Nowadays, Taoist priests should not only master the basic knowledge and rituals of Taoism, but also have certain cultural literacy and social communication skills in order to adapt to the development and needs of modern society. Moreover, to be a Taoist priest, you need to pass Taoist examinations, including written examinations and interviews. The specific rules are determined by Taoist temple. Therefore, if you want to be a Taoist, you should not only have faith and enthusiasm, but also have a certain learning ability and level.

Of course, not all Taoist priests need a college degree or above. Some Taoist priests learn from Master since childhood, or they are handed down from their families. They may not have received formal education, but they have rich practical experience and profound skills. These Taoists are also an important part of Taoism and play an irreplaceable role in the development and inheritance of Taoism.
