2. Do not have real Taoist knowledge and belief. Fake Taoist priests often only know a little fur knowledge, do not have profound theoretical basis and practical experience, and may even not understand the basic etiquette and taboos of Taoism.

3. Conduct activities for profit. Fake Taoist priests often attract pilgrims, collect fees and seek benefits in the name of spreading Taoist culture and praying for disaster relief.

4. There is no formal inheritance and mentoring relationship. False Taoists often acquire some incorrect Taoist knowledge through self-study or other means without the inheritance of orthodox Taoism and the relationship between master and apprentice, which is the basis of their own "Tao".

Categories of Taoist priests:

At the gate, there are all kinds of classifications. Sanyansi Mountain divided the Taoist priests into nine categories, namely, Taoist priests in the Cave God Department, Taoist priests in the Gao Xuan Department and Taoist priests in the Sheng Xuan Department, and divided the female Taoist priests into eight categories, namely, female officials in the orthodox school, female officials in the Cave God Department and female officials in the Gao Xuan Department.

There are six kinds of Taoist priests in the three caves: "1. Innocent Taoist priest, 2. Immortal Taoist, 3. Mountain Taoist, 4. Monks, 5. Taoism is at home, 6. Taoist priests offer wine. " This is divided according to the realm of practice.

Quanzhen Taoism rose after the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and a monk system was formulated, stipulating that Quanzhen Taoist priests could not get married and had to become monks and live in the palace. Since then, Taoists have been divided into monks and non-monks. Quanzhen Taoist is a monk, unmarried, vegetarian and lives in a Taoist temple.

Men are the avenue, and women are the kundao. They are all long hair, tied in a bun at the top of their heads and can be crowned. Orthodox Taoists can get married and eat meat. Orthodox disciples must go through missionary work, and Quanzhen disciples must accept headscarves and become real Taoist priests.
