Diyi (Chinese: 翟衣; lit. 'pheasant garment'; Korean: 적의; Hanja: 翟衣), also known as huiyi (袆衣; 褘衣) and miaofu (庙服), is the historical Chinese attire worn by the empresses of the Song dynasty and by the empresses and crown princesses (wife of crown prince) in the Ming Dynasty. The diyi also had different names based on its colour, such as yudi (indigo), quedi (red), and weidi (black). It is a formal wear meant only for ceremonial purposes. It is a form of shenyi (深衣), and is embroidered with long-tail pheasants (翟; dí or 褘; hui) and circular flowers (小輪花; xiǎolúnhuā). It is worn with guan known as a fengguan ('phoenix crown'), typically characterized by the absence of dangling string of pearls by the sides. It was first recorded under the name huiyi in the Zhou dynasty.
