Changes

Communitarian Daoists, traditionally referred to as "masters", are also present. Their religious activities belong to folk Daoism combined with elements from Buddhism and the native Tujia religion. Some of the priests have finished apprenticeship and some have not. Those who have finished apprenticeship have to undergo technique-transmitting rituals in order to be qualified for independent services and important rituals like managing funerals, making offerings and sacrifices, and mourning the dead, etc. Those who have not finished apprenticeship can only guard the earth, connect dragons' ridges, help the litany, chase ghosts, and pacify houses, etc.
