Hello! I'm very new to Taoism and I'm also a very big fan of robes from Asia. Up until I started reading about Taoism, I had never seen the robes worn by the Taoist priests in Asia. I believe they're called Jiangyi and I think they're gorgeous.

My question: when I see videos of temple priests, I see there are a lot of different colors of Jiangyi worn amongst the priests. I was just curious what the significance of the different colors are? Like are they a sign of different rank within the temple or do they hold some other kind of meaning? Typical colors I've seen are red, yellow, green and purple.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
