Noble Elegance: The Attire of a Ming Dynasty Lady of Rank

In imperial Ming Dynasty China, a "Gaoming Furen" (诰命夫人)—a titled lady granted honors by the court—was a figure of dignity and authority. Her attire reflected her noble standing, with garments and accessories that clearly distinguished her from commoners. Whether entering the palace or walking among the people, her presence was unmistakable. Here’s a breakdown of her formal ensemble:

👑 Diguān (翟冠) – Pheasant Crown A unique crown reserved for noblewomen below the rank of empress, decorated with “Di” birds—long-tailed pheasants resembling phoenixes. These birds symbolized high status, second only to the phoenix. The number of pheasants and gold ornaments indicated rank:

Dukes’ and top-grade ladies: 5 pearl pheasants + 2 gold pheasants holding pearl tassels

2nd–4th rank: 4 pearl pheasants + 2 gold pheasants

5th–6th rank: 3 pearl pheasants + 2 silver-gilded gold pheasants

7th–9th rank: 2 pearl pheasants + 2 silver-gilded gold pheasants

👘 Xiapèi (霞帔) – Regal Cape Known also as "xiāpī" or "pī bó," this evolved from a shawl-like drape into a vest-like garment by the Qing dynasty. Originally worn by imperial concubines, it became a status symbol for titled women. Embroidered with birds like pheasants, peacocks, or mandarin ducks, the center panel—bǔzi—featured motifs based on the husband’s or son’s official rank. Only military wives or mothers used bird, not beast, patterns.

💎 Zhuìzi (坠子) – Pendant Tassels More than just a way to fix the xiapèi in place, these ornate pendants became a ritualistic emblem of rank. Often crafted from gold, silver, or jade, they took shapes like hearts, circles, hexagons, or horseshoes. Birds and floral motifs dominated, with phoenixes appearing in the tombs of princesses and duchesses. Placement varied—from the lower end of the xiapèi in Song and Yuan, to multiple positions on the garment in the Ming.

🪶 Other Elements:

Yuanlingpao (圆领袍): Round-collar robe worn underneath

Hongdashan (红大衫): A large red outercoat

Gédài (革带): A formal belt

Xiangfu (象笏): An ivory tablet held during court ceremonies

This opulent layering was not just fashion—it was a visual hierarchy of power, virtue, and dynasty-defined identity. Imagine carrying the entire weight of the empire's order and honor on your shoulders… in silk, feathers, and gold.

As a liveblog as always

Finally Zang Hai has arrived to the capital, but I feel like he isn't actually ready yet. He is still this sweet boy, far from the cold and cunning man we have seen in the trailers. I wonder how he goes from this to that.

Poor Zang Hai immediately gets on trouble for not knowing the rules.

And now we get introduced to the female lead. I saw a post on Instagram about the drama calling Zhang Jingyi ugly. Where is the ugly? Maybe some people don't have eyes.

The grand master for glorious happiness? The marquis of Pingjin? Are you kidding me? I hate him.

I love how observant Zang Hai is. He is really showing his intelligence.

Why is Xiang Antu putting Zang Hai, who to her is just a random stranger from out if town watching a play, in danger? And she's enjoying it too. What is she trying to achieve? Okay, I officially don't like her. Actually, I had a thought in the first episode, that maybe the nasty princess who scarred Zhinu at the beginning is actually Xiang Antu. I hope I'm wrong or I might never like her. She needs to work hard to redeem herself. On the other hand Gao Ming is gaining points in my books, I like him more and more every time he's on screen.

So Zang Hai volunteers himself to what is essentially a suicide mission and while everyone else is panicking, he wants a nap. At least he isn't lacking in confidence. And he tried so hard to save everyone just to fail. Poor thing, my heart is aching. 😭And he really believed he could too.

This drama looks really good though. The costumes and sets look fantastic, everything is really aesthetically pleasing. Especially Xiao Zhan.

Criminally cute.
