Abstract—These Identity design has been an important
subject of human concern since ancient times. In ancient feudal
society, the same group of people formed a pyramid structure.
Taking the Qing Empire as an example, the emperor's robe is
yellow with a dragon emblem embroidered on it, symbolizing
the emperor's majesty, while the official robes are divided into
bird patterns and animal patterns, forming a strict hierarchy.
In addition to the level identification between the same groups,
the power information and other information of different
groups can also be clearly distinguished from each other. For
example, the Japanese family crest shows the family
information to which the individual belongs, while the
European family crest is more of a multi-level presentation,
which may include family, class, status and other information.
In addition, both of them have a long history and culture and a
well-structured and systematic emblem pattern. When later
generations studied the totem emblem patterns in other regions,
they invariably used the two as a reference for comparison.
What are these coats of arms and coats of arms used as a
basis for judging status and class? This is the goal of this study,
and it is hoped that the final findings will serve as a reference
for other researchers.
