The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain was a famous online novel that involved some intellectual property rights. Although the storyline and character setting of the Taoist priest coming down the mountain were somewhat original, it also borrowed some elements from other literary works in the process of creation. Therefore, if the inspiration for the creation of the work came from other literary works or quoted elements from other works, there may be intellectual property rights violation issues. For example, in the story of the Taoist priest going down the mountain, there was a plot where the protagonist saw an ancient mural while visiting a temple. This might lead to the work involving a reference to an ancient literary work. If the work was widely spread and gained great influence, it might constitute intellectual property violation. In order to avoid the problem of intellectual property rights, authors and editors should try their best to avoid violating the intellectual property rights of others and abide by relevant laws and regulations in the creative process. If the author violated the intellectual property rights of others in the process of creation, he would have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
