During the late 19th and early 20th century, the badges were prized collector items for wives of western diplomats stationed in Peking or Shanghai, and missionaries throughout China. The western collectors in old China not only framed the beautiful badges and hung them on walls, thus preserving them for future generations, but made evening purses of them. They put them under glass-covered serving trays, made decorative boxes adorned by them, and other imaginative items. They were most innovative with the regal badges that had been displayed with great pride by mandarin on the black silk surcoats worn over the colorful dragon robes on all official occasions in the court of the last emperors and empresses of China. Two groups of men achieved badges, civil and military. Each category had nine ranks. The civil rank badges feature birds for identification, and the military utilize animals, both real and mythological. The first civil examination was generally taken at approximately age 18. Those who passed were awarded the Flower of Talent or Hsiu-ts’ai title and were entitled to wear the ninth rank badge, the Paradise Flycatcher. This would be equivalent to receiving our Bachelor of Arts degree.Silk embroidery on silk fabric. Originally a Chinese Civil Rank Badge, repurposed into a bag.

Yunjian (Chinese cloud collar), as a uniquely charming element in the culture of Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing), is like a magnificent cloud resting on the shoulders of Hanfu, narrating the historical stories that have endured for thousands of years. The origin of the name "Yunjian"（Chinese cloud collar） can be traced back to the culture of ethnic costumes. However, due to the reverence for "Heaven" in Chinese civilization, it has been assimilated and applied, thus becoming a model of the ethereal and grand ethnic costume culture that embodies the concept of "harmony between man and nature". The cutting and layout of Yunjian emphasize rich layers. There are gradations in size, interweaving of lengths, and variations in color among the pieces. The decorative embroidery techniques include various skills such as patch embroidery, bead embroidery, couching, beading, satin stitch, and Pekin knot stitch. These techniques make Yunjian resemble clouds, rainbows, or the flower beds of the four seasons, filling it with charm and sentiment. Complex, especially the various embroidery and it is an extremely important part of China's intangible cultural heritage.

His Excellency, Hwang Hon Cheng, from Peking, China, visited Australia from 1906 -1907 as Chinese Commissioner in response to an urgent petition from well respected Chinese business leaders, The 1906 Petition was sent to the Chinese Ambassador in Britain requesting the appointment of a Chinese Consular Representative in Australia to ease the escalating Discrimination and address the Immigration Restrictions in Australia. Hwang Hon Cheng visited Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne , Adelaide and Hobart and after reviewing his recommendations Britain agreed to the appointment of the first Chinese Consul-General to Australia. In 1908 Mr Leong Lan Fun, Taotal of Swatow was appointed Consul-General for the Commonwealth with his headquarters in Melbourne. Animosity, suspicion and misunderstanding had existed between Chinese and European settlers since the Gold Rush of 1850’s. Language, customs, frugality and mostly their ability to obtain profit from crops seen as uneconomical by Europeans eg parsley, garlic and salad vegetables. Many of the Chinese workers did not purchase land instead their main aim was to obtain enough money for their family and return to China. There were a few still managing market gardens around East Bentleigh until the 1950’s, by which time they were highly regarded by the general community.
