How did you rise to decorate pagodas with colored silks and jewels? What kind of continuation did it have later?
The custom of decorating pagodas with colored silk and jewels prevailed during the Gui Dynasty, and developed into colorful flags in Central Asia and China, which became hundreds of feet long in several centuries. When Song Yun and Sheng Hui of the Northern Wei Dynasty went to the Western Seas as special envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they brought 1000 hundred-foot-long flags, silk sachets and 2,000 shorter colored flags.
