Daoists are divided into Literary Daoists and Martial Daoists. In ancient times, Martial Daoists were known as the Five Daoists, a name that gradually evolved into Martial Daoists over time. The Five Daoists do not mean five people. They represent metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and were called the Five-Element Daoists before the name slowly changed to Martial Daoists.
