Xiapei (Chinese: 霞帔; lit. 'Rosy cloud scarf'), also known as hapi (Korean: 하피; Hanja: 霞帔) in Korea,[1] is a type of Chinese clothing accessory in either the form of a long scarf, a neckband, or in the shape of waistcoat depending on the time period.[2][3] It was also referred as xiapeizhui (Chinese: 霞帔坠) when it was ornamented with a peizhui (Chinese: 帔坠; pinyin: pèizhuì; lit. 'pendant') at its front end; the peizhui ornament could be made of diverse materials, such as silver, jade, and gold.[4]
The xiapei appeared as early as the Qin dynasty and continues to be worn until now (although the shape of the xiapei evolved with time).[2] Since the Song dynasty, peizhui started to be used to ornate the xiapei.[5] In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the xiapei, along with the fengguan, became the daily clothing of queens and the formal clothing of the wives of senior officials.[2] The xiapei eventually became part of the traditional Chinese wedding attire for commoners.[2] The xiapei was also introduced and worn in the late Goryeo and Joseon where it was called hapi; it was bestowed by the Ming dynasty along with the jeokui and many other garment items.[1][6]
