The dragon robe is a symbol of authority and wealth. Often, the dragon robe worn on the son of heaven should not only be made of first-class materials, but also be made with exquisite craftsmanship. Often, this kind of expensive-looking clothing can show the spirit of the emperor when worn on the body, and it also represents the royal demeanor, representing not only the noble status, but also the power that shocks people's hearts. But for the son of heaven, although this dragon robe brings supreme power and the respect of his subjects, it is also a kind of bondage that is difficult to get rid of.
We know that in ancient times, we were very particular about dressing. Not only ministers had to act in strict accordance with a set of rules, but even emperors could not dress carelessly. The dragon robe itself has a lot of attention. When sewing, there should be nine golden dragons, among which one dragon should be hidden in the skirt, which is also the origin of the name of the dragon robe. In fact, the dragon robe has gradually evolved into a symbol of the son of heaven, because before the Tang Dynasty, the dragon robe style clothes could be worn casually, but it was not allowed to embroider the dragon characters on them. After the Tang dynasty, such clothes, including dragon embroidery, became the patent of the royal family.
Because the dragon robe represents the face of the royal family, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be worried about your life, and even the sewing of the dragon robe may accidentally lose your life. The exquisiteness of the dragon robe is very high, which stems from the hard work of many workers for many years. Many people do it with their heads in their hands, because if there is a big mistake, they may die. Embroidering the corresponding dragon robe is also a high-income job, and the person in charge will do it very carefully and put all his energy into it in the process of embroidery.
However, according to the regulations, it is forbidden to wash the robes of ancient emperors with water, which will create an embarrassing situation, that is, they will stink if worn for a long time. What should I do if they stink? The result is unexpected. Many people think that it is enough to use aromatherapy to block off the odor after it stinks, but in fact, in the royal family, the most important thing is financial resources, so after it stinks, it is not necessary to wash or use aromatherapy, but to replace it directly.
Many people think this is extravagant, but it is precisely the embodiment of the royal family's financial resources. The production cost of a dragon robe is very high, and the price is not low. Maybe a civilian can't buy a few pieces for a lifetime, but the royal family is different and can spend a lot of money on it, which also breaks the conjecture that the number of dragon robes is very small.
Although it is difficult to make, the royal family is willing to invest in it. It takes several years to produce one piece, but if there are many people, many pieces can be produced in one year. During the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 2, people who simply made yellow robes. So many people worked day and night, and naturally they could make dragon robes that could support the emperor to wear constantly. They even wore them once, which was really a waste.
