What's the secret of this dress that Zhen Xuan wore before Hua Fei died?

In the TV series "The Queen of the Palace", Hua Fei wore a yellow Hanfu before her death, which actually contained many symbols and secrets. Here are some common explanations:

Yellow is the color of the robes and sleeves of the harem concubines and one of the colors of the dragon robes worn by the emperor. In the Qing dynasty, yellow was designated as the exclusive color of the royal family, and only the emperor or queen could wear yellow. Therefore, Hua Fei is not a queen, but she wears yellow Hanfu, which means that she is not only the emperor's concubine, but also equivalent to the queen in some aspects.

According to the plot, this yellow Hanfu was given to Huafei by Zhen Xuan. She once told Zhen Xuan that she wanted to wear expensive clothes. Therefore, this dress itself represents Zhen Xuan's concern and pity for Hua Fei, and embodies Zhen Xuan's kindness and tolerance.

For Huafei herself, this yellow Hanfu may be a harbinger of her death. In ancient culture, yellow was often associated with death and disappearance. Therefore, Hua Fei's choice to wear yellow Hanfu may mean that she has put down her obsession with life and is ready for death.

In a word, this yellow Hanfu plays multiple symbols and meanings in the play. It not only embodies the significance of social status, relationship and emotion, but also expresses Hua Fei's attitude and views on life and death.
