衮飾 Dragon-embroidered adornment: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 公 + 本. Zheng Zhong's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: '衮 (gǔn) is dragon robes.' Zheng Xuan says: 'Black robes painted with dragons.' The Erya says: '衮 means robes.' The Shuowen says: 'The robes with coiled dragons worn by the Son of Heaven when sacrificing to ancient kings, embroidered on the lower skirts, with a single coiled dragon per panel; it was the garment of high ministers.' The Shuowen says it takes the clothing radical (衣) and 公 for phonetic.
