Dragon robes, also known as gunlongpao (simplified Chinese: 袞龙袍; traditional Chinese: 袞龍袍; pinyin: gǔn lóng páo; hangul: 곤룡포) or longpao for short, is a form of everyday clothing which had a Chinese dragon, called long (龍),[2] as the main decoration; it was worn by the emperors of China.[3][4]: 392  Dragon robes were also adopted by the rulers of neighbouring countries, such as Korea (Goryeo and Joseon dynasties), Vietnam (Nguyễn dynasty), and the Ryukyu Kingdom.
