Order decoration

The gold-plated medal is star-shaped and consists of eight bundles of five smooth golden rays. There is a short, green enameled beam between each individual beam. The medallion, enamelled in blue in the middle, is surrounded by 26 red buttons and shows a stylized Chinese dragon in the center , which is accompanied by a piece of a golden cloud. The dragon itself snaps at the sun. The decoration of the order and the star of the order correspond in their appearance. However, the jewel has an openwork green enamelled hanger that shows a stylized cloud group consisting of a central cloud vortex and two concentrically arranged pentagons of clouds. The corresponding rosette is white and shows a blue ring in the middle.

Wearing style

The award was worn on a blue sash with white stripes on the right shoulder and a breast star.

Awards

In total, the second highest order in the country was awarded 33 times until the occupation by Soviet troops in 1945 and the associated end of the monarchy.
