Quling () 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 zh is an article of formal attire primarily worn by men, but women can also wear them. In the Tang dynasty, the zh could be transformed into the zh using buttons.
There are specific forms of zh and zh named for their decorations and construction; for example, the , also called for short, zh, , , and .

See page Mangfu, Dragon robe, Japanese dragon for more details.}}
History
Before and during the Han Dynasty
The origin of zh is currently unknown. However, current research suggests that zh existed during the Shang Dynasty, at this time usually used as outerwear. By the Zhou Dynasty, zh was already commonly used as military uniform, and in daily life as outerwear and underwear, and subsequent dynasties inherited this practice. It is known that zh was used as both outerwear and underwear during the Western Han Dynasty. But more often, it is mainly used as underwear, but children and women often wear it as outerwear. Starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, although zh was also used as underwear, it has returned to being used as outerwear more and more frequently, until it became one of the common outerwear in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The collars of the Han dynasty zh were not turned on both sides and their edges were similar to the styles worn in the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was also during the early years of the Han dynasty that the shape of the zh worn in the later dynasties, such as in the Ming dynasties, started to develop.

Wei, Jin, Northern, and Southern dynasties / Six Dynasties
Main article: Hufu
According to the History of the Southern Dynasties, the clothing of the Hu people was a long robe with Tight sleeves, while the Western Wei murals show a round collar, a double-breasted front, and a long robe with narrow sleeves.This type of clothing with a double-breasted collar and narrow sleeves appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty and continued into the following dynasties. Therefore, current scholars believe that the round-necked clothing of the Hu people was influenced by the military uniforms of the Qin and Qin Dynasty. As time went by, a round-necked garment with the obvious characteristics of the narrow-sleeved long robe of the Qin and Qin Dynasty military uniform was formed, but with national characteristics and tailoring system.
Influence of the Xianbei
When the zh migrated to the Central Plains, their dressing culture influenced the clothing culture of the Han people in the region.These northern nomads, including the Xianbei, also introduced new clothing styles, including the , a type of crotch-length long jacket. The zh had either a round or snug (plunged) collar, tight sleeves, and less overlap than the traditional zh, which allowed for greater freedom of movement, especially for horse riding, and strongly impacted Chinese fashion. [[File:Pottery Figurine of Wei, Jin, or Southern-Northern Dynasties (10369962173).jpg|thumb|222x222px|[[Panling Lanshan|Panling lanshan]], Wei, Jin, or Southern-Northern Dynasties]] The Northern Wei dynasty was marked by cultural integration between the Xianbei and the Han Chinese. The Xianbei ruling elites adopted Chinese clothing and Chinese customs, while the Han Chinese started to integrate some of the Xianbei's nomadic style clothing, including high boots and narrow-sleeved zh and zh into Han clothing. In this period, the zh worn by unearthed terracotta warriors were closed in the zh-style instead of zh-style, reflecting its zh characteristics. Since the Northern Wei dynasty, the shapes of the Han Chinese's zh also started to be influenced by the zh-style robe, which originated in Western Asia and was then spread to the East through the Sogdians of Central Asia.
In the Northern and Southern dynasties, the zh of the Xianbei was localized by the Han Chinese, resulting in a loss of its association with zh and developed into a new form of zh, called zh. This evolution was achieved through the addition of a new seam structure called , which aligned with the traditional zh style and followed the Han Chinese's zh robe.

Influence of the Sogdians

The Sogdians and their descendants, mostly from the merchant class, who lived in China during this period also wore a form of knee-length, zh-style kaftan that retained their own ethnic characteristics but also showed some influences from East Asia, including Chinese and early Turkic influences. Due to the influence and the demands of the Chinese population, most Sogdian attire in China had to be closed to the right in the zh-style. Their kaftan would often be buttoned up to the neck, forming a round collar. Occasionally, the collar or lower button would be undone to form lapel robes, a style sometimes referred to as . This dressing custom of wearing zh-style robes was later inherited and developed into the zh of the subsequent Tang and Sui dynasties.
Sui and Tang dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period
In the Tang dynasty, the descendants of the Xianbei and the other non-Chinese people who ruled northern China from 304 – 581 AD lost their ethnic identity and became Chinese; the term Han referred to all people of the Tang dynasty instead of describing the population ruled by the Xianbei elites during the Northern dynasties.
The zh and zh, tied with a belt commonly made of leather at the waist, became a typical form of fashion for both men and women during the Tang dynasty, as it was fashionable for women to dress like men in this period. Both garments became the main form of clothing for men as well. Both the zh and zh of this period had a long, straight back and front with a border at the collar. The front and back of the garments each had a piece of fabric attached for tying the clothing around the waist. The sleeves could be tight or loose, with tight sleeves designed to facilitate ease of movements. Trousers were worn under the zh. Some women also wore zh under their zh.

One distinctive feature of men's clothing during the Tang dynasty was a horizontal band, which could also be attached to the lower region of the zh. Tang dynasty scholars and government officials wore long, red zh with long sleeves, accompanied by headwear called zh. In 630 during the 4th year of Zhen Guan, colour regulations for the zh of the officials were decreed: purple for the 3rd and 4th rank officials; bright red for the 5th rank officials; green for the 6th and 7th rank officials; and blue for the 8th and 9th officials.In the Kaiyuan era (713 – 741 AD), slaves and the common soldiers also started to wear the scholar's zh.

