Is Zongmen a word?

Clan has many meanings, which can refer to the same clan, blood clan, or the practices of ancestors. Generally speaking, it is a direct descendant of Chinese civilization, which refers to direct inheritance. The common "Zongmen" in Buddhism is the method of focusing on Zen. Neo-miscellaneous scholars call themselves "the clan" and take "all-inclusive and comprehensive" as their school, which is a school of thought contending for a hundred schools of thought.

The difference between clan and sect lies in:

The meaning of sects is to stand on their own feet and form their own school. And sects are just branches of sects, with the same meaning. For example, China is made up of 56 ethnic groups. If we compare China to a sect, then we Han people are a branch of China, and Han people are also called authentic China. Taking the novel as an example, the Wuji Sword School in Eight Dragons was later divided into two factions, East and West, so the sect belongs to the clan or sect.
