This short jacket whose sleeves was long enough to reach the elbow, had a round collar and was long enough to reach the navel. Because this kind of jacket was first worn in the horse-riding and horse-shooting and was not only suitable for horse-riding and could keep warm as well, it was called "horse jacket"(mandarin jacket). In the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the mandarin jacket was the "army uniform" for the "Eight Banner" soldiers and later was gradually popular among the common people, which resulted in its usage as a ceremonial dress and its diversity in style and material.

In ancient times, it generally referred to long gowns worn by the people of Manchuria, Mongolia and the Eight-Banner. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), long gowns featured collarless, narrow cuff in the shape of a horse's hoof, buttons down the left front, four slits and a fitting waist. Wearers usually coiled up their cuff, and put it down when hunting or battling to cover the back of hand. In winter, the cuff could serve to prevent cold. The gown had four slits, with one on the left, right, front and back, which reached the knees. It was fitted to the body and rather warm. Fastened with a waistband, the long gown could hold solid food and utensils when people went out hunting. Men's long gowns were mostly blue, gray or green; and women's, white.
