Qing official headwear

Headwear of officials during the Qing dynasty of China

The Qing official headwear or Qingdai guanmao, also referred as the Official hats of the Qing dynasty or Mandarin hat in English, is a generic term which refers to the types of guanmao, a headgear, worn by the officials of the Qing dynasty in China. The Qing official headwear typically forms of part of the qizhuang system as opposed to the hanfu system and were completely different from the types of guanmao used in the previous dynasties. There were various forms of the Qing official headwear, and some were designed to be worn based on the winter or summer seasons; while others used varieties of decorations and adornment, such as the use of peacock feathers which could vary between one and three peacock eyes; these peacock feathers were bestowed by the Emperor to his officials who had accomplished meritorious services and the greatest number of peacock eyes represents the highest honour bestowed.
