Is there any difference in the headdress (flag head) of concubines in Qing Dynasty?
The statement of the flag head is not accurate. In the early Qing Dynasty, from Huang Taiji to Kangxi, Manchu women's hair was mostly pulled on their heads. It was also at this time that two heads just emerged. Most of them are combed on festive occasions, and more real hair is used, not high. A high-ranking aristocratic woman will wear a hairpin. Something like a net hat, with jewelry on the lantern. In the middle period, the two higher heads began to rise. In film and television dramas, that kind of flag was invented only during the Cixi period. Empresses usually dress like ordinary people, wearing dragon dresses, hats and rosaries at major festivals and ceremonies. The difference of identity is mainly the color of clothes, the number and material of beads, and the decorative jewelry on the hat.
