This badge is a buzi, the square insignia that Chinese officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties wore sewn to the chest and back of their formal robes to announce their rank at court. Birds marked civil officials and animals marked military officers, with nine distinct grades running in each branch of government. Rank badges like this one were as much prized works of textile artistry as they were bureaucratic identification, often woven in fine silk and sometimes metallic thread.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen. The scale works perfectly for rank badge buzi and nothing feels cramped.
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. Everything that makes rank badge buzi special survived the reproduction. The size is exactly right for the spot I had in mind. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. I will absolutely be ordering from here again.
The shipping was fast and the packing was better than most furniture I have bought. The shading in rank badge buzi has a depth I never noticed in books. I am already planning the next order.
Whatever arrived at my house is not what the listing showed. The whole point of rank badge buzi is the detail, and there is none of it left here. Every email I have sent has gone unanswered for going on a month. My money is gone and I have nothing usable to show for it. I regret every part of this purchase.
This is disappointing to hear and I am sorry we let you down. We have passed the packaging problem along to the team that packs our orders, and we would like to fix this for you.
Customer service took nine days to send me a two-line answer.
I am sorry for the trouble. If you email us a photo of the damage we can send a replacement the same day, and you can keep the original.
