The conspicuous consumption in china
The “face” may be the most important things in Chinese society, from the feudal society to now. Most of us always care our “face” when we do some things and afraid of beneath our dignity.
In the feudal society, the life of king and prince of the blood is luxury. The dishware of they use are all silver. At that time, silver is more valuable that gold. One dinner always have twenty dishes when king and empress have the dinner. Many dishes never been eaten and be thrown. The adornments they wore also make us amazing. They use silver, gold and jade to decorate themselves.
