Manchu mandarin jacket

Mandarin jacket, a favorite dress of Manchu people, has the reputation of "robe mandarin jacket" by wearing mandarin jacket outside robes. Mandarin jackets are divided into various forms, such as big lapels, double lapels and pipa lapels. Mandarin jacket is a kind of jacket worn by Manchu when riding and shooting, and later it becomes a daily garment that covers the robe. High-necked double-breasted, four-sided open, waist-length, slightly shorter sleeves, robe sleeves can be exposed for three or four inches, and robe sleeves are rolled on the jacket sleeves, which is the so-called big small sleeve. Miao Runlong, a Manchu poet in Shenyang in the Qing Dynasty, described it as: "The long sleeve gown is called genre, and it is clever to put the fashion on the dressing table. Who knows that the lotus boat is low and the skirt is hit." It can be seen that Manchu roll sleeve clothing was extremely fashionable at that time. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, wearing mandarin jackets was limited to soldiers of the Eight Banners. By the time of Kang Yong, the custom of wearing mandarin jackets for Manchu men had prevailed, and young people liked mandarin jackets to show their military courage. Later, because the Qing emperor advocated riding and shooting, he often rewarded his officials with mandarin jackets, which turned out to be a kind of "dress". It was also a great honor for the emperor to give "yellow jacket".
