I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and to better understand parts of it, I translated sections that I found challenging. I also made notes (written in English) along the way to help deepen my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m thrilled to share these notes with you! I aim to help us all gain a deeper appreciation for the elegance and historical significance of traditional Chinese attire, which is so rich in history and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>All the information in these notes comes from the book \u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300b.<\/p>\n<p>This is for non-commercial purposes only.

After the Sui dynasty was established, Li Chong held the position of Shangzhuguo (a high-ranking government official) and continued in this role until the third year of the Kaihuang era (583), when he was killed in battle, sacrificing his life for the country. Li Chong&#8217;s son, Li Min (\u674e\u654f ; L\u01d0 M\u01d0n), was later adopted by Emperor Wen of the Sui, Yang Jian, and raised in the imperial palace.<\/p>\n<p>On her mother\u2019s side, her maternal grandmother, Yang Lihua (\u6768\u4e3d\u534e ; Y\u00e1ng L\u00echu\u00e1), was the eldest daughter of Yang Jian (\u6768\u575a ; Y\u00e1ng Ji\u0101n), a high-ranking official of the Northern Zhou dynasty, and the Dugu family (\u72ec\u5b64\u6c0f ; D\u00fag\u016b sh\u00ec). Yang Lihua married Prince Yuwen Yun (\u5b87\u6587\u8d5f ; Y\u01d4w\u00e9n Y\u016bn), the crown prince of the Northern Zhou dynasty. Later, Yuwen Yun ascended the throne as Emperor Xuan of Zhou, and Yang Lihua became Empress. After Emperor Xuan\u2019s premature death, Yang Lihua, still only twenty years old, was honored as the Dowager Empress. Shortly thereafter, Yang Jian declared himself emperor and renamed the country Sui. Yang Lihua then took the title of Princess Leping (\u4e50\u5e73\u516c\u4e3b ; L\u00e8 P\u00edng G\u014dngzh\u01d4).<\/p>\n<p>Yang Lihua and Emperor Xuan had only one daughter, Yuwen Eying (\u5b87\u6587\u5a25\u82f1 ; Y\u01d4w\u00e9n \u00c9y\u012bng). In the early Kaihuang era, Yang Lihua personally chose a match for her beloved daughter. At the time, many handsome young nobles gathered at the palace to be selected, but it was Li Min\u2014handsome, skilled at horseback riding and archery, and talented in singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments\u2014who was chosen by Yang Lihua. When Yuwen Eying married, the wedding was held with great splendor, akin to that of a royal princess. Yang Lihua even used her esteemed status to help her daughter&#8217;s sole husband secure a high-ranking position as &#8220;Zhu Guo&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Li Jingxun (\u674e\u9759\u8bad ; L\u01d0 J\u00ecngx\u00f9n) was the fourth daughter of Li Min. Since her childhood, she was raised by her grandmother, Yang Lihua, in the palace. However, despite having a prestigious family and the affection of her grandmother, Li Jingxun\u2019s life was tragically short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>In the sixth month of the fourth year of the Daye era during Emperor Yang of Sui&#8217;s reign (608), while the imperial family was vacationing at the Fenyuan Palace (located in Ningwu County, Shanxi Province), the unfortunate Li Jingxun fell ill and passed away in the palace at a very young age, only nine years old.<\/p>\n<p>With profound sorrow, the family ordered that her body be returned to the capital, and in the twelfth month of the same year, she was buried in Daxing City (Chang&#8217;an, the capital of the Tang dynasty), within the Wanshan Ni Temple, which had previously been used for empresses and concubines of the previous dynasties.<\/p>\n<p>Although Li Jingxun never held an official title during her lifetime, her funeral was conducted with extraordinary ceremony: on her head, she wore a flower crown as a symbol of her noble status as a princess; around her neck, she wore a gold necklace adorned with foreign gemstones; and both of her hands were adorned with gold bracelets and rings, surrounded by various precious and rare items. After her burial, a large pavilion was constructed over her tomb, with a tower of treasures built for prayers and worship.<\/p>\n<p>Although the death of Li Jingxun was tragic, she outlived the worst fate of her family.<\/p>\n<p>In the second year after her death, in the fifth year of Daye (609), her beloved grandmother, Yang Lihua, passed away. In the tenth year of Daye (614), her father, Li Min, who had been caught in the suspicions of Emperor Yang of Sui, was executed, and a few months later, her mother, Yuwen Eying, was poisoned and died. Ten years after Li Jingxun\u2019s death, the once-powerful Sui dynasty collapsed and vanished.<\/p>\n<p>The various pieces of jewelry found in Li Jingxun\u2019s tomb allow us to understand the details of the adornments worn by a noble princess of the imperial family at that time. These artifacts were later moved and preserved in the Chinese History Museum (now the National Museum of China).<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"restoration\">Restoration Basis of the Image<\/h4>\n<p>During the archaeological excavation, the relative positions of the jewelry worn by Li Jingxun were well-preserved. A gold-silver ring shaped like a tree flower with a gemstone was found placed at the center of her head, while around her neck, there was a gold necklace decorated with gemstones. Additionally, three crystal hairpins and three jade hairpins were found, along with a wooden comb, although the exact positions of these items are not known.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1420\" style=\"width: 1148px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Sui Dynasty, Li Jingxun \u674e\u9759\u8bad) - c\" width=\"1148\" height=\"1596\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c.jpg 1148w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c-737x1024.jpg 737w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c-768x1068.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-c-1105x1536.jpg 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1148px) 100vw, 1148px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u95f2\u86fe\u91d1\u94f6\u73e0\u82b1\u6811\u5934\u9497\uff0c\u6c34\u6676\u9510\u3001\u767d\u7389\u9497\uff0c\u91d1\u9576\u73e0\u5b9d\u9879\u94fe \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a135<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"necklace\">\u91d1\u9576\u5b9d\u73e0\u9879\u94fe (j\u012bn xi\u0101ng b\u01ceo zh\u016b xi\u00e0ng li\u00e0n)<br \/>\nGold Necklace with Diamond Gemstones<\/h4>\n<p>This necklace is made of a gold chain linking twenty-eight spherical gold beads.

