In the early Ming Dynasty,the government issued strict laws on the style,color,fabric and use of clothing,hoping to clarify the social class through clothing.Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty,the rapid development of commodity economy has laid the material foundation for the richness and development of clothing.The government's control over clothing is also increasingly relaxed,and people begin to compete for clothes with fashionable styles and beautiful materials.Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty,the arrogation of dress has become more and more common.More and more merchants wore Confucian clothes.Try to conform to the mainstream of society.Through the analysis of relevant literature and image materials,this paper explores the phenomenon of"Confucian"in the clothing of merchants in the late Ming Dynasty and the reasons behind it.
