The Daoist name had to be in line with the thoughts and principles of Taoism. Taoism attached great importance to the harmony of nature, governing by inaction, and the unity of body and mind, so the name of the Dharma should reflect these characteristics. He could take some things from the natural world, such as mountains and rivers, flowing clouds, carefree, etc., or take some words related to physical and mental cultivation, such as calming the heart, clearing the heart, cultivation, etc. The requirements for the dharma names of Daoists were even stricter. They needed to fully reflect the philosophy of Daoism and the meaning of Daoism's cultivation.
The name of Daoism could be named according to the culture and ideology of Daoism. In the Tao Te Ching, one could find some names with deep meaning, such as Chen Daoming, Ming Dao, Xue Daoheng, Yang Shidao, Xie Daoyun, etc. In addition, the name of Taoism could also be inspired by the famous sayings and aphorisms in the Taoist classics, such as the famous sayings of Lao Tzu and Zhuang Zi. In addition, the names of Daoists could also be borrowed from the names of Daoist immortals, such as the Three Pure Ones and Five Elders, the Six Imperial Heavenly Emperors, and the Golden Mother Wood God. The names of Taoists usually carried the image of immortals. They could use words that represented mountains, forests, seclusion, seclusion, wild cranes, fishing, wind, smoke, and clouds. There were also some surnames related to Taoism, such as Xie, Shang, Mao, Ao, Mei, Liu, Gu, Yu, Zhong Li, Baili, Zhuge, Linghu, Dugu, etc. In short, the name of Taoism should be rich in the artistic conception and characteristics of Taoist culture.
The reason why Taoist names were called "rain" was because in Chinese characters, the word "rain" was mostly related to the weather, nature, and astronomy. The ancients worshipped nature and bestowed divinity upon natural phenomena. Taoism inherited this characteristic and avoided the name of a certain immortal in the sky to show respect. Instead, it used the word "rain" and a combination of words. In addition, the Tao Te Ching was also an important reference for naming. Combining the cultural implications of the book to give a name, it was both meaningful and pleasant to hear, not cliché. As for the titles of other Daoists, the Daoists referred to each other as fellow Daoists and fellow Daoists. To the older Daoists, they referred to each other as old cultivators, Daoist brothers, senior brothers, and so on. Female immortals were usually called Progenitors. In Daoism, those who had attained the Dao were respectfully called Heavenly Masters. In general, the Taoist name was based on respect, worship, and cultural meaning.
Daoists believed that the world was Dao. Dao could be Dao, but it was not the same as Dao. It was also void. In addition, in the Taoist theory of the Three Worlds, there were three worlds: Heaven, Earth, and Human (the three worlds described in the Book of Changes were the three worlds), and there were also three worlds: Heaven, Earth, and Water (the three worlds were divided by Heaven, Earth, and Water). The three worlds here could also refer to the entire world or the universe.
