Based on wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, the ‘Cap and Rank System’ involved coloured caps, worn by ranked officials of the government and imperial court. Through this system important meaning was ingrained into each of the colours adopted in the system. For example, deep purple, the colour allowed only to the highest ranked officials, became attributed to unmatched virtue for its affiliation with elite nobility.
