Cultural History of dress today's domestic research historians will no doubt be in a position of the edge, This with overseas cultural history research in sharp contrast fever. Their deep historical background may be that the difference between theory and methods. Ming Dynasty costumes culture is one of the other to be the subject of an in-depth study, looking back in the Ming Dynasty costumes and society, there are several significant characteristics must be mentioned: First, from a historical dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the last rule by the people of the Han dynasty, the Manchu and Mongolian caught in the two "mixed" between the dynasty, both at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, or its collapse, have become fashion At that time, the main focus of the community. Second, the Ming Dynasty set up a week of preparation is extremely tight clothing system can be set since the Great Han and Tang Dynasties, which provided detailed and cumbersome, super-step history. Third, in the late Ming Dynasty and early heterogeneity, pre-"serious cold" and the latter part of the "liberal" a strong contrast, people in the dress, and early in the latter part of a significant change. In this paper, in the light of the West to try some of the cultural history of the new theory and methods, from the dress culture of the Ming Dynasty to the social point of view of political, social and historical analysis, Hope that through clothing, cultural and social interaction of the multi-dimensional study to show a different interpretation of the history of space for our understanding of the social development of the Ming Dynasty and the continuity of the fracture, with a train of thought.Clothing will be placed in the respective countries and discussed the social front, and the attention of state and society between the traffic, which is to start this article on the general framework, At the same time, the early Ming Dynasty and the community in the latter part of the great social contrast, this article constitutes a change of clothing on a time frame.In this framework, the paper will be officiating and administration and consumerism as an understanding of the Ming Dynasty costumes and cultural changes of two key clues, and use it as the backbone to start in detail.This paper is divided into five parts:An introduction to the main review of the domestic apparel cultural history and current situation of research problems, Highlights of today's New History of the Western paradigm and its material culture, fashion and cultural research on the theory, methods and achievements, This article identifies the research perspective and focus of the discussion.The second part is mainly from the country "ceremony governance," the perspective of the Ming Empire, "dressed rule." In the past, fashion and cultural studies, whether mainland or Taiwan, scholars often focus on the vision of the late Ming Dynasty costumes social change, and political culture from the perspective of an in-depth study of the Ming imperial ceremony, served with the complex relationship between the rule of the country's The article is relatively rare. In view of this, this part of the ceremony from the system of social control and regulate the level of the systematic study of the Ming Empire, "dressed rule."
