This was
particularly true in the seventies, as austerity drives caused the Vietnamese to shelve the ao dai as an impractical
luxury. It was only with the brightening economy of the late eighties and the early nineties that the ao dai made its
comeback and today, the dress is a common sight on Vietnamese streets. It is the standard uniform of schoolgirls. It can
be seen on office women going about their daily tasks. Respectable matrons doing their morning grocery shopping often
step out in ao dais. Traditionally, the colour of the ao dai indicated age: pure white for girls, soft pastel colours
for young, marriageable woman and strong, rich colours for the older ladies.

Chrysanthemum symbolizes cleanness and longevity in the Chinese culture, and is
one of the four plants of virtue along with plum blossom, orchid and bamboo,
the so-called "Four Men of Honor". Chrysanthemum blossoms in late autumn when
other flowers have withered in the cold frost. It is known as a flower that
blooms in defiance of the frost and has always been loved and praised by poets
and painters. When it appears in an auspicious design with the pine tree, they
mean "prolonging the life span." When it is together with the magpie, the two
form a design meaning a happy family. These designs are popular among the
Chinese people.
