Bros just give one look and they totally understand the plan.

The Dai Li and Rank: Mandarin Square

The two main ways to show rank in Imperial China was the buzi, the Mandarin square, and the adornments of the hat/the hat itself.

The Dai Li all have the Earth Kingdom symbol, imitating the Mandarin Square, on the front of their robes as a sign of them being a member i.e. their rank as Dai Li agents.

I do not remember us ever meeting any other high ranking officials, but for Longfeng, so sadly there are no other official Mandarin  Squares in the show.

The real ones are awesome enough on their own (see picture).

A Mandarin square  補子also known as a rank badge, was a large embroidered badge sewn onto the surcoat of an official in Imperial China. It was embroidered with detailed, colourful animal or bird insignia indicating the rank of the official wearing it.

I bet Korra will try to look for a bathroom in the spirit world, then Aang’s like “lol nope.”

Am I the only one who wants Korra to be in a coma so that we can have more flashbacks?
