Li’s Joseon was deeply influenced by the culture of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. In the early days, the women’s clothing belt was on the right side, which was smaller and shorter. Later, it was moved to the middle position and thickened and lengthened. At the same time, the men’s clothing was basically on the right side.
