Dress Culture: The Top And The Flower Of The Official Hat Of The Qing Dynasty

Before the Qing Dynasty, the official hat was our common black cap.

The gauze cap is a hat made of black gauze. It is a kind of cap commonly used by the public.

When the emperor first came from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all officials who worked in the palace wore a hat called "black gauze".

In the Southern Song Dynasty, this kind of cap began to be popularized, and it became a kind of cap that people often wear.

It became popular in the Tang Dynasty when it began to become part of official uniform.

When song Tai took the throne, the courtiers exchanged orders with each other for the purpose of avoiding the deliberation, and ordered a winged pair on both sides of the wable cap. As long as someone's head moved, the soft wings would tremble.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official name of the cap was that the people could no longer wear it.

For example, "Ming Shi Yu Zhi Zhi three" uploaded: "Wen Wu Guan."

In the three years of Hongwu, he was always dressed as a public uniform, with his hat, Regiment Collar and belt.

Uto became the title of official post.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperors changed their crown to serve the country because of their different nationalities.

In the Manchu costume, the official hat is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The hat is replaced by the hat, and a bunch of flower Ling is called after the cap.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were two types of official hats, namely, the imperial crown of the Shang Dynasty and the imperial clothing crown, which was usually worn.

The official rank of Qing Dynasty is distinguished from the color and texture of the top of the hat. It is called "top wear", and it can also be used as the top belt, the top and the top bead, which means the ornaments on the top of the official hat cap.

The dome is divided into three layers, the top is pointed gemstone, the middle is the ball type jewelry, the next is the metal base, and the jewellery crown has only two parts: the ball type jewelry and the metal base.

In the Qing Dynasty officials, the feather ornaments used to distinguish the ranks were two kinds of "flower Ling" and "blue Ling", also known as "Ling Zi".

Hua Ling is made of peacock hair, commonly known as peacock feathers.

In the Qing Dynasty, the "whistling Pavilion continued." Hua Ling Lan Ling custom-made uploaded: "Whoever leads the guard, the camp, the forwards, the firearms, and the Luoyi Wei are more than five, and all of them are crowning peacock flowers, and the six below are Guan Dai Yu Yu Ling Ling.

Therefore, Lan Ling is a Guard officer who gives six items below and is in charge of the Royal Palace and royal residence, and can also be awarded to the low ranking meritorious officials.

But later they were given the money to pay for it.

There are eye circles on peacock feathers, and a circle can be counted. Therefore, the flowers are divided into one eye, two eyes, three eyes, and the three eye is the most honorable.

Therefore, Hua Ling mainly distinguished the rank of officials by the number of feathers.

For example, "Qing Gong Dian, ritual ministry four. Crown clothing" uploaded: "peacock feathers, Ling Ling three circles," Bei Zi Dai.

The two circle writers are Zhen Guo Gong, Fu Guo Gong and he Shu Jun.

A circle of writers, ministers, one or two, three or four and other guards, forwards, guards, commanding officers, strikers and guards, all the Wangfu Long Shi, San Chai Lang, first class guards are required to wear them.

The root of the plume is blue.

Hua Ling was originally a crown decorated by the Qing emperors to meritorious ministers or aristocrats, representing glory and rank.

Hua Ling has the function of showing the rank and rank of the official rank and rewarding the meritorious service, so its regulations are strict and must not be worn at will.

If there is a good person to wear, he will be sent to the Ministry of justice for a severe punishment. If he is punished to remove Hua Ling, he will be relieved of all his duties.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the extension of the reward range of Hua Ling, it would not be as honorable as before.

Later, after the first Opium War, the State Treasury was empty and donated extensively.
