In the ancient imperial examination system, the top scorer in the provincial examination was called Xieyuan, the top scorer in the metropolitan examination was called Huiyuan, and the top scorer in the palace examination was called Zhuangyuan.

Those who achieved first place in all three examinations were known as “San Yuan Ji Di,” also referred to as Triple First.

The design incorporates the Zhuangyuan hat as a key element, symbolizing the meaning: “Achieving the top rank in all three examinations brings exceptional talent, and holding the highest official position grants generous emolument.”
