In terms of clothing: the color representation may not conform to the official regulations: officials up to the fourth rank use dark red, those from the fifth to seventh rank use light green, and those below the eighth rank use green. Generally, civilian clothes of officials are mostly dark blue or sky green, with some green. The official robes worn with official hats are commonly seen in dark red, as we see in ancient costume dramas where people who have passed the imperial examination or become the top scholar wear dark red official robes. However, according to their ranks, those who have passed the imperial examination or become the top scholar are officials of the seventh rank, and should wear light green official robes. It is probably because Chinese people prefer the festive atmosphere of red that they do not follow the regulations completely. Female officials also wear more red official robes, hence, we call women's embroidery and handicrafts “female red”, which has unique cultural characteristics.

The trend of “Good Green” has been inherited by the people of Xinshe for thousands of years, expressing their admiration for life and aspirations for a better life. From Hanfu to food, this concept runs through everything. In the poem “The Collar of Your Clothes” from “The Book of Songs,” there is a line “The collar of your clothes is green, my heart is full of longing,” which has been widely circulated and remains popular. People often use this metaphor to express inner longing; here, “collar” generally refers to the collar of Hanfu, and the preceding “green” is the color of the dyed Hanfu. The Hanfu of that time was mostly made of ramie, then dyed green with plant leaves, which is very beautiful. China is a country rich in culture and emotion; besides poems that can be sung, colors carry emotions. Fresh green comes from the most beautiful spring of one's hometown, while deep green brings the auspicious sign of harvest, and light green evokes thoughts of the sky, just like Jay Chou sings in “Blue and White Porcelain”: “Sky green waits for the rain, and I wait for you.”
In the photo, Li Xiaolu is wearing a very feminine Hanfu, with a long light green skirt as the main outfit, draped with a semi-transparent beige gauze, and her long hair is styled with many small braids. She looks like an ancient maiden, and at nearly 40, she still looks great in a maiden's outfit, which is quite remarkable. However, this time her makeup is a bit too strong, with red eyeshadow and rose-red lipstick on her fair skin, which seems too much. Many of Li Xiaolu's costumes in ancient dramas were actually quite nice, let's take a look.

Sky green is a very high-end color, and this color is one of the typical Chinese elements, as mentioned in Jay Chou's song “Blue and White Porcelain”: “Sky green waits for the rain, and I wait for you.” Besides the elegant color, we can see that this Hanfu is adorned with exquisite embroidery of bamboo and rivers, preventing it from appearing too plain. Wearing it makes one look not only neat but also gives a gentle feeling. The high-chest style is also suitable for petite girls, making them appear taller and slimmer.
The sea gives a sense of vastness and inclusiveness, truly boundless, and its color is divided into two: one is the green we speak of, and the other is blue, interwoven with a beautiful sense. The two Hanfu in the picture are mainly green. The Hanfu on the left is a mix of green and white, giving a light yet clean feeling. The Hanfu on the right is a simpler green, but with the sea as the background, it conveys the aura of the sea, looking incredibly beautiful.
