Then whenever the emperor wants to appear, the most representative is his golden robe, shining and dazzling! So at this time, many people are very curious, does the emperor's dragon robe need to be cleaned?
The dragon robe is a symbol of imperial power and the robe worn by the emperor when he was in the dynasty, and the emperors of China have different styles of dragon robes. This is mainly due to differences caused by different dynasties and cultures. According to historical records, the emperor's dragon robe is generally embroidered with 9 golden dragons. They are on the chest, one on the back, one on the left and right shoulders, and two on the front and back knees. The last strip is embroidered inside the placket, representing the dignity of the emperor's status. It seems that the emperor's dragon robe process is really quite complicated.
The production process of the dragon robe is also very exquisite, generally it takes a long time to make a dragon robe, not only to choose the best materials, but also to sew by hand. The dragon robe is not only sewn with patterns, but also inlaid with some pearls, gold threads, etc., which are added little by little after the dragon robe is sewn. Therefore, the dragon robe is actually a very valuable craft, it is destined not to be washed from birth; and in ancient times, there was no electric iron, because in order to ensure the neatness of the dragon robe, it could not be washed.
So if the dragon robe is not washed, how can the emperor bear it?
In fact, everyone has been led into the misunderstanding by the TV series, first, the dragon robe is not worn on the emperor every day, and it is usually worn when there is a major meeting to attend. Just like some important occasions such as enthroning the throne, celebrating birthdays, and marrying the prince. After wearing it, there will also be a special person to store it, and the dragon robe will be carefully taken care of on a regular basis. Like a big occasion for a long time will not be worn several times, naturally will not be dirty to anywhere. Secondly, the emperor had a lot of clothes throughout the year. When he met with ministers or spent time with concubines, he wore his usual clothes. Although those clothes are also more precious, they are not worse than the dragon robes.
Therefore, in order to ensure the cleanliness and neatness of the dragon robe, when the emperor did not wear the dragon robe, there were special people who took care of the dragon robe to prevent it from becoming dirty and wrinkled. And an emperor has more than one set of dragon robes in his life, and when he does not fit, he will make a new one, but there is not much, but these do not need the emperor to worry about, there will be someone to solve these problems for them.
