What about the color of the emperor's clothes? There are yellow and black ones

From Zhou to Ming, the emperor's dress is a black corolla. Although the crowns from the Qin Dynasty to the early Western Han Dynasty were all black and had no heraldic arms, later dynasties liked to change the arrangement of the twelve heraldic arms to show more respect for the rites of Zhou than previous dynasties, but they remained basically unchanged, as did the general line of following the rites of Zhou.

The Qin Dynasty is the water virtue, the Han Dynasty is the fire virtue, the Tang Dynasty is the earth virtue, and the Song Dynasty is the fire virtue. Shuide is still black, Huode is still red, Tude is still yellow, but Huode's red is not popular China red, but dark red, and Tude's yellow is not bright yellow, but a little red and a little dark vermilion.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty still wears a twelve-armed crown with a black background as the official costume of the court and sacrifice, but he usually wears a scarlet uniform. In the early Tang Dynasty, ordinary Chen Ming could also wear bright yellow clothes, but not cinnabar. Later, all yellow clothes were banned because bright yellow and vermilion were too easily confused.

The sound of "Ming" is connected with "ghost", and bright yellow clothes are usually used as funerary objects, that is, the shroud of the emperor.

Both the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were fire virtues, especially the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu, who valued red. The emperor's uniforms were mostly red, and there were yellow in daily life, but it was not bright yellow. The bright yellow uniforms in the existing portraits of Ming emperors are because most of those portraits are mourning portraits. Huang Chengcheng's golden crown is made of pure gold, which can only be found in the emperor's grave.

Bright yellow is the most important thing. Only the emperors of the Qing Dynasty wore bright yellow clothes that were originally worn by the dead. Traditional opera art has undergone some changes because of the cultural fault of costumes in Qing Dynasty, while modern film and television dramas are just full-screen shroud.