In the Tang dynasty, it was also popular for people to use fabrics, including brocade, to decorate the collars, sleeves and front of the zh; this practice of clothing decoration is known as "partial decorations of gowns" and was influenced by the Sogdians of Central Asia, who had entered China since the Northern and Southern dynasties period. Influenced by foreign cultures, some zh could have a band of fabric decorated with Central Asian roundels which would run down at the center of the robe as a form of partial decoration.
It was also popular to wear zh. Almost all figurines and mural paintings depicting female court attendants dressed in men's clothing are wearing zh. The zh which was popular in this period was the clothing worn by the Tartars and the people who lived in the Western regions, which was brought from the Silk Road. Robes with double overturned lapels and tight-fitting sleeves were known as zh, which originated from Central Asia. During this period, the zh could be turned into a zh under the influence of zh by unbuttoning the robes, while the zh could be also be turned back into a zh when buttoned. In some unearthed pottery figures wearing zh dating from the Tang dynasty, it was found that the zh had three buttons on the collar. After the High Tang dynasty period, the influences of zh progressively started to fade and the clothing started to become increasingly loose.
Song dynasty
During the Song dynasty, the official attire worn by Song court officials was the zh with long, loose and broad sleeves. The colours of the zh were also regulated based on the official's ranks. The zh had a large overlapping region being held down by a broad strip of fabricand a long line which divided the front part of the gown. Kerchief (typically zh), leather belt, and , black hide boots or shoes, would be worn by the court officials as accessories.

Khitan men wore the Khitan-style zh with a belt at their waist and trousers tucked into felt boots. The Khitan-style zh differed from those worn by the Han Chinese in terms of design and construction: the Khitan-style zh had both back and side slits, with the side slits located in the lower region of the robes. The back slits facilitated horse-riding and protected wearers' legs from the cold. Some of them had no slits. The Khitan-style zh also had narrow sleeves, was closed on the left side, and was unadorned.

Ming dynasty
After the establishment of the Ming dynasty, the emperor restored the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties. During the Ming dynasty, the zh and zh were also the most common form of attire for all genders, including officials and nobles. The zh and/or zh were not typically worn alone; a sleeveless vest called zh and an inner robe (either the zh or zh) was commonly worn underneath.
The difference between the zh or zh of the civilians and of the officials and nobles was the addition of a zh (either a mandarin square or roundels rank badge) and the fabric materials used. The clothing of the Ming dynasty was predominantly red, although, there were strict colour regulations depending on the ranks of officials. During an Imperial Funeral, Ming officers wore a grey-blue zh without a Mandarin square, and zh. This set was known as .
The Ming dynasty zh and zh were typically characterized by the "cross-plane structure", with the back and front being bounded by the middle seam of the sleeves. The front and back were symmetrical and the left and right were also largely symmetrical; there is a central line acting as the axis of this symmetry. It has a round collar without a high-standing collar which is secured with a button; it overlaps on the front side and closes at the right side in the zh-style, which follows the traditional zh system. It also has side slits on the right and left side. The sleeves of the zh are mostly in a style called , which means the sleeves are large but curved to form a narrow sleeve cuff, to facilitate movements and be more practical in daily life. Men's zh and zh also have side panels called at the side slits to conceal the undergarments. These side panels are also referred to as "side ears" which are unique to the Ming dynasty's zh; this specific structure reflects the combination of zh and attire of the Mongols, the ethnic minority. The "side ear" also allows for greater ease of movement and can increase the looseness of the robe. File:A mandarin's wife in ceremonial costume. Ming. Colours on silk.

Qing dynasty
During the Qing dynasty, the Manchu rulers enforced the zh policy along with 10 exemptions. Among the exempted people were the Han Chinese women, who were allowed to continue wearing the Ming-style zh, and on-stage theatre performers. While zh was worn in the dominant sphere of society - ritual and official locations, zh continued to be worn in the subordinate societal sphere, such as in women's quarters and theatres.

In Korea, the zh was introduced during the Tang dynasty and became known as the ko (; ). During the rule of Queen Jindeok of Silla, Kim Chunchu personally travelled to the Tang dynasty to request for clothing and belts and voluntarily accepted the official uniform system of the Tang dynasty, which included the ko among many other clothing items. Since then, the ko continued to be worn until the end of Joseon. In the late Goryeo period, under the reign of King U, the ko was adopted as an official ko when the official uniform system of the Ming dynasty was imported.
Wonsam
The initial shape of the ko worn by women from the 15th to 16th century was similar to the ko and included the use of a collar which was similar to the ko-style collar.
Japan
In Japan, the formal court attire for men and women was established by the start of the 8th century and was based on the court attire of the Tang dynasty. The round collared robe called in the , which was worn by the Japanese Emperors, and the noblemen, was adopted from the zh.
According to the Ming dynasty's Government letter against Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Ming Government bestowed on him a set of containing a red zh with zh mandarin square (), a dark blue , and a green .
Vietnam
Áo viên lĩnh
According to the book Weaving a realm by the Vietnam Center, the áo viên lĩnh (襖圓領), a 4-long flap robe with a round neck, was imported to Vietnam from China. However, this fashion gradually faded away from their daily lives due to the clothing reforms decreed by the Nguyen lords.
