Are there any famous Taoist priests in modern times?

Zhu Chengde is one of the few Taoist priests who entered Wudang Mountain for more than 30 years after 1948 and was recognized by Taoist friends and society. He was one of the few new Taoists in Wudang Taoism in those years.

Zhu Chengde's collective at that time was: Zixiaogong Production Brigade, Laojuntang Management Area, Caodian People's Commune, Xunxian County, Hubei Province. In the production team, Zhu Chengde and his team members (some of them are Taoist priests) plow in spring and sow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter, cut wood and burn charcoal, accumulate fertilizer and pick up dung, drive wild boar away and take care of crops. In addition to productive labor, Zhu Chengde is also committed to monasticism, and often regards martial arts as a domestic skill. 1963, Zhu Chengde was accidentally knocked down by a cow and fell from a hillside several meters high, resulting in a broken rib. He insisted on internal strength conditioning in Taoist temple, supplemented by external application and oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine, and cured the fall after more than three months.

From Zhu Chengde's experience as a monk, we can see that he came to Wudang Mountain in 1 and 1950 and became a Taoist in the temple, which shows that the new China protects freedom of religious belief. Wudang Taoism is broad-minded and accepts true believers; 2. When many primitive Taoist priests went home to live a secular life for personal reasons or social changes, Zhu Chengde and other devout believers insisted on their beliefs and later became noble and virtuous in the hearts of religious people; 3. The local government and the masses in Wudang treat Zhu Chengde and other Taoist priests equally. Capable Taoist priests are captains, accountants and storekeepers in the production team, and the elderly and infirm Taoist priests implement the "five guarantees"; Some people say that Zhu Chengde was "reformed through labor" after liberation, which is a disrespect for historical facts, a slander on Wudang Mountain cadres and the masses, and a disrespect for Zhu Chengde. If the party and the government vigorously develop production, encourage people from all walks of life to love labor and collectives, and take the road of combining workers and peasants, it is "labor reform." Then, party member cadres, young students and intellectuals are the main forces subjected to this "labor reform". Democrats, Christians and religious believers are relatively taken care of.
