Detailed Character Identification, Description, and Historical Background

Character Identification

An unnamed Chinese civil-official themed figure in an olive green uniform, distinguished by pale printed spectacles and a narrow brown belt design.

Detailed Character Description

The bare head has pale round spectacle artwork, dark eyebrows, highlighted eyes and a restrained mouth. An olive green four-pocket tunic has a central line of gold-colored buttons, white circular collar motifs and a small rectangular chest marking. Dark pen-like details appear beside the upper pocket. A narrow brown belt of repeated cartridge-like shapes crosses the waist beside a brown holster motif. Matching olive trousers have crease artwork above black shoes with pale curved highlights. Both hands are empty. The spectacles, belt equipment, holster and small uniform markings are printed artwork.

Historical / Thematic Background

Republican-era Chinese government was shaped by efforts to establish modern institutions after the end of imperial rule. Civil administration forms an important part of that history alongside the more familiar military subjects. Appointment rules, examinations and the organization of government personnel all became areas of reform as officials sought to put public service on a new institutional footing.

The Nationalist government created an Examination Yuan preparatory office in 1928. Civil-service employment and evaluation laws followed in 1929, and the Examination Yuan and its subordinate bodies were formally established in January 1930. The first senior civil-service examinations were held in Nanjing in 1931. These developments provide useful background for an unnamed civil-official theme without making this miniature a portrait of an officeholder.

This design brings that administrative theme into a small historical display through its pale spectacle artwork, composed expression and carefully outlined tunic pockets. The olive clothing and printed belt equipment connect it visually with the wider period-inspired collection, while the face distinguishes it from the other members. It can serve as a general official character in a Republican-era scene, with its individual personality carried by the printed details.
