There are two allusions:

1. Gao Dingzi of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote "Embroidery of Spring Garden"

In the past, I was able to embroider the spring hall in the name of the wine, and when I came to the castle, I visited the hall without any, and asked where the ruins were unknown. The guest said, the name of the embroidered spring? It is said that the embroidered clothes should be spring when the Han stands, and the colored clothes are trending towards the court every day, which is the sentence of Du Shaoling’s entry into the concert. This is also a good name.

I want to be in the hall and be beautiful, the various divisions have room in the shipbuilding yard, and the neighbors are also willing to benefit from the destruction of the garden.

From Du Shi, it was known that Du Fu had given it to an envoy Dou Yu who was going to tell the emperor, and Song Renhua used "embroidered spring" in the sentence "embroidered clothes spring when Han Li" as the name of the garden. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people called Jinyi Wei’s knife "embroidered spring knife", which was a formal and moral expression, to show the close relationship between Jinyi Wei and the royal family, not to sound good, but to come up with a name out of thin air.

Embroidery spring sword is the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guards standard saber, the shape of a combination of the characteristics of the Tang knife and Shaolin plum blossom knife, single knife, mainly lightweight, while narrow and slightly curved, easy to carry and medium range attack.

"Those who enter the official hall of the brocade-clothed guards will be given the embroidered spring knife on the day of their lives." It can be seen that not all brocade-clothed guards can have the embroidered spring knife. They must reach a certain rank before they can be bestowed by the peak or the emperor. This is also a symbol of status.
