In Taoism, Daoist names and Daoist names were two different ways of addressing people. They were mainly used to distinguish the identity and status of Taoist priests. A daoist name was usually a name or title given by a daoist priest, similar to modern alias or pen name. A daoist name usually consisted of a single word, word, or sentence. It had a certain meaning and symbolic meaning. For example, if there was a Taoist priest named "White Cloud", then his name would be "Mister White Cloud" or "Daoist White Cloud". A Daoist name was a form of address for a Daoist priest's identity and status. A Daoist name was usually made up of two characters. The first character was the Daoist priest's family name or sect, and the second character was a name the Daoist priest had given himself. For example, if there was a Taoist priest named "Zhang Zongliang", then his name would be "Taoist Zhang Zongliang" or "Mr. Zhang Zongliang". The difference between a Daoist name and a Daoist name was that a Daoist name was a self-proclaimed identity and status in the life and cultivation of a Daoist priest. It had a certain symbolic meaning, while a Daoist name was a name or title given by a Daoist priest, a summary and evaluation of his cultivation.
