That is, the queen's dress crown was designed in the early Ming Dynasty with reference to the Song Dynasty queen's dragon and phoenix flower hairpin crown. Although the ornaments used are not as many as those used in the Song Dynasty, they are still gorgeous on the whole. "Ming Hui Dian" made a detailed record of the dress details of Fengguan (Yongle three-year system):
"Kowloon four rockhopper, lacquer bamboo silk for round quantico, take its jade. Decorated with Cuilong Nine and Jinfeng Four, Yi Long holds a big bead in the middle, with a green cover hanging beads, and the rest hold beads; 40 pieces of Zhu Cuiyun; Twelve big pearl flowers (all peony flowers, two for each tree, Cui Hua with two cores and nine leaves); The number of small beads is the same as that of large beads (flowers are floating branches, one flower, one half-opened, five-leaf green leaves); Sanbo Hall (left and right * * * six fans), decorated with golden dragons and Cui Yun, all dripping beads; A pair of cuikou rings decorated with twelve diàn flowers, as many as cuikou rings; Torikin has a pair of rings. "
The rockhopper is woven with lacquer bamboo silk into a round crown tire, and the surface is covered with jade yarn. Originally, the crown was crowned with nine emerald dragons and four golden phoenixes, but judging from the costume portraits and unearthed objects of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, the dragons on the crown were all gold, while the phoenix was a little emerald. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a big dragon in the middle of the phoenix crown, with a big bead in its mouth, a jade cover and a string of hanging beads on it. Other dragons and phoenixes have beads made of pearls and precious stones in their mouths. The upper part of the crown is covered with 40 ruyi clouds inlaid with pearls. The lower part is decorated with twelve big pearl flowers, that is, peony flowers strung with pearls, two of which are a tree, decorated with Cui Hua's two heads and nine leaves. There are twelve small pearl flowers (floating branches), each with a pearl flower, a half-opened flower and five leaves. The big bead flower is decorated on the lower part of the crown and the upper edge of the mouth ring, and the small bead flower is above the big bead flower and decorated between the beads. On the outside of the base of the crown, there is a cuikou ring decorated with 12 pearls, precious stones, flowers and cuizhou. Tory has a gold ring for one week. The rear part of the crested rockhopper is equipped with a temple, and the front end is oval, gradually gathering back. There are three doors embedded in the throat of Jinlong, each decorated with Jinlong, Cui Yun, pearls and so on. The edge of the lower side (or front side) of the temple is decorated with beads, and the beads fall down.

There are two pieces of Queen's clothes in Dingling, Ming Shenzong. One is the Nine Phoenix Crowns in the Book of Filial Piety, and the other is the Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns in the Book of Filial Piety. The ornaments used by the two rock-jumping penguins are not completely consistent with the system of Minghui Hall, but they are basically the same as those painted in The Portrait of the Queen's Dress. According to the Records of the Ming Dynasty, the crown of Empress Cisheng in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli has the words "Twelve dragons and twelve phoenix bean beads inlaid with cat's eye crown, red, yellow and sapphire (golden dragon swallowing mouth, wave edge, gold inlaid gem hairpin, Ruyi hook)", and the shape is also close to the unearthed objects.
After filial piety, Tong Guan in Jiu Feng, Kowloon was 48.5 cm high and 23.7 cm in outer diameter. There are nine golden dragons on the front, eight emerald peaks in the middle, and nine trees decorated with big pearls and flowers on the lower floor.

"Ming Hui Dian" records: "Five things of Zhu Cuihua; A pair of beads and rings; O Luo's forehead is one, painting dragons as gold and using 21 beads. " Zhu Cui Hua Mian is an ornament worn by the queen on her face, which also refers to the system of Song Dynasty. * * * A total of five pieces (five things): one piece is attached to the forehead, with a big bead in the middle, four small beads around it and four green leaves in the middle; Two cymbals are connected to each other, each embedded with a big bead and decorated with five green leaves; Two pieces were pasted on both ends of the left and right eyebrows near the hairline, with a row of six pearls and twelve green leaves. During the Wanli period, Empress Dowager Cixi (Lu, the same below) wore "two pairs of pearls and green flowers, counting eighteen pieces". The use of Zhu Cuimian flowers can be seen in the portraits of the Empress in the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the use of Zhu Cuimian flower was unknown because there was no portrait of the queen's dress handed down from generation to generation. Only the dress of empress Xiaoke in the Ming Emperor Shizong seemed to be decorated with a pearl, and the rest of the queens were useless.
Beaded rings are the queen's earrings (earrings in the Ming Dynasty are also called "rings" or "rings"). They are a pair of pearls strung together with gold thread, with a big pearl at the end and pearls and green leaves at the top, each with an S-shaped gold hook. Empress Cisheng wears two gold earrings and two gold jewels and pearl rings.
O Luo's second son, also known as the trowel, was put on the Queen's forehead. It is made of O Luo and has a rectangular shape. It is decorated with Un-yong Kim pattern, with 2/kloc-0 pearls at the bottom and a lace on each side. There are "a pair of pearls painted by Un-yong Kim" on the crown of Ci Sheng Queen, and a row of pearls exposed at the bottom of the phoenix crown, that is, the O-shaped forehead, can be seen in the costume portrait of the Ming Dynasty Queen.

The collar, sleeves and skirts are decorated with red edges and decorated with gold or colorful woven Yunlong patterns. There are twelve lines of "dí" patterns (golden pheasant with red belly and colorful feathers) woven on the body. Twelve pairs are used for each line, which should be 144 pairs. However, due to the overlapping lapels of clothes, there may be four pairs of Zhai patterns, so Ming Hui Dian called it "every 148 pairs". The narrow lines of lapel and left sleeve (front) face to the right, and the narrow lines of lapel and right sleeve (front) face to the left. The narrow lines on the back should be symmetrical with the front, but in the opposite direction, that is, the narrow lines on both sides of the back seam (center line) face the cuffs. There are small round flowers in the lent room and a circle of white beads outside. The patterns in each row (column) are interlaced with Zhai patterns and small round flowers.
