These nine diagrams emphasize the difference of complements, which can be said to capture the essence. Because these pictures were all written by Zhou Peichun, a Beijing folk painter in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhou Peichun, as a witness of that era, was able to eloquently and meticulously draw the imperial clothes of different grades of civil officials.
