Who is the yellow robe related to? How did the yellow robe come from?

Do you know who the hero in yellow robe is? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Bian Xiao will tell you.

The yellow robe is about the anniversary after five generations. After Chai Shao's death, people had little doubts about this country, which coincided with the invasion of Northern Han and Liao. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin, who had mastered the main military forces of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was ordered to lead the army to meet them. When Zhao Kuangyin went to see Chen Qiaoyi, his men dressed Zhao Kuangyin in yellow at night and made Zhao Kuangyin emperor. This is the Chen Qiao mutiny. Later, he used the yellow robe to describe the success of the coup.

When it comes to the color of the emperor's costume in Song Dynasty, it is inevitable to talk about the evolution history of the dragon robe in China feudal society. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period, monarchs of all countries had their own royal robes, which are what we call dragon robes. Are all the colors of the monarch's robes that we see in movies and TV plays yellow? Actually, it's not. According to the Book of Rites, Zhou's son "wears Tsing Yi", which means Zhou's robes are blue. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the costumes of monarchs in different countries were not uniform.

When Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, Qin Chaotian was still black, and "the clothes flag was still black", so Qin Shihuang chose a black robe. However, the Qin Dynasty soon perished. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang continued to use black as the color of his robes. In the subsequent development, in order to show the legitimacy of inheriting the legal system, each dynasty preached its own family virtues, so each dynasty had the theory of five virtues. Dating back to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty inherited fire. In the five elements, the corresponding color of fire is red, so the dragon robe of the Song Dynasty emperor should be red. Where did Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe plus body" come from?

When it comes to yellow robes, it is necessary to talk about the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to Shu, so it is self-evident that yellow robes become emperor robes. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, street novels developed very rapidly. The so-called "novels of Tang poetry, Song poetry, Yuanqu and Ming and Qing dynasties". Therefore, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the legendary novels of Song Taizu and Chen Qiao mutiny appeared in the market. According to the color of the emperor's robes at that time, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin said that "Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added". To sum up, it can be seen that Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe plus body" is actually imagined by later generations.
