I like this best. Sometimes there are two dragons chasing a pearl. Shuang long xi zhu [literally means] dragons play pearl. Normally you can see an officer’s position from his clothes and from his hat with a pearl on top.
[It looks like] Chinese knitting…. [This one’s] a bat. This one’s like a fish…. You can see this is clouds. Do you remember the 2008 Olympic torch with lucky clouds? When we have dragon dance[s] you have someone holding a ball. (Looking at the other symbols) …This one’s like a cake, a cupcake. On TV we have programmes about the Qing dynasty (also known as the Manchu family, the last ruling dynasty of China, until 1912) and this one is like the one for a judge. I think [the symbol emerging from the sea] is a ship.
Yes!
Would you wear it?
I like this skirt.
This might be a gourd. And there’s a fan and a vase.
A spider?
Is this a bat? (Looking at one of the embroidered motifs)
In Turkey you don’t have faces on embroidery. This skirt could be used in today’s fashions.
