Certain groups of people were exempted from the Tifayifu, including women, children, and clergies. Throughout the Qing dynasty, Han Chinese women continued to wear the styles of clothing from the Ming dynasty. Also, neither Taoist priests nor Buddhist monks were required to wear the queue by the Qing; they continued to wear their traditional hairstyles: completely shaved heads for Buddhist monks, and long hair in the traditional Chinese topknot for Taoist priests. Taoist priests continued to wear Taoist traditional dress (a style of hanfu called "daopao") and did not adopt Qing Manchu dress. After the Qing was toppled in the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, the Taoist dress and topknot was adopted by the ordinary gentry and "Society for Restoring Ancient Ways" (復古會) on the Sichuan and Hubei border where the White Lotus and Gelaohui operated.
