With features similar to those of the Han-style apparel, this shirt has a round collar, broad sleeves, two side slits and a diagonal placket stretching from collar to the right side of body, and equally long front and rear panels, both of which are in black satin coupled with dark blue cotton cloth lining. Multi-layered purfle and embroidered motifs are applied to the cuffs and the central front panel, and ruyi-shaped cloud patterns on the underarm area. And on the shoulders there are smooth and glossy blue and white flowers on braches with vivid forms done mainly by plain embroidery technique. Five pairs of “一”-shaped frogs can be found on the entire garment, with one pair on collar, two pairs on the corner of the diagonal placket, one pair under the right arm, and one pair on the right side slit. Generally speaking, the harmonious palette and the combination of techniques such as inlaying, embroidering and applique-applying made this shirt one among the best.
