'flying fish clothing'), also called feiyu mangyi (Chinese: 飞鱼蟒衣; pinyin: Fēiyú mǎngyī; lit.
[4][5] The flying fish decoration looks very similar to the python (mang) pattern on the mangfu (Chinese: 蟒服; lit.
The feiyufu is typically in the form of tieli (a robe with a y-shaped cross collar, with either broad or narrow sleeves and pleats below the waist) decorated with the feiyu pattern.
[9] The tieli (Chinese: 贴里) originated in the Yuan dynasty in a form of Mongol robe known as terlig.
[10] After being adopted in the Ming dynasty, the tieli became longer and its overall structure was made closer to the shenyi system in order to integrate Han Chinese rituals.
