What is the top-wearing hualing in Qing Dynasty? How expensive are the three-eyed feathers?

While watching TV, I want to know if any friends are curious about the feathers behind the official hat. In fact, it is the legendary top-piercing hualing, which is made of feathers. There are three layers, and the highest layer is called Three Eyes Hualing.

Top piercing Hualing can be divided into two parts: top piercing and Hualing. Top hat refers to the hat body worn by Qing officials, and Hua Ling is a feather ornament inserted behind the hat. In Qing dynasty, there were cool hats and warm hats, and hualing can also be divided into blue hats and hualing.

There is a lot of stress about wearing hualing. There will be thimbles on it, and different grades of thimbles have different materials. The materials of the first to ninth grade beads are ruby, coral, glass beads, lapis lazuli glass beads, white glass, enameled white nie glass, plain gold, initial gold and carved gold.

Feathers on the top-wearing hualing are generally made of peacock feathers, which are also divided into three levels, namely, one eye, two eyes and three eyes, and the most distinguished one is three eyes. Then what do you mean? Eyes? Hey? In fact, it is the black circular pattern on peacock feathers, so it is called hualing. It is worth mentioning that the feathers on the blue feathers are made of stork hair. This feather has no black round eyes, so it is called blue feather.

Let's talk about the three levels of hualing. A glimpse of Hualing is usually given to officials or generals with more than five products, and almost only people with yellow, yellow and white flags have the opportunity to get it; Two-eyed hualing is generally given to the imperial clan of the Qing dynasty; Then the reward level of Three-Eye Hualing is even higher, and generally only the royal direct line has the opportunity to get it.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, because the national treasury was very poor, it was suggested that as long as civilians donated a certain amount of money, they could get a glimpse of Hualing. Buy and sell officials? Scandal.

There are exceptions to the winner of Three-Eye Hualing. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, seven people got three-eyed Hua Ling. All the others are royal aristocrats, only one is Chen Han, a famous figure in the late Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi cared about his contribution to the Qing court, so she gave him a three-eyed feather.
