Many generals with outstanding military achievements were appointed as followers, but their actual positions were often below the third and fourth grades. In the Tang Dynasty, the official system was purple robes with three or more products, wearing goldfish bags; More than five robes, wearing a whitebait bag; Green robe under six grades, no fish bag. Officials with high positions and low ranks still wear the original products.
