In the Ming Dynasty, the rockhopper was the ceremonial crown worn by the empress when she accepted books, visited temples and attended court meetings. Its shape inherited the system of Song Dynasty, and developed and perfected it to make it more elegant. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the colorful crowns used by ordinary women as ornaments were also called rockhopper crowns, which were mostly used for weddings.
The emperor was the title of the supreme ruler of China during the imperial period. In ancient times, Huang Xi Fuxi, Wa Huang Nuwa, Huangdi Xuanyuan and Yan Di Shennong were not real emperors, but tribal leaders or tribal alliance leaders, and their emperors or titles were all added by later generations. After the Xia dynasty monarch was called, the Shang dynasty monarch was called emperor, and the Zhou emperor was called king. During the Warring States period, most governors arrogantly called themselves kings and respected Zhou as the king of heaven. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, unified China, thinking that he was both a sage and Huang San. He made contributions to the five emperors and created the word Emperor as the official title of the supreme ruler of China.

Rockhopper means the noblest woman in the world.
Among the numerous crowns in ancient China, the crested rockhopper was the most well known and admired by women. It is the exclusive crown ornament of the empresses of ancient emperors, decorated with phoenix-like gems, showing its elegant beauty. The first dress used by ancient women was rockhopper. Wearing a gown and wearing a rockhopper is the greatest glory of ancient women.
Generally speaking, rockhopper is a part of China's traditional high-end clothing, but this tradition is different in different times. In any case, the rockhopper belongs to the "most distinguished woman", but its appearance is different.
The origin of rockhopper penguins
The so-called rockhopper, correctly speaking, should actually be called rockhopper jewelry. Now people are used to pairing "phoenix" with "dragon", which is the result of long-term struggle between ancient dragon-worshipping tribes and phoenix-worshipping tribes, and finally merged into a unified Chinese nation. Phoenix's position is second only to that of dragon, because it has been in the Central Plains for 800 years since Zhou, who worships dragon, defeated the Shang clan who worships phoenix.
But Feng Shengqin died in the second year, and his life span was too short. Then China was unified by Liu Bang, who started from the resurrection of the dragon totem. He fabricated the myth that he was the son of the red dragon, and created a scam that the emperor was the "real dragon son of heaven". The strong and long-term rule of the Han dynasty finally laid the primary and secondary pattern of dragons and phoenixes.
The ancestors of the Qin Dynasty worshipped bird totem, which is recorded in the history books. Therefore, Qin Shihuang did not build a dragon flag when he entered the six countries, but "built a Cuifeng flag". It is said that it was also from Qin Shihuang that the concubines in the palace inserted Feng Chai.
