When were the flags of Empresses in the Palace, Empress Dowager and Zhen Xuan's later period cylindrical? What is the difference between the word "one" and the word "eight" of other concubines?

In Empresses in the Palace, the flag heads of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are designed to be cylindrical, mainly because of their lofty status and the need to show solemnity and authority. The cylindrical flag head represents dignity and stability, and also symbolizes the dignity and majesty of the royal family. The choice of this headdress is consistent with their identity and role, which reflects the respect of the plot for history and culture and the careful consideration of characterization.

In Empresses in the Palace, Zhen Xuan's flag head also adopted a cylindrical design in the later period. This is because Zhen Xuan's position in the play has gradually risen, becoming a strong competitor of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. In order to match the authoritative position of Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Zhen Xuan's image must also show solemnity and majesty. The cylindrical flag not only represents Zhen Xuan's noble position in the play, but also conforms to her role in the plot.

Compared with the flags of other concubines, the flags of "One" and "Eight" represent their relatively low status. The shapes of these two flags are relatively simple, without the solemnity and complexity of a column. This reflects that in the feudal society at that time, the status and rights of women were strictly restricted, and only a few women such as Empress Dowager Cixi could own the cylindrical flag.

In a word, the design of the banner in Zhen Huan's biography is meticulous, which not only conforms to the historical background and character, but also reflects the promotion of the plot and the change of the character's status.
