Not a heckuva lot different from Shenzhou-13.

It seems that the taikonauts ran out of inspiration...

There is something to said for a consistent motif.

In this case, the patches convey the status of the Chinese space station at the time of the mission, which is informative if nothing else.

I don’t know whether this patch is flown or not. Maybe somebody has Chinese friends to translate the patch certificate?

It is difficult to establish. These patches are released by China Post. And up till Shenzhou-13, their patches differed from the ones worn by the crew in small details. The SZ-14 seems to be identical however. But are they from the same manufacturer?