It served as a head ornament to highlight their status when wearing official attire.<\/p>\n<p>Based on differences in social rank, the number of flower trees a woman was allowed to wear also varied. This practice began during the Northern Zhou dynasty, when the Yuwen royal family ruled, and it was regulated by the state\u2019s etiquette system, which was later continued during the Sui dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>In the Tang dynasty, similar regulations were still enforced in the\u300a\u8863\u670d\u4ee4\u300b(y\u012b f\u00fa l\u00ecng, Regulations on Clothing and Accessories). For example, when the Empress of Tang wore her grand official attire, she would wear &#8220;twelve flower trees \u5341\u4e8c\u82b1\u6811&#8221; on her head; the Crown Princess wore \u201cjewelry nine flower trees \u9996\u9970\u82b1\u4e5d\u6811\u201d on her head, while first-tier noblewomen wore \u201cnine flower trees \u82b1\u9497\u4e5d\u6811\u201d, second-tier women wore \u201ceight flower trees \u82b1\u9497\u516b\u6811\u201d, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Flower trees were typically made from small pieces of gold, silver, glass, or pearls, materials that were very fragile and prone to damage. As a result, most of the archaeological finds consist of broken flower branches or separate flower fragments.<\/p>\n<p>Li Jingxun&#8217;s flower tree is a rare and complete example.<\/p>\n<p>A similar flower tree crown was found in the tomb of Empress Xiao of the Sui, buried at the beginning of the Tang dynasty. Although the crown was coarser, as it was made for an empress from a previous dynasty, traces of flower tree shapes resembling lotus flowers and leaves could still be seen, with microscopic embellishments of small white stones representing a story from Buddhist teachings about gods born from lotus flowers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1418\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-e.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Sui Dynasty, Li Jingxun \u674e\u9759\u8bad) - e\" width=\"460\" height=\"572\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-e.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-e-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lotus Relief on the Ceiling of Cave 5 of Yungang Grottoes \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a137 (taken from \u5409\u6751\u601c . \u5929\u4eba\u8bde\u751f\u56fe\u7814\u7a76\uff1a\u4e1c\u4e9a\u4f5b\u6559\u7f8e\u672f\u53f2\u8bba\u6587\u96c6[M].\u4e0a\u6d77\uff1a\u4e0a\u6d77\u53e4\u7c4d\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2009\uff1a\u56fe21.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1417\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-f.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-f.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Sui Dynasty, Li Jingxun \u674e\u9759\u8bad) - f\" width=\"630\" height=\"680\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-f.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-f-278x300.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The flower and tree crown structure of Empress Xiao in the early Tang dynasty \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a137<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the\u300a\u5510\u859b\u4e39\u592b\u4eba\u674e\u9976\u5893\u5fd7\u300b(t\u00e1ng xu\u0113 d\u0101n f\u016b r\u00e9n l\u01d0 r\u00e1o m\u00f9 zh\u00ec, Tomb Inscription of Li Rao, Wife of Xue Dan of Tang), a noblewoman from the Tang dynasty is described wearing a flower tiara when attending a meeting at the palace to meet the Dowager Empress.<\/p>\n<p>In the first year of Yuanhe, a woman (Wai Ming Fu, \u5916\u547d\u5987 w\u00e0i m\u00ecng f\u00f9) presented herself to the Empress Dowager at the Xingqing Palace Hall.

The wife of Prince Wu, Yang from the Li Ke family, wore Bao Dian (\u5b9d\u94bf) ornaments shaped like lotus petals with unique details \u2014 the petals featured a decorative cross pattern, a symbol of Nestorianism (a branch of Christianity). The top of a stone inscription, erected in the second year of the Jianzhong era (781), which documented the spread of Nestorianism in the Tang dynasty, also depicted a cross atop a lotus flower.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, although these head ornaments followed a strict ranking system, noblewomen could still choose the decorative motifs they preferred, especially for ornaments like Bao Dian (\u5b9d\u94bf).<\/p>\n<p>As described in a poem by Bai Juyi, depicting a palace gathering, &#8220;all the noblewomen were present with their crowns,&#8221; &#8220;the crowns of the nobility swayed,&#8221; and &#8220;golden ornaments glittered,&#8221; a flower crown reflected the grandeur of people during the Tang dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it is worth noting that a small jar was once discovered on the western outskirts of Xi&#8217;an, containing a collection of Jin Dian (\u91d1\u94bf ; j\u012bn di\u00e0n) and Bo Bin (\u535a\u9b13) that were damaged. This jar was likely buried by a noblewoman who hurriedly fled from the city of Chang&#8217;an during wartime in the Tang dynasty, though the story that followed remains lost without a trace.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1409\" style=\"width: 1136px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Sui-Dynasty-Li-Jingxun-\u674e\u9759\u8bad-n.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying -
