The yellow jacket only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Mandarin jacket was originally a characteristic costume of Manchu. After Manchu gained the world, mandarin jacket became the costume of important occasions, representing the identity of Manchu people. Therefore, the yellow jacket became an honor given to the courtiers by the emperor.

In fact, the yellow jacket itself does not have any privileges. It is a joke that many courtiers in modern film and television dramas can be exempted from punishment if they have yellow jackets.

However, the yellow jacket is not Chinese cabbage, and it is not something that anyone can get casually. It is pleasing to the eye of the emperor. Being able to get a yellow jacket represents the emperor's esteem or love. This is not only an honor, but also a symbol of status in North Korea.

Although the ancient emperors had supreme power, they also needed to win over some important ministers. Therefore, we will reward the courtiers at some suitable opportunities. For example, reward official titles, gold and silver jewelry, jade agate, yellow jacket and so on. The yellow jacket is just a dress, which is worthless in itself, but because it is yellow like the emperor's yellow robe and given by the emperor, it becomes very precious.

In fact, there are two kinds of rewards for yellow jackets, one is to reward yellow jackets, and the other is to reward wearing yellow jackets. The first kind of reward for the yellow jacket is that the yellow jacket is given to the minister, but he can't wear it. The priest who won the prize took the yellow jacket home and offered it. The second kind of reward is to wear a yellow jacket, which means that the rewarded minister can sacrifice or wear a yellow jacket.

There is no standard for the reward of yellow jacket. Both civil servants and military attache can be rewarded, which is generally decided by the emperor according to the performance of his courtiers and his own mood.

During the Qianlong period, Xiao Shenyang was the toast of the emperor and was rewarded by the emperor many times, with more than 20 yellow jackets. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get one, but Xiao Shenyang can change one every day for a month, which shows that he is very happy with adults.

Although Xiao Shenyang was awarded more than 20 yellow jackets, it did not increase his right to overstep his authority. After Jiaqing, even Shenyang, which had a yellow jacket, was robbed and put to death, so so many yellow jackets were not as good as an iron coupon for Dan Shu.
