Fanlingpao (Chinese: 翻领袍; pinyin: fānlǐngpáo; lit. 'Lapel robe'), sometimes referred to as kuapao (Chinese: 袴袍) and hufu (Chinese: 胡服) in the Tang dynasty when they feature double overturned lapels, is a type of paofu with lapels. It was categorized as Hufu instead of Hanfu due to its association with clothing of the foreigners who came from the Silk road.[1] Fanlingpao were first introduced in China during the Northern Wei dynasty and became popular in Northern Qi.[2] The custom of wearing fanlingpao were then inherited and further developed in the Sui and Tang dynasties.[2] The fanlingpao could be transformed into a round collar robe, called yuanlingpao, in the Tang dynasty through the use of buttons.[2] The fanlingpao shows foreign influences, which are mostly likely from the Persian, Sassanian Persian, Iranian Sogdian,[3][2] and Turkic.[4][note 1] Fanlingpao were popular fashion during Tang dynasty for both men and women[1] and showed the popularity of Hufu-style clothing during this period; it was considered hufu while yuanlingpao was categorized as a form Hanfu.[5]
