1. Disciples who learn Taoism:
Disciples who learn Taoism are also called converted disciples. Short for students, students who have never been formally apprenticed to the teacher can learn from the teacher as long as they pay a certain tuition fee. Of course, due to special opportunities, Master does not charge. A disciple who learns Taoism can't preach him. He is his master, only a teacher. Master only has the obligation to "teach" his disciples, and has no other obligations and responsibilities.
2. Junior disciple:
Beginners, literally speaking, the house used to have a yard and an inner room. A "beginner disciple" has just entered the courtyard gate and become a member (disciple) of this Sect, but he can't enter the "inner room" at will.
Beginners are different from those who learn Taoism. They need to formally learn from their teachers and abide by the rules of this school. Master has certain requirements for beginners, such as good moral character, certain talent, certain economic foundation, good attitude and mentality, understanding, and willingness to contribute to our school.
Beginners often come from disciples who learn Tao, and some are introduced by intermediaries. In another case, Master took a fancy to them and took them on his own initiative.
3. Disciples who entered the room
A disciple who entered the room won the favor and recognition of Master among many beginners, and gained the unique skills and secrets of Master not passing on other disciples. He can become a direct disciple or successor of Master in the future.
4. disciples
Disciples are also generally called "personal disciples", that is, successors taught by Master himself.
5. Close disciple
Closed disciple refers to the last disciple. After this apprentice accepted it, he "closed the door" and stopped accepting apprentices.
Taoism is a native religion in China, with "Tao" as its highest belief.
Taoism, the concept of China's ancient worship of ghosts and gods, is based on the thoughts of Huang and Lao Taoism, and has inherited the immortal magic since the Warring States Period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including Taiping Dao and Wudoumi Dao.
Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Shi Tian, officially founded the Youth League, with a history of 1800 years. Taoism is a polytheistic worship, and worshipping immortals personifies Taoism's belief in "Tao".
Taoist priests are Taoist priests, and there are more than 30,000 Taoist priests in China. Temples are places for Taoist activities, and there are more than 2,000 registered temples in China.
