During the Ming & Qing dynasties, high-ranking Chinese officials didn’t need printed calling cards. They displayed their status with vibrant colors, gold threads, & animal patterns embroidered onto the surcoat. Different animals & birds were associated with different ranks & offices, & the pattern on an official’s surcoat would indicate his position within the government hierarchy. These antique insignia, also known as surcoats, were highly prized by the imperial officials & their families, & were passed down as family heirlooms. Nowadays, they are highly sought-after by collectors of Chinese antiques & are considered valuable works of art. They are also a fascinating insight into the complex social hierarchy of Imperial China, & the role that clothing played in expressing status & power.
