Tiēlǐ (贴里)

The tieli is a crossed-collar men’s robe with a pleated skirt worn in the Yuan Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty. An exclusive form of ceremonial tieli were known as cìfú (赐服). Cifu were decorated with 4-clawed dragon-like creatures and could be broken down into categories: mǎngfú (蟒服, python robe); fēiyúfú (飞鱼服, flying fish robe); dòuniúfú (斗牛服, fighting bull robe); and qílínfú (麒麟服, qilin robe).
