A sect with deep heritage and an unbroken lineage should have a Taoist tradition and various other distinct teachings, just as the main trunk of a tree is vital to its branches and leaves, serving a significant role in mutual confirmation and promotion of growth.

To date, no one could clearly say just how many notable distinct teachings there were to speak of!
