As the main disseminator and image spokesman of the profound Taoist culture, Taoist priests should attract the congregation in some mysterious way, preach and teach to dispel doubts, devote themselves to their religion and complete their own practice at the same time. Taoist priests are more natural and unrestrained than monks. Therefore, it is also an extremely eye-catching role in daily social life.

Usually the actual identity is a witch, fairy or goddess, which often appears in folklore and fairy tales. Usually their characters are either kind or vicious, and their descriptions often become ambiguous. With the research of modern science on nature and medicine, the claimed ability of witch doctors is seriously doubted, and witch doctors are considered as feudal superstitious practitioners pretending to be ghosts.

Warlocks were witches in ancient times, used to exorcise demons, and now they have a profession, mostly in rural areas, and they are generally liars.
