Why is southern Fujian Buddhist? But when people die, they call them Taoist priests?
As a custom in southern Fujian, China's native religion is Taoism, so the deceased should ask a Taoist to practice it. It has nothing to do with religious belief. If you want to invite lay disciples or Buddhist disciples who need Buddhist practices, you will only use Buddhist practices if the deceased has confessed before his death. There are Buddhist monks who have contributed to the local area. On the day of death, monks or nuns will also come to the deceased's home to cross over.
