brief introduction

There are two kinds of "wearing a yellow jacket". One of them was given during the hunting calibration. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, before 186 1 year, the emperor went hunting in Mulan (now 400 miles north of Chengde City, Hebei Province, now Weichang County) for 20 days every autumn.

At this time, when shooting deer, or after hunting, the emperor usually rewarded Mongols with yellow jackets. In addition, when hunting, all Han and Manchu officials who often check and shoot (archery competitions) must participate. Those who shoot five arrows (three arrows are stipulated by Han officials) and have a higher rank can generally get a royal yellow jacket.

In addition, according to the records in Biography of the Qing Dynasty, those who have been rewarded many times can also get the imperial yellow jacket at this time.

The yellow jacket won by the hunting school shooting belongs to the line jacket. Like the yellow jacket obtained during the competition, it is generally only allowed to be worn on the line or during the competition, and it is not allowed to be worn at ordinary times. Offenders will be punished as the crime of coveting imperial power.

There is also a real "appreciation in yellow jacket", which is mainly used to reward senior military commanders who have made great achievements, and sometimes to civilian officials in charge of the whole army. No matter what you get, you can wear it at any moment you think is solemn.

But generally speaking, Daoguang rarely saw this kind of military clothes before, but after Cixi came to power, there were more gangs. According to Jiang's "Donghua Record", when Jiaqing celebrated in February in the tenth year and cited the imperial edict of Qianlong in April in the forty-first year, there was no mention of the yellow jacket in the form of reward. Therefore, this yellow jacket should be popular in Xianfeng in the future.
