Was the dragon robe of the ancient emperor thrown away as soon as it was worn?

Now we can often see emperors wearing dragon robes when watching costume TV dramas, but usually emperors don't wear dragon robes very grandly, so they don't throw them away directly when they wear them once. After all, they are expensive, but they are stored for the next time.

In fact, the ancient emperors were all symbols of the only thrill, so they paid great attention to clothes, which not only represented their own personal image, but also represented the image of the whole country. Therefore, they are very careful in clothing materials, embroidery, inlaid ornaments and so on, and use excellent items. If you throw it away at once, it will be a waste. For some incorruptible emperors, this is a shameful act.

Then emperors usually only wear dragon robes on important occasions. The first reason is that it is expensive, and the second reason is that the clothes are too heavy. After all, ancient clothes were worn layer by layer, so robes would not be dirty, and there would be someone to manage them. Usually, after the emperor takes them off, he will check whether the robes are dirty. If they are dirty, he will directly scrub the corners and then put them away with incense to avoid being stolen.

Finally, there is more than one dragon robe. Although expensive, it is impossible for an emperor to have only one dragon robe. If it spreads, it will definitely make others laugh. Therefore, the ancient tailors will make dragon robes for the emperor according to the weather changes in the four seasons, and the styles will change slightly, so as to avoid the emperor's suspicion and highlight their own craftsmanship. Therefore, there are many pieces of the emperor's robes, which can be changed at ordinary times. They will not walk back and forth all day, and even if they are taken out alone, they will not look so dirty.
