Implication and symbol of egret

In ancient times, egrets symbolized freedom, nobility and purity.

Just like Du Fu's quatrains in the Tang Dynasty, "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky." Two orioles are singing in the air, and a row of egrets are flying in the sky. Egrets that can fly to the sky are free, white-haired egrets are pure, and long-necked unyielding egrets are noble.

Moreover, when the egrets fly, it is orderly and not chaotic. In the old days, the heron steps contained the Baiguan class, supplemented by the official uniforms of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
