Also the seat of the Zhengyi Daoist Celestial Master is at Longhu mountain. That's where his mansion and temples are.
Shaolin Kung-fu is associated with Mahayana Buddhism at Shaolin temple. Shaolin was originally attributed to Buddhist deity Vajrapani before the fake story about Bodhidharma inventing it was written in the 17th century.
Wudang martial arts and Taichi are associated with Daoism at the Daoist temples in the Wudang mountains, said to be invented by Zhang Sanfeng.
Chaquan is associated with Muslims.
Daoism took over as the state religion of China in the Tang dynasty under Emperor Wuzong in 844-845 and mass persecuted other religions.
Daoists banned Buddhism (both normal Mahayana and Vajrayana), Nestorian Christianity, Manichaenism and Zoroastrianism and destroyed their temples and churches and seized all their assets and defrocked all their clerics.
You get a steady drip feed of bullshit on how Chinese don't have organised religion.
Chinese do have organised religion.
Pointing to syncretic Daoist-Buddhist-folk-Confucian temples, is like poiting to syncretic Hindu-Muslim temples in India or Southeast Asia, and using it to claim Indians have no concept of organised religions and that there aren't Hindus or Muslims but everyone worships both Allah and Krishna.
The syncretic "three religion" temples in China have nothing to do with Orthodox Daoism (Zhengyi and Quanzhen) or Orthodox Buddhism
No, most Chinese don't go to both Buddhist and Daoist temples,they don't have altars where Buddha is next to Laozi.
Folk religionists sometimes add most random gods but even they gave a core pantheon of permanent gods (earth god tudigong, kitchen God, Guan Yu).
Zhengyi Daoists don't worship gods not canonised by the Celestial Master.
