In modern times, Zhengyi priests in Taiwan wear three types of robe. The
haiqing #¥iw ("sea-blue") is a single robe of black-bluish hues. The daopao jl!
;ffg ("robe of the Dao") is a robe worn by those of middle rank, red in color
with motifs embroidered on the front, back, and sleeves, such as the eight tri-
grams (*bagua) and cranes. Thejiangyi ~~ ("crimson mantle") is a vestment
of the highest rank; it is square-shaped and its basic col or is red or orange.
Representations of the Taoist universe are embroidered on the back: on top
the constellation of the Three Terraces (santai = §" three pairs of stars .in
Ursa Major), the Sun and the Moon, and the twenty-eight lunar lodges (*xiu); in
the middle a nine-storied tower surrounded by dragons and cloudy pneumas;
and on the hem, waves and Mount *Kunlun. The high priest (gaogong ~ J)];
see *daozhang) wears the jiangyi for the rites of the Announcement (*fabiao),
Presenting the Memorial (*baibiao), and Land of the Way (*daochang). In the
*Quanzhen order, the ordinary robe is the dagua -}(1i~ ("great gown") while
the formal vestments are the deluo l~m (an indigo ritual garment) and the
paozi ;ffg '"f ("robe"). The blue color of these robes represents the east and
indicates descent from the Quanzhen first patriarch, Donghua dijun *~1ff

the taishang huayi "* L 1t ~ ("mantle of highest transformation") is worn as
the most formal vestment for rituals.
