Wiki

The Qing Dynasty ceremonial hat, known as "Jifu Guan", was an essential part of the official attire worn by court officials during important ceremonies and events. This hat was typically black and adorned with a distinctive plume made from peacock feathers, known as "hualing(花翎)". The number of "eyes" on the peacock feathers indicated the rank of the official, with single-eyed, double-eyed, and triple-eyed plumes representing different levels of prestige.

The hat was topped with a knob made of different materials to signify the official's rank, which also known as "Pin".
