Dragon patterns were added to the emperor's clothes, which was a etiquette system that began to form in the Ming Dynasty. The dragon pattern became a special symbol of the emperor. This kind of imperial dress embroidered with dragons was most commonly worn by Ming emperors, and was formally formulated by Ming Taizu in Hongwu for three years.

In addition to the yellow robe with round neck and narrow sleeves woven with gold plate and dragon pattern, there are several components such as upturned scarf, jade belt and leather boots.
