The official robes in Song Dynasty were divided into dragon robes and embroidered robes. In fact, these two kinds of clothes are easy to distinguish. First of all, we can distinguish claws from dragon horns. There are four claws and five claws, and the dragons worn by the emperor are all ascending dragons, that is, the dragon head is facing up, while the embroidered robe worn by Bao Zheng is descending dragons, with the dragon head facing down. Then the color. The exclusive color of the emperor's clothes is yellow, and all other clothes are yellow. And we usually see Bao Zheng wearing clothes, mostly black, which is the so-called embroidered robe at that time. If Bao Zheng wears the same robe as the emperor, the world will be in chaos.
But sometimes when the emperor is happy, he will reward some meritorious ministers, and some emperors even use their official uniforms as rewards, but this opportunity is very slim. However, the officials who gave the robes can't wear them out, so they can only offer them at home honestly. If you dare to wear it, it will be regarded as a great sin of rebellion.
Not only do you have to think every minute, but you also have to implicate nine families. So we can only say that Bao Zheng is wearing a dragon robe, not a real dragon robe, but a four-claw embroidered robe. Even if I give him ten courage, I dare not show off in public in a dragon robe.
