介绍（中）	1454年，朝鲜王朝（1392–1910）的宫廷在中国明朝（1368–1644）的基础上采用了文武官员的军衔徽章制度。丝绸上绣有鸟类和动物的方形徽章被佩戴在官方服装的正面（hyung）和背面（bae）。它们与国王和王储在宫廷服饰的正面、背面和肩部绣有龙（称为bo）的圆形徽章有着明显的区别。在一个重视严格的社会和政治等级制度的社会中，军衔徽章除了具有装饰性外，还是一个可见的地位标志。最初允许三级及以上的文职和军事官员佩戴，最终军衔徽章的使用范围扩大到所有九级。在朝鲜王朝的过程中，对特定动物形象和相关等级的规定不断演变。带有一对鹤的军衔徽章通常是为一至三级文职官员保留的。1899年，韩国的"兴八"制度被中止。
介绍（英）	In 1454, the court of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) adopted a system of insignia of rank for civil and military officials based on that of China's Ming dynasty (1368–1644). Square badges of embroidered birds and animals on silk were worn on the front (hyung) and back (bae) of official costumes. They are clearly differentiated from the round badges embroidered with a dragon (called bo) worn by the king and the crown prince on the front, back, and shoulders of their court attire. Besides being ornamental, rank badges served as visible status markers in a society that prized strict social and political hierarchy. Initially permitted for wear by civil and military officials of the third rank and higher, eventually the use of rank badges was broadened to all nine ranks. Regulations on the specific animal imagery and correlating ranks evolved over the course of the Joseon dynasty. Rank badges with a pair of cranes were usually reserved for civil officials of the first to third rank. The system of hyungbae was suspended in 1899.
