Extended data:
There is little difference between Taoist schools in theory and doctrine, so there is almost no theoretical argument between them, but they criticize each other in practicing prescriptions; On the contrary, the mutual learning between factions is more prominent. Not only Zuo Fu schools learn from each other, but also Zuo Fu schools and training schools learn from each other. This phenomenon was especially obvious after the Southern Song Dynasty.
For example, Shen Xiao School, Wei Qing School and Longhu School, which appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, all attached great importance to the cultivation of Neidan, and even emphasized that Neidan was the basis of practice and was combined with spells. Quanzhen Taoism was also used as a ritual practice in the later period. The result of this mutual learning is the further integration of the characteristics of various factions. This is also one of the reasons why Taoism can unite with each other into two schools in the later period.
Taoist school is good at eclecticism. In addition to learning from each other, they also learn more from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism (they struggled with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but mainly concentrated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties). Although the early Wudou Midao and Taiping Daodao did not learn from Buddhism, they did learn from Confucianism. After that, all factions learned Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
