In the past, amongst all of the people in China, it has always been the emperor, the supreme ruler of the land, who has the finest clothes. While the clothes of the common people are usually in drabber colours such as brown or black, and even some of the higher-ranked officials, who wear brighter colours like red or green, the emperor wears gold. Gold was a revered colour in China, and the people believe that only the most worthy can wear it. The emperor's robe is also richly decorated with patterns of dragons, a divine mythical creature suited only to the emperor.
