 Traditionally , the Chinese language does not have terms defining lay people adhering to the doctrines or the practices of Taoism , who fall instead within the field of folk religion . " Taoist " , in the <unk> literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries , was used as a translation of <unk> ( <unk> , " master of the Tao " ) , or " Taoist priest " , that is applied to the ordained clergymen of a Taoist institution who " represent Taoist culture on a professional basis " , are experts of Taoist liturgy , and therefore can employ this knowledge and ritual skills for the benefit of a community .
