Daoism; Taoism (indigenous Chinese religion)
Formed during the Eastern Han dynasty and flourished during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Followers honor Zhang Daoling as the Heavenly Master (天师), leading to the alternate name '天师道' (Way of the Heavenly Master). The religion later split into many sects and worships Laozi as its founder, honorifically titled '太上老君' (Tai Shang Lao Jun).
