Overview
The term identifies clothing by its ceremonial role. In the distinction described by the source, fayi refers to the ritual master's vestments, while daoyi denotes clothing worn by other Daoists participating in the service. Daofu is the broader term for Daoist clothing, so it should not automatically be read as the name of a particular ritual vestment.
