In Chinese folklore, the crane was thought to live for over 200 years and that it stored its accumulated wisdom in its red 'cap'. This is likely why the emblem of the crane was prescribed for use on the clothing of the emperor's closest advisors.

A very similar Kangxi-period crane badge was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 May 2012, lot 4032. A very similar Kangxi period badge, but depicting a silver pheasant, for official’s of the fifth rank was sold at Christie's New York, The Imperial Wardrobe, Fine Chinese Costume and Textiles from the Linda Wrigglesworth Collection, 19 March 2008, lot 28.
