Men Attire
Anyone who has seen the exquisite costumes worn by Vietnamese women will recognize similarities in the traditional dress of the male. There are many variations on the basic theme. At the top of the list is the elaborate dress of the emperor and the mandarins. Their rank was shown in the display of color in the brocade and embroideries. Gold brocade with embroidered dragons was for the emperor only. Gold is the national color and the dragon heads the fabulous mythical animal world. Purple is the color reserved for high-ranking court mandarins, while blue is for those of lower rank. Costumes worn for religious ceremonies also have their special colors. Dresses for ceremonial occasions usually have very wide and ample sleeves. Wedding dresses are similar to the popular fashions, and the color is usually purple or blue brocade. Dresses for mourning have frayed fringes or a line up the back and may be either black or white in color.

Hãy xác định phương thức biểu đạt chính của đoạn chích:
Nhưng lần này lại khác. Trước mắt tôi trường Mĩ Lí trông vừa xinh xắn vừa oai nghiêm như cái đình làng Hòa Ấp. Sân nó rộng, mình nó cao hơn trong những buổi trưa hè đầy vắng lặng. Lòng tôi đâm ra lo sợ vẩn vơ. Cũng như tôi, mấy cậu học trò mới bỡ ngỡ đứng nép bên người thân, chỉ dám nhìn một nửa hay dám đi từng bước nhẹ. Họ như con chim con đứng bên bờ tổ nhìn quãng trời rộng muốn bay, nhưng còn ngập ngừng e sợ. Họ thèm vụng và ước ao thầm được như những người học trò cũ, biết lớp, biết thầy để khỏi phải rụt rè trong cảnh lạ.
