What do you mean there is a crane on the clothes?

People regard cranes as symbols of high officials. A portrait of Ji Xiangwen, standing on the rock of the tide, symbolizes "one product at a time" like the Prime Minister; The design of crane flying in the clouds symbolizes "one product rises high"; The picture of cranes flying at sunrise symbolizes "the rising of the sun".

According to the regulations in the Qing Canon, the designs of civil servants should be embroidered with birds, and the designs of military officers should be embroidered with animals. For example, civil servants embroider a crane with a pattern, two official embroideries with golden pheasants, three official embroideries with peacocks and four official embroideries with clouds and smoke. The military attache is Kirin, lion, leopard and embroidered tiger, which makes people know his official position at a glance.

In ancient times, the clothes of Yipin officials were woven with cranes, and the auspicious patterns of rocks in ebb and flow were called "Yipin should be in the tide". In modern times, people still weave, dye and embroider crane patterns on fabrics to express their wishes and yearning for a better life.
