Taoist robe has two meanings:
One is derived from the "pleat" of Hanfu in ancient China (it is said that King Wu of Zhou personally made it). It evolved into Taoist robe in the Ming Dynasty and was worn by men at home in the Ming Dynasty. The outer garment can also be used as a robe or as a wedding dress for civilian men. Later, it disappeared under the policy of "shaving your hair and changing clothes" in the early Qing Dynasty. It is characterized by a straight collar, a wide lapel, slits on both sides, and a hidden hem. It is one of the most distinctive traditional costumes of the Han nation.
The other is Taoist clothing. Taoist robes refer to the outer robes worn by Taoists. It can be divided into more than six types of clothing, such as coat, deluo, ring garment, dharma garment, floral garment, and robe. All of them are fat and loose, with the meaning of containing the universe and separating the world. He also wears a straight collar to show his coolness. Taoist robes have been inherited in an orderly manner and have never been regarded as authentic Taoist robes
Taoist robes are blue, gray, yellow, brown, and dark red. The shape is: straight collar, big lapel, right gusset, big sleeves, and The collar is decorated with a white collar protector, and the body is hemmed on the left and right sides. The front placket (large and small plackets) is connected to an inner hem on each side. It is pleated and sewn to the inside of the back placket.
The Taoist robe was an extremely popular and typical casual garment in the Ming Dynasty. Since Taoism was the state religion in the Ming Dynasty, Taoist robes were regarded as one of the main daily attires from the emperor down to the common people. The shape of the Taoist robe is: straight collar, large placket, right hem, large sleeve cuffs, collar decorated with white collar protectors, left and right hems, front placket (large and small placket) with an inner hem on each side, pleated back seam On the inside of the back.
Taoist robes are also divided into two series: regular robes and legal robes. Regular clothes mainly include coats and Taoist robes.

The Taoist robe, also known as "Deluo", is similar to a coat. The sleeves are more than one foot eight inches wide, the length can be worn with the body, and the color is blue, which symbolizes the sky and the Qingyang energy of the east.
Extended information:
Taoist robes were very popular in the Ming Dynasty. It is almost the "standard outfit" for scholars, and that is why people call this kind of clothing Taoist robes, because scholars know many things. As fashion changes, the length of the body and the width of the sleeves of Taoist robes often change. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the "big sleeves" of the robes had developed to a somewhat exaggerated level, with the robes being as short as the knees, with the sleeves reaching the bottom of the boots.
Characteristics of Taoist robes:

The second is "no different clothes", which means they wear clothes made by the Yellow Emperor, that is, Han clothes, and no other clothes. Therefore, Taoist costumes have not changed much over thousands of years.
