Watching TV plays in the Qing Dynasty, we will always find a particularly interesting phenomenon, that is, the officials in the Qing Dynasty have different ranks, and the hats they wear are different, and the difference is very obvious, even the flower feathers that match the hats have become different.

So many people are curious about this. On the one hand, they want to know how to distinguish these top flowers, on the other hand, they want to know how valuable the top bead is. With these questions, today I will tell you something about an honest official wearing Hualing.

Different grades correspond to different high hats.

At first, the high hat was the emperor's reward for some meritorious ministers, and later it gradually evolved into a symbol of official rank. When we look at history of qing dynasty, we will find red-topped businessmen. For example, when Hu Xueyan got the red top from Cixi, she began to be all-powerful, which is enough to show that the status of the red top in the top hat is very high.

In fact, there are two kinds of high hats in Qing Dynasty, one is cool hat and the other is warm hat. Among them, cool hat is relatively simple, with no brim and trumpet shape. There is a red tassel on the top of the hat, and the color of the hat is mostly white. Lake color and yellow are also very popular.

Compared with cool hat, warm hat is much more complicated, and it was also the mainstream hat used by officialdom officials at that time. Therefore, the top hat of the warm hat is matched with the thimble according to the rank of the official. The top beads with different grades are different. As for the specific matching criteria, I will tell you in detail.

Officials in the Qing Dynasty were divided according to the "Nine Grades and Eighteen Grades", plus super products and dirty products (belonging to the Nine Grades). Because super products and dirty products do not belong to the permanent official rank, we will not study them, but mainly study the top hats of officials between Grade 1 and Grade 9.

There is no doubt that it is natural for Yipin officials to decorate the crown beads with the most precious raw materials. Therefore, generally speaking, the first-class officials in the Qing Dynasty used rubies as their crown beads. In fact, rubies are used in more than one product, such as Prince and Viscount who are super products.

As a natural ornament whose value is second only to that of diamonds, ruby is also quite expensive. Today, we will still find many luxury jewels made of rubies, which is enough to show that this kind of ruby is expensive. In addition, the size of the crown beads worn by Qing officials is still relatively large, and it goes without saying that their value is quite expensive. You can go to the jewelry store to know and compare.

The raw material used in the second-grade Guanguanzhu is coral, and its color is mostly red, brilliant red is the most precious, followed by light red, which generally grows at the bottom of the sea100-2000m. Such raw materials are hard to get, and their value is second only to rubies.

Sapphire is used for the crown beads of officials with three grades. There are more sapphires than rubies, so it is not difficult to find them. In addition, in many dynasties in history, the crown beads of official hats were distinguished by red, so the use value of natural sapphire in wearing hats was lower than that of ruby.

Lapis lazuli is used for four official crown beads. This raw material was introduced into China from the Afghan region through the Great Silk Road. Its colors are dark blue, purple blue, sky blue and cyan. Among them, the crown bead is generally dark blue. Of course, the value of this raw material is also very high, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

The raw material of Wupin Guandingzhu is crystal, which is still very popular even today. However, due to its large storage capacity in nature, it is less difficult to process. Although the shape and texture are similar to diamonds, the hardness and luster are much worse than diamonds. In addition, the processing of diamonds is quite difficult, so crystal stones are often used to replace the functions similar to diamonds.

The raw material of Liupin Guandingzhu is Trionyx sinensis, which belongs to a kind of bivalve shellfish in the ocean and is called "the king of shellfish". Its shell has a delicate luster and looks very dazzling, so it is used to fix beads, which also means to bless peace.

The raw material of Qipin officials' crown jewels is pure gold, that is, crown jewels without any modification. Presumably, there is no concept about the value of the crown jewels of officials with more than seven products, so we can compare the crown jewels of officials with seven products and understand that even if the seven products are made of gold, the value of the crown jewels of officials with more than seven products is needless to say.

The officials of Bapin and Jiupin used golden eagles, that is, they got some patterns on the golden dome. Although the raw materials of Bapin Jiupin and Qipin Dingzhu are all gold, the only difference is that Bapin and Jiupin are patterned, while Qipin is pure gold without patterns.

The above are the raw materials and related values of crown beads of officials of different grades in Qing Dynasty. From the collocation of these crown jewels, we will find that the classification of official positions and the distinction between clothing and other things in the Qing Dynasty are indeed quite strict.

Hualing corresponds to different official ranks.

Compared with Ding Zhu, Hualing is actually much simpler and less obvious than Ding Zhu. In Qing Dynasty, Hualing was mainly distinguished according to the number of eyes. The more eyes there are, the greater the rank of officials, which is generally divided into three types: one eye, two eyes and three eyes. Three eyes represent the highest-ranking officials, followed by two eyes and one eye.

To sum up, the division of official ranks in the Qing Dynasty is very clear. Officials of different ranks have different clothes and powers, and their salaries are also very different. Even wearing extremely detailed things such as flowers and feathers was noticed. If the Qing government at that time could spend these thoughts on studying how to make the country develop, I think the Qing dynasty would not be so humiliated and be beaten behind forever!
