Qin Shi Huang was the first king to complete the great unification and use the title of emperor. He was the first person to unify the six countries and establish China's autocratic political situation for more than 2,000 years.
The emperors are all wearing dragon robes, symbolizing the status and identity of the emperor, since ancient times, the dragon robes of the emperors of all dynasties are mainly yellow, why is the dragon robe of Qin Shi Huang black?
First, because Qin Shi Huang believed in the Five Elements Doctrine, he believed that the five stars were mutually reinforcing, and the country was the same, Qin was short of water, and the water was black, so after the unification of King Qin, the dragon robe was mainly black.
Second, it is said that the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty are the descendants of the emperor, who devoured the eggs of the Xuanniao and lived and reproduced the descendants of Qin.
Xuanniao refers to the swallow, the coat color is black, in order to commemorate the ancestors, Qin Shi Huang set the dragon robe black.
Third, it is recorded in the "Shangshu Yugong" that "the black water west river is only Yongzhou", the ancestor of the Qin king, Qin Xianggong, settled in Yongzhou, and the king of Zhou Ping moved east to give it to the Qin ancestors, which is the fundamental cornerstone of the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.
In order to commemorate Yongzhou, the place where it was founded, the King of Qin thanked Heishui for its nurturing and nurturing grace to the Qin State, and used black as a symbol, which is also the origin of the water virtue of the Qin Dynasty, and was also influenced by Taoist Confucianism.
Of course, the Qin Dynasty is mainly black, since ancient times, the emperor will choose the color of the dragon robe, the Han Dynasty is mainly red, and the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe is added, so it is mainly yellow.
Most of the emperors in the later period were mainly yellow, and the dragon robes were all yellow, which symbolized the noble color and the noble status of the royal family.
