In Taoism, full-time Taoists who believe in Taoist teachings and practice Taoism are called Taoists.
Tao Jing said: "Body and mind are logical, only the Tao is obedient, and the Tao is the thing, so it is praised." For female Taoist priests, they are called "Taoist priests". In the past, Taoist priests were also called Huang Guan, while Taoist priests were called female champions. This is because Taoist books say that ancient people's clothes came from the regulations formulated by the Yellow Emperor. Great changes have taken place since ancient times, only the Taoist priests have not changed, so some people call them Huang Guan.
There are several names for Taoist priests: (-) Master: it is a title of respect for Taoist priests who are proficient in teachings and can be teachers; A Taoist who is diligent in learning dharma and can preside over fasting ceremonies is also called a mage. (2) refiner; A Taoist who has been practicing for a long time, is highly respected and thoughtful can be called a refined teacher. (3) Heirs, grandmasters, lawyers and masters: Quanzhen Taoist masters, and those who have not been ordained are called heirs; Those who are appointed are called masters; Those who have served as abbots are called lawyers; Those who quit the altar are called masters. (4) Shi Tian: This is the honorific title given by orthodox Taoists to Zhang Daoling, the founder of Shi Tian Taoism, and his descendants' hereditary teachers. (5) Abbot: This is the title of the host of the ten-square jungle Taoist temple of Quanzhen Road, and the quiet room where he lives is also called the abbot. (6) Prison: This is the name of the Taoist Quanzhen School, and it is the general manager of panoramic affairs after the study. (7) Abbot: A Taoist who upholds Taoism and has been in charge of affairs in temples of two major schools of Taoism can be called an abbot. According to the Ten Rules of Doors, "Above the abbot, you must be old and virtuous, upright and upright, dignified in words and deeds, knowledgeable, and learn from the dense forest, so that the devotees of the blessed land can take it." (8) Zhike: This is the name of the Taoist temple responsible for receiving foreign Taoist priests and guests.
