Royal Chinese customs

I found information that "..It was customary for wealthy men and women in the late empire to grow the nails of their little fingers extremely long as a sign of their rank. They often wore decorative gold and silver nail guards to protect their nails..." This is defiantly royal way of showing their status in society and their nobility because only they can do nothing and grow their nail, unlike working class people who work all the time with their hands.
