  2. This only mend for High Ranking Officers.

    Heavenly Master was being appointed by Emperors, so they can wear such Robes.

    If you notice, the Color of the Robe is Purple too. Purple is known as the Royal Color, only Appointed Sects can wear that.

  4. This Robe shall be in Late Ming Dynasty or somewhere early Qing.

    But from what I know, during Qing, ALL Chinese had to wear Robes that dont really have the image of Ming or Han.. so... :P
