Can Taoist priests eat meat?
The sects of Daomen have different inheritance, so they all have different requirements for the marriage of teachers and schools.

Masaichi:

In the Yuan Dynasty, Shi Tian Daoism was in charge of the various schools of Fu You, and the three schools of Shangqing, Lingbao and Shi Tian merged into one, which was called "Three Mountains and Fu You". Since then, famous schools such as Shangqing Lingbao, and even schools such as Lushan and Liurenxing, which take the grassroots route, have been in charge of Shi Tianfu. These Taoist schools are divided into two kinds of monks: those who live in the palace, those who don't marry and those who fast. Taoist priests who live in the fire can marry and have children, but they must also abide by the precepts of fasting. Among them, Shi Tian Taoism does not prohibit its disciples from getting married. Since Zhang Daoling, Shi Tian and Shi Tian have inherited this legal system as immediate family members.

Quanzhen:

Quanzhen religion and hermit religion, which are close to them, prohibit disciples from marrying each other because they pursue the pure Dan method of independent practice, and regard abstinence as an important standard of monasticism.

Therefore, Taoist priests under Quanzhen Sect are not allowed to get married, while quite a few Taoist priests in Zhengyi Sect lead a life of fire.

Taoist precepts

Taoist precepts are some norms that restrict Taoist thought and behavior. Taoist precepts have different contents according to different sects. Generally speaking, the commandments of Quanzhen school are stricter than those of Zuo Fu school. The main contents of the commandments are not to kill, not to drink and eat meat, not to steal, not to commit adultery and so on. Commandments are what believers must abide by, and Taoist priests must have a rite of passage to be counted as believers. According to the strictness of discipline, discipline can be divided into top-grade discipline, middle-grade discipline and inferior discipline. According to the musical number, there are three precepts, five precepts, eight precepts, ten precepts and twenty-seven precepts of Laojun.

In addition to the precepts, there are Taoist rules, which are a means of punishment for Taoist priests who violate the precepts. Specifically, different factions have different regulations.

On the basis of absorbing some contents of Buddhism and requirements of Confucianism, Taoist precepts have formed a set of their own unique contents. Taoist rules and regulations also change with time, and when they conflict with the laws of the regime, they will be adjusted appropriately.
