In addition to their gorgeous appearance, these costumes also have rich symbolic meanings.

For example, yellow represents imperial power and nobility, red symbolizes joy and auspiciousness, and blue represents loyalty and wisdom.

Moreover, the embroidery crafts on these costumes are also a highlight, such as brocade embroidery, gold thread embroidery, pearl embroidery, etc.

Therefore, many women would carefully select and wear these costumes to show their beauty and talent.
