Daoist Priest of Mount Lao (Laoshan Daoshi 崂山道士) is a fun short film from China done in the puppet animation style and originally comes from a collection of folktales called Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 聊斋志异, written by Pusong Ling 蒲松龄.

Daoist Priest of Mount Lao tells the tale of Wang Qi 王七, a poor scholar who becomes obsessed with a book about Daoist immortals. He seeks out a Daoist master on Mount Lao who can teach him but ends up learning the hard way that the cultivation of virtue is a foundational aspect of Daoist training that can’t be neglected.

The story highlights the importance of cultivating virtue 德 in Daoist cultivation.
