Armor, also known as “armor”, is the protective clothing used by generals and soldiers in ancient times to protect themselves. According to historical records, in order to urge the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to train their skills of riding and archery, and enhance their combat effectiveness, the Qing Dynasty emperors took the lead in reviewing the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners in armor for many times, and wrote a number of imperial poems praising the officers and soldiers “the pixiu and the armor are all excellent, and the flag reflects the water and turns the red tassel”.
