Wang Chongyang advocated the equality of the three religions, pointing out that "Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the three religions have never been the same", and was honored as one of the "Northern Five Ancestors".

He believed that alcohol, sex, wealth, and gas would make people sink and lose their spirit, so they should be simple in their life and food in order to succeed in their cultivation. In addition to abstaining from alcohol, sex, wealth and energy, Wang Chongyang also taught his disciples to keep their hearts quiet, live a simple and natural life, and cultivate their lives.
