Robes are for the exclusive use of kings. Why does Bao Zheng wear them to work on weekdays?

From the time of Confucius, he began to abide by the etiquette system. If Lord Bao really wears a dragon robe, I'm afraid he will be beheaded. In Song Dynasty, there were two kinds of patterns: dragon robe and embroidered robe, and there were differences between them. That's Bao Gong's embroidered robe.

In fact, at that time, besides the emperor, even actors could wear dragon robes, but there were also very strict rules on clothing. If you don't dress according to the rules, you are likely to die. Mr. Bao has always been deeply loved by people. He is upright and upright, and his image of justice for democracy has left a deep impression on people. Therefore, as such a reasonable official, it is impossible for him to really challenge the imperial power.

Then let's talk about the difference between these two modes and how to distinguish them. First of all, these two patterns can be distinguished on the dragon's paw. Four claws are embroidered robes, and five claws are dragon robes. But also can be clearly distinguished from the color. Yellow is exclusive to the emperor. We usually see that the clothes in the bag are basically black. If the clothes wrapped are really no different from the yellow robe, then the whole country will really be in chaos.

But it does not rule out that when the emperor is happy, he will give his yellow robe to a minister who has made contributions. However, this situation is really rare and basically does not exist. Even if there were exceptions, whoever the emperor gave the yellow robe to, he wouldn't really wear it. Not only can't you wear it aboveboard, you can't wear it at home, you have to give it up. If one day someone finds this man swaggering in a dragon robe, it may be his family who will suffer.

So, to sum up, Bao Zheng is wearing an embroidered robe instead of a dragon robe. He and the dragon robe are just a little similar in design.
