Mandarin squares were sewn onto the front and back of traditional Chinese robes, known as "changshan" or "pao," just below the shoulder area. These badges were an important aspect of traditional Chinese clothing, as they not only signified a person's rank and position but also showcased their family's heritage, achievements, and connections within the imperial bureaucracy.

The peacock was often depicted with its colorful and elaborate tail feathers spread out, creating a visually striking image. The colors and details of the peacock and the background of the badge could vary depending on the wearer's rank and the specific regulations of the time.
