The term "well-dressed beasts" originated from the clothing regulations of the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, there were strict rules on the dress of civil officials and military generals. The uniforms of civil officials are embroidered with various bird patterns, while the uniforms of military generals are painted with various animal patterns. This dress code originated from the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's concept of governing the country, he hoped to show the rank and identity of the ** through clothing, but also to promote the way of civil and military affairs, encourage the ** people to be loyal to the court, and contribute to the country and the people.
At that time, the term "well-dressed beasts" was used to praise those civil and military ** who wore gorgeous official uniforms and high hats. Because these ** costumes are exquisite, the patterns are vivid, reminiscent of a variety of rare birds and beasts, so they are praised as "well-dressed beasts". This word still had a certain positive meaning at the time, indicating that these ** people had noble character and outstanding talent.
However, as time passed, some officials began to abuse their powers, bend the law for bribes, oppress the people, and commit crimes. The actions of these people have given people a derogatory connotation of the term "well-dressed beasts". People began to call those who behave badly and morally corrupt ** "well-dressed beasts", which means that although they are gorgeous on the outside, they are as ugly as beasts on the inside.
In addition, some political struggles in the middle and late Ming Dynasty also made the term "well-dressed beast" more dejorative. For the sake of their own selfish interests, some ** do not hesitate to give up the interests of their families and the people, and even collude with foreign enemies and commit treason to the enemy. The behavior of these people has greatly reduced people's trust in them, making the term "well-dressed beasts" synonymous with belittling those who misbehave and have bad morals.
As a result, the term "well-dressed beast" has historically undergone a shift from positive to derogatory. It not only reflects the dress regulations and hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty, but also reveals the complexity of human nature and social changes. Nowadays, the term "well-dressed beast" has become a derogatory term for people who are gorgeous on the outside but ugly on the inside.
The historical evolution of the term "well-dressed beast" not only reflects the social style and cultural background of the Ming Dynasty, but also reveals the complexity of human nature and social changes. We should always be vigilant, not to be deceived by appearances, but to pay attention to inner qualities and moral cultivation. At the same time, we should also strive to create a fair, honest and harmonious social environment, so that people like "well-dressed beasts" will not be able to gain a foothold.
