During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was common practice for high-ranking Chinese officials to use embroidered insignia, known as "rank badges," to display their status and rank. These rank badges were typically made of silk and were embroidered with vibrant colors, gold threads, and intricate animal or bird patterns.

The particular animal or bird depicted on the rank badge indicated the official's rank, with certain animals being reserved for higher-ranking officials. For example, a dragon symbolized the emperor, a phoenix symbolized the empress, and a crane symbolized a high-ranking government official.
