In response to Shari's comment on clothing, it is actually Chinese (and maybe all of Asia) tradition to wear red at a wedding. Their thoughts on what colors symbolize are very different from ours (western society). In the United States it would be completely unheard of for a woman to wear a red wedding dress, because to us red symbolizes lust and promiscuity. While I am sure to them it is bizarre that 'westerners' wear white at a wedding. But then also purple has always been a sign of royalty and if I remember correctly, I think at least one of the lords at the birthday feast was wearing a purple garb. So I wouldn't be surprised if all the clothing the characters wore was in direct correlation to their status. The style certainly was; everyone continued to think that Lee was a beggar due to the clothing he was wearing.
