The rank patches of the Ming and Qing dynasties

 

The pattern for the third-rank officials was a peacock, because in ancient people’s opinion, the peacock was a virtuous bird representing auspiciousness and wealth.

The pattern for the fourth-rank officials was a wild goose. Since they would line up in flight, wild geese implied the order of feudal hierarchy, suggesting inferior officials had to respect and obey their superiors.

The pattern for fifth-rank officials was a silver pheasant, an auspicious and loyal bird since ancient times. As the legend went, Emperor Zhao Bing of the Song Dynasty once raised a silver pheasant. When the emperor committed suicide by casting himself into the sea, the loyal bird followed to death. Moved by this silver pheasant, people called it a royal bird and regarded it as a symbol of royalty and auspiciousness.

The pattern for sixth-rank officials was aigrette, a water fowl.

The pattern for seventh-rank officials was mandarin ducks always depicted in a pair. It is said that if they were separated, the ducks would pine for each other and die of loneliness. For this reason, mandarin ducks were used to show officials loyalty to the emperor.

The pattern for eighth-rank officials was a partridge. Because the Chinese pronunciation of partridge (An Chun) was similar to the Chinese phrase “Ping An”,meaning safety,officials used auspicious partridge as their rank patches.

The pattern for ninth-rank officials was a long-tailed flycatcher, symbolizing power and wealth.
