====Scarlet Robe====
The Scarlet Robe ( 絳袍Jiangpao ) is a kind of Ritual Dress ( 法衣Fayi ) which the Ritual Master ( 法師Fashi ) wears in large-scale rituals. Its two sleeves are so big as to touch the ground. When the ritual master opens his arms, the sleeves and the body form a square symbolizing the earth with four angles. The Scarlet Robe is embroidered with magnificent golden ornaments on the sleeves and body. In rituals, the Ritual Master often wears a Black Robe under the Scarlet Robe. Ritual masters of the Orthodox Oneness Sect often wear this in rituals for offering petitions. The Ritual Master, [[Pacing the Dipper]] ( 步罡Bugang ) with his scarlet robe flying, looks like a real Immortal communicating between Heaven and Man.
===Daoist Dress====
The term ' Daoist Dress' ( 道衣Dao Yi ) is the general name for the clothes Daoists wear in rituals and daily life. Nowadays it usually refers to what Daoists wear in rituals, including the Repentance Dress ( 懺衣Chan Yi ), the Daoist Robe ( 道袍Dao Pao ), the Ritual Dress ( 法衣Fa Yi ), and the Scarlet Robe ( 絳衣Jiang Yi ). However, in rituals, in contrast with the Ritual Dress of ritual masters, the term Daoist Dress refers only to the clothes of ordinary Daoists, which are inferior to Ritual Dress in look and quality.
===Repentance Dress====
The Repentance Dress ( 懺衣 Chan Yi ) is a kind of Daoist Dress ( 道衣 Dao Yi ), which ordinary Daoists wear when reciting scriptures for repentance in rituals. Of simple make, the Repentance Dress is scarlet in Golden Register Rituals ( 金籙齋 Jinlu Zhai ) and yellow in Yellow Register Rituals ( 黃籙齋 Huanglu Zhai ). It is made of cotton or linen, with few ornaments, except for an embroidered crane on the chest or back, and sometimes Trigrams5 on the sleeves.
