Actually, I think all Chinese girls are beautiful. They are not like sexy and cute, they are different from other nations. They are elegant and classic, because they learn the thousands years of history of China. The cultural background and the knowledge is the most beautiful part of Chinese girls.
I was wondering which rank wore this but down in the comments smn said it was ment for 2nd rank titled women so I can only imagine what the imperial women wore. Hope there's more of similar videos in the future
Mingfu (simplified Chinese: 命妇; traditional Chinese: 命婦; pinyin: mìngfù; lit. "noblewoman", "court lady") was granted to wives of officials, non-imperial aristocrats and collateral clanswomen. Also, mothers of imperial consorts were granted a title of mingfu according to the rank held by her daughter as well as sisters of imperial consorts. A title was granted to nursemaids of emperors and attendants of imperial consorts. Noblewomen were divided into 7 ranks according to the rank of her husband and her daughter, if her daughter was an imperial consort. If the title held by mingfus' husbands was divided into subclasses, they could be treated equally. In shorts, a 2nd rank Mingfu must be either the wife of a minister(or a high level general equivalent as a minister) or mother of an imperial concubine. It could be awarded to the wife or the mother of a general who is died in battlefield and became a martyr.
In ancient times, the opportunity to worship the emperor was very precious and rare. Usually the minister would bring a long board to record the work content to be reported, but he could not read the book notes in front of the emperor. This is not a ceremonial action. It happened that when the board bowed with both hands, he could see the notes on it, which was elegant and in line with noble etiquette. Being able to have such a board is a symbol of status, which means that you are qualified to see the emperor.
