The overall design of the Taoist robe is often regarded as an embodiment of imitating heaven and earth. For example, the shape of the long robe can symbolize the vastness of heaven and earth. The wide sleeves and the hem of the robe, resembling the expanse of the sky and the vastness of the earth, make the Taoist robe seen as a container of magical power. It can store the magical power cultivated by the Taoist, like an invisible treasure trove of energy. The various patterns, runes, and other decorative elements on the Taoist robe may all be considered as seals or marks of magical power.
