Yufu Zhixia/后汉书·舆服志下":
“通天冠,高九寸,正竖,顶少邪(斜)却,乃直下为铁卷梁,前有山、展筒、为述,乘舆所常服。”
In the Han Dynasty, when all the officials paid their congratulations on the Zhēngyuè/正月 (the first month of the year in the Chinese calendar), the emperor would wear the "Tongtian crown". According to the Tongtian Crown, it existed in all dynasties from the Qin to the Ming Dynasty (except the Yuan Dynasty), and was abolished in the Qing Dynasty.
And the Tongtianguanfu (Chinese: 通天冠服) of the Han Chinese dynasties in China have gone through a certain amount of evolution.
For reference:
Han Dynasty(202 BC –220 AD) Tongtian crown/通天冠
The earliest form of Tongtian crown that can be seen so far comes from the Han Dynasty stone carvings.
The Tongtian Crown of this period has a similar structure to the Jinxian Crown(进贤冠) of the ministers.
Wei and Jin Dynasties-Southern and Northern Dynasties Tongtian crown/通天冠
Tang dynasty (618–907) Tongtian crown/通天冠
Ming dynasty (1368-1644) Tongtian crown/通天冠
The Tongtian crown of the Ming Dynasty was briefly used in the early years of Hongwu(the early ming dynasty), but was soon completely replaced by Pi Bian(皮弁), and its appearance was much lower-key than that of the Song Dynasty
after replace by Pi Bian crown(皮弁):
This Pi Bian crown belonged to King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty, so it only has 9 colorful beads, while the emperor's Pi Bian crown has 12 colorful beads on it.
※The Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty established by the Manchus did not use this kind of crown and clothing※
