The Qing Dynasty's canonical system stipulates that the Eastern Zhu Dynasty pearls can only be worn by the emperor and the empress dowager when the emperor holds a grand ceremony in the palace.
The Qing Dynasty attached great importance to Dongzhu, a freshwater pearl produced in the lower reaches of the Songhua River and its tributaries in northeast China. It also stipulates that only the palace can be used at its disposal, and the princes and ministers are not allowed to use it at will. Its large, rounded ones are adorned with crowns or beads, and the aliens are used for inlays.
It is recorded that this pearl was very valuable during the Northern Song Dynasty.
