Yuanlingshan

A yuanlingshan (Chinese: 圓領衫; pinyin: yuánlǐngshān; lit. 'round collar jacket') is a type of round-collared upper garment (shan) in the traditional Chinese style of clothing known as Hanfu; it is also referred to as a yuánlǐngpáo (圓領袍; 'round collar gown/robe') or a pánlǐngpáo (盤領袍) when used as a robe (called paofu).

Quling (Chinese: 曲領; pinyin: Qū lǐng; lit. 'Curved collar') refers to clothing with a round or arc-shaped neckline, which is one of the important forms of Hanfu. Yuanlingshan falls under this category.The origins of Yuanlingshan are currently unknown. However, current research suggests that Quling existed during the Shang Dynasty, so Yuanlingshan existed before the Western Han Dynasty.

The yuanlingpao is an article of formal attire primarily worn by men, but women can also wear them. In the Tang dynasty, the yuanlingpao could be transformed into the fanlingpao using buttons.

There are specific forms of yuanlingpao and yuanlingshan named for their decorations and construction; for example, the panling lanshan (盤領襴衫), also called lanshan (襴衫) for short, bufu, wulingshan (無領衫; 'collarless shirt'), longpao (龍袍; 'dragon robe'), and mangfu (蟒服; 'python clothing').
