What were the costumes of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty?
The clothes of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were based on handkerchiefs in the Han and Wei Dynasties and robes and shirts, also called Fu Tou. After the Tang Dynasty, people added a fixed ornament to the hoe, called "towel". The shape of towels varies from time to time. Besides towels, many changes have taken place in the feet of steamed bread. By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the original soft foot had become a hard foot with one left and one right. Eunuchs in the Tang dynasty mainly wore round neck and narrow sleeves, and their colors had been stipulated: purple was used for all the above three products; More than five products, blushing for color; Six products and seven products are green; Eight products and nine products are cyan. There will be slight changes in the future. In addition, the application of horizontal bow under the robe was also a major feature of men's wear at that time.

Eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, like other officials, were also dressed according to grades, so there were court eunuchs, ladies-in-waiting and other "people dressed by Zhu Zi" (Book of Old Tang Dynasty 184). However, it was not until the Kaiyuan period that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty reused eunuchs, and he was awarded the rank of triple official when he hit it off slightly. However, during the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong customized it, and there were no three officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and four officials were the best. Therefore, "Old Tang Book" said, "By the end of Yongchun, to 70 years, the power is not false in the official, but in the gatekeeper, the yellow clothes are eating."
