What is a black cassock?

Black cassock is a Taoist priest in Doubu. Taoist costume refers to Taoist costume, which belongs to the traditional costume system of Han nationality. Also known as "vestment", "Taoist clothing" and "Taoist clothing". Taoist costumes are the traditional costumes of the Chinese nation (Han nationality). Social costumes are often different with the development of the times, but the interior of Taoism remains basically unchanged. The Book of Jade of the Emperor says: The ancients wore clothes, and the Yellow Emperor wore them when he was around. Since then, Wu Zhao and Wang Ling have become Khufu, and China has changed a little. When Emperor Yangdi traveled eastward, he was hunting, all of them were Khufu. Only the clothes of Taoist priests still exist, so they are called Huang Guan.

One of the characteristics of Taoist robes is "unconventional", that is to say, no matter what clothes people wear in society, Taoist priests remain unchanged, which is actually a manifestation of Taoist maverick character.

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

Although the Qing Dynasty shaved their hair and changed their clothes, non-party Taoist priests were spared, and the clothes of the Han people have been preserved by Taoist priests to this day. This is also a great contribution of Taoism to China culture.
