Why are the imperial robes of the emperor all golden, while those of Qin Shihuang are black?

We watched a lot of ancient TV dramas, so when it comes to the emperor's court clothes, in everyone's impression, the emperor's court clothes are all golden yellow, which symbolizes the noble status. Ordinary people can't wear golden yellow clothes. Golden yellow is the emperor's exclusive color.

But I wonder if you found it? In fact, it was not the emperor of any dynasty. All dressed in golden robes. For example, Qin Shihuang, who is very familiar to everyone, wore a black robe instead of a gold robe. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, this kind of black is a very common color for everyone. It is not as noble as golden yellow, nor as festive as red. It is a common color, and it is also a favorite color of people. Then why is Qin Shihuang's royal dress black?

Qin Shihuang's reign was not too long, but he made many contributions in history, and he called himself me. Why did he choose black as the color of his robe? These reasons are not complicated.

Qin Shihuang's rule was short and long. At that time, the clothing system had just been established and there was no complete plan. In terms of clothing, Qin Shihuang only asked for a unified color.

At that time, Qin Shihuang was deeply influenced by the theory of yin and yang and five elements at that time, and thought that Qin Zhouke was like water and fire. At that time, the State of Qin was able to defeat the Zhou Dynasty because of the relationship between water and morality, so in terms of color, Qin Shihuang advocated black very much. In his eyes, black is the most precious color, so his robes are made of very noble black, not other colors.
