Appellations and greetings commonly used in Taoism;

Ordinary believers, regardless of gender, can be regarded as Taoist priests and immortals when they meet Taoist priests. Because Taoist priests don't change their surnames, they are generally distinguished by surnames, such as Zhang Daochang and Li Xianchang. Taoist Quanzhen School calls male Taoist priests "avenues" and female Taoist priests "Kundao".

Old people are called "a grandfather" and "a grandfather". Taoists call each other "Taoist friends", which can also be called "fellow Taoists" or "fellow Taoists", and are respectfully called "Taoist brothers" and "senior brothers". Generally speaking, older Taoist priests can be called "old practice". Daodao and Kundao are all male appellations, and there is no distinction between "elder sister", "elder sister" and "Tao". Ordinary Taoists call themselves "incompetent", "junior" and "backward" among Taoists.

For the laity believers who call themselves "being original", let me explain here first that the poverty of "being original" does not mean poverty, but refers to shallow practice. People who believe in Taoism at home are called "believers" before conversion and "laity" after conversion.

Taoist friends often hold hands or bow when they meet or ask for something, and say "you are old and merciful" over and over again. "Compassion" is a common polite expression in Taoism. This is because Taoist disciples admire Laozi's three treasures: first, kindness, second, not being the first in the world, and putting them into daily words and deeds.
