According to legend, the style of dragon and phoenix coat originated from the traditional costumes of the royal family and Manchu in the late Qing Dynasty. Dragon and phoenix coat embroidery is gorgeous, elegant and luxurious. The embroidery skills of the early dragon and phoenix robes in the three northeastern provinces are the most famous.
