WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You have the nerve to complain about such immense privilege? What an ungrateful brat.”

In imperial China, specific belts (like rhinoceros horn) and robes marked elite bureaucratic tiers; complaining about them demonstrates ridiculous vanity or unearned entitlement.
