I'Ll Show You The Clothing Expenses Of The Qing Dynasty.

Qing Dynasty Officials

The requirements are very detailed.

The materials required by the official uniform are more valuable. The top beads on official hats are also made of valuable materials. For example, there is an eaves around the hood, which should be made of precious leather and expensive for Martens, followed by sea otters and fox again.

In the Qing Dynasty, official clothes were purchased by officials themselves, and even some of the emperors rewarded them.

For example, the Qing emperors often rewarded officials with flower Ling as a reward.

Most of the reward is only granted to them. Hua Ling needs officials to purchase them on their own. The price varies from 10 to two to several hundred.

The yellow gown, which is worn on clothing, is also the reward of some people.

What day do you wear?

It is not the choice of officials themselves, but the order of the court.

"Wang Wen Hao's diary" details his replacement in one year.

The number of times.

In the diary, he entered the palace in the first three months, and changed eleven clothes, which was changed in less than nine days.

Therefore, buying official uniform is an extremely heavy burden for many officials at the beginning.

Many Beijing officials lacking in economic strength have to borrow official uniforms for years.

Li Ciming's diary, Guangxu fifteen, January 1st: "there are many officials in Beijing who can't wear clothes, but Yu is thirty years old."

After the official promotion, the first thing to consider is not to celebrate, but to worry about how to buy official uniform.

In the sixteen years of Guangxu, Li Ciming finally supplemented the Shanxi road to monitor the censor. He sighed, "sixty of the year is two, and the first one is to turn left from five products to strong ones."

Liu Guangdi was originally poor. When he was promoted to the post in the year of Guangxu, he suddenly went to the trouble of "spending too much time and being very difficult". He talked about the hardship in his home book: "the school outside the city is also planning to rent it out with others.

Every few days we have to live in the Summer Palace.

Old mule can't do it, buy a horse again, and add fur, not fox fur; and a mink coat.

In the Qianlong period, Mr. Qian Nan yuan was on duty at the military aircraft department, and he died of cold illness. At the same time, he added more than four hundred or five hundred gold.

Zeng Guofan is known for being frugal.

In his later years, he said in his home book that he was "a good minister, but all clothes were not worth three hundred gold". He repeatedly asked his children to "not make many clothes, but not to set them in a big way."

This leads to various renderings of later generations. For example, his best suit is a blue satin Liriodendron, which is only used in the new year and important celebrations. It is usually placed in the closet, so it took thirty years to be like a new dress.

In fact, Hanlin often need to enter the palace, and the clothes must be decent.

Zeng Guofan is a thrifty person, but he has no ambiguity in his official manner.

In the twenty-nine years of Daoguang, Zeng Guofan wrote to his brothers, "I have been in office for over ten years. Now all the books and clothes in Beijing are two.

Clothes are essential for those who are on duty. Books are my favorite hobbies. Here are two things.

In the future, when I leave the house, all my wife's clothes will be divided equally with the five brothers.

Indeed, after entering the official office, Zeng Guofan's personal belongings are the most valuable clothes.

In the Zeng literature of Xiangxiang, there is a bill about some of the clothes he owned at the beginning of Beijing.

A pair of sesame gauze robes.

A pair of tunic robes, a pair of Robe gowns, a cotton crepe robe, a large leather jacket, a jacket made of Lake crepe leather, a coat of pearls and a small robe, a piece of fur silk tiger robe, a large cotton Liriodendron, a leather robe, a purple coat, a Shen Xiang Robe and a chinchilla gown.

The grade of clothing increased obviously one level before entering Beijing.

only

He has eleven caps, a hat, a big hat, a little hat, a fur cap, etc.

The purchase of these clothes is not cheap, usually between two to ten dozen silver coins.

Ceng Baoci wrote in the diary of Wen Zheng Gong's reading of the late Qing Dynasty: "at that time, the tailoring wages and gowns were about one thousand and five hundred to one thousand and eight hundred pieces per piece, and the material part was two pieces of silk robes, six thousand and five hundred yuan.

With the rise of official positions, Zeng Guofan gradually added a lot of clothes.

Especially in the twenty-three years of Daoguang, Zeng Guofan went to Sichuan to host the country trial, and the clothes he made were included in the documents.

He brought a total of nine boxes, the Qing Dynasty officials dress requirements of the extravagant and visible.
