The crane corresponds to the first civil rank. In this badge, embroidery in silk was supplemented with eye-catching beading. The crane's characteristic red head and the sun disk, for example, are rendered in small coral beads; the crane's body and some of the flowers are in pearls; and the crane's legs and bill are in green beads.
