As an important era in Chinese history, Song Dynasty was endowed with the characteristics of social, economic and cultural transformation. Daoism in this period was also recorded in history as the development of ancient traditions and the birth of new traditions. Daoism, as a local religion, has shown unusual momentum both in theory and in practice. From the compilation of Daozang under the dynastic policy, to the advent of many ritual books, to the establishment of Quanzhen Daoism (全真道) in the North and the establishment of the authority of Zhengyi Daoism (正一道) in the South, and the emergence of Southern Lineage (南宗), all demonstrate the new tradition of Daoism. The appearance of Thunder Rites (Lei Fa) in Daoism became an epoch-making event in this series of phenomena, which had a significant and far-reaching influence on the development of Daoism thereafter.
