2005 Traditional Chinese Costume Stamps - Cing Civil Official Bu Fu. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.

The culture of Chinese people´s traditional costume is unique of its kind in the world. The system of court dresses for both civil and military officials was devised during Hongwu´s reign of Ming Dynasty in order to indicate the rank and status.

Emperor Shunjhih of Cing Dynasty even mandated to embellish the official dresses with Mandarin squares (bu zih) for the first rank to the ninth rank officials. Bu zi on the court dresses of Ming and Cing dynasties were very particular about both workmanship and materials of embroidery and were endowed with artistic significance. Bu fu (or Bu zih), with different designs of Mandarin squares embroidered at the front and the back of the court dresses for the civil and military officials of Ming and Cing dynasties, could mostly indicate status.

The designs on Mandarin squares for civil officials´ court dresses of the Cing Dynasty were each formatted with a single flying bird raising its head toward the sun in the middle and with the emblems of 8 auspiciousness and 8 treasures as background. The birds for these designs were: a Manchurian crane for the first rank, a golden pheasant for the second rank, a peacock for the third rank, a wild goose for the fourth rank, a silver pheasant for the fifth rank, an egret for the sixth rank, a Mandarin duck for the seventh rank, a quail for the eighth rank and a paradise flycatcher for the ninth rank.
