Are Taoist priests generally monks or laymen?

Your question is humorous. Of course, becoming a monk is a matter for Taoist priests, and this is a matter for full-time people. Taoism is mainly orthodox and quanzhen. Orthodox religion can practice at home, and Quanzhen religion must enter the Taoist temple; As for studying Taoism at home, I am a layman and more relaxed. A layman who teaches the truth is not easy to distinguish, and he looks exactly the same.
