<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 511355, member: 8363"]2manybooks. During the 2000 years, Chinese civil servants numbered in the 100,000 range. That's 200,000 objects, since they wore one on front and one on the back. Lets say 25% have a badge for their wives, that's another 50,000. Assuming that they may have summer and winter wear - you see where this is going. Since my first Dragon robe exhibit, I have seen a number of major exhibits. Not all the work is "wedding" quality, especially the emperor's lighter summer robes. What you see in books and exhibits are the best, but I have found the range to be quite varied.
