The development of Taoism was rather complicated, and the development of its disciples was closely related to it. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, different schools of Taoism began to appear. For example, Zhang Jiao founded the Taiping Road. He used the method of healing with talisman water to preach and attract many believers. At the same time, Zhang Daoling founded the Five Buckets of Rice Sect (Tianshi Sect). When believers were sick, they had to repent their sins and pay five buckets of rice after they recovered. The Taoist disciples of this period were mainly ordinary people who were attracted by these doctrines and methods of preaching. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong's appearance unified Taoism in theory. He proposed that there were immortals in the world, that people could live forever, and that mortals could cultivate to become immortals. This theoretical development might attract more people with knowledge or a strong pursuit of immortality to become Taoist disciples, making the composition of Taoist disciples more diverse. During the Southern Dynasty, Tao Hongjing sorted out the Taoist immortals and determined the three highest immortals, which helped to perfect the Taoist system and might attract more people who wanted to worship clearly to become Taoist disciples. In the development of Taoism, Wang Chongyang's establishment of Quanzhen Taoism was also an important node. He advocated the unification of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, attracting many disciples. His disciple, Ma Danyang, was originally a rich family's son who abandoned his official position to learn Taoism. After obtaining Wang Chongyang's true teachings, he went to Zhiyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain to establish Quanzhen Sect, Sun Bu 'er was his only female disciple and was also Ma Danyang's wife, so he established Quanzhen Sect's Qingjing Sect. Tan Chuduan was once cured by Wang Chongyang and followed Wang Chongyang to cultivate. After Wang Chongyang passed away, he established Quanzhen Sect's Namo Sect. Hao Datong and the others were also Wang Chongyang's disciples. Each of them was related to the development and inheritance of Quanzhen Sect. They also had their own disciples who inherited the sect's thoughts. These all constituted a part of the development of Taoist disciples. As Taoism gained the support of emperors and nobles or was associated with the royal family in different historical periods, such as the support of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty, the influence of Taoism continued to expand, and more people from different classes became disciples of Taoism, including those who might join Taoism due to political factors and social ethos. They promoted the inheritance of Taoist doctrines and the development of sects to varying degrees.
