Two swindlers who claimed to be weavers said that they could weave the most beautiful cloth in the world. This created the emperor's interest in wearing clothes. The liar also said that this kind of cloth is not only beautiful in color and pattern, but also has a strange feature: anyone who is incompetent or hopelessly stupid can't see this dress. This is most suitable for the emperor.
Because the emperor not only likes to dress beautifully and doesn't ask about state affairs, but also has great distrust of his staff. Therefore, the new clothes have the function of killing two birds with one stone, and soon cheated the emperor's trust.

The Story Background of The Emperor's New Clothes;
The emperor's new clothes were written on 1837. At that time, the Danish people were deeply exploited by their own feudal class and the British bourgeoisie, and lived a poor life of hunger and cold, while the feudal ruling class was extravagant. Faced with such social reality, Andersen adapted a Spanish folk story into The Emperor's New Clothes, pointing his sharp edge at the leader of the feudal ruling class.
Ruthlessly mocked the ugly behavior of the nobility and the imperial court, and deeply analyzed the social diseases at that time.
