How are the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism divided in Journey to the West?

The boss of the Buddhist family is Rulai, with many disciples, and his territory is in the Western Elysium.

The Taoist boss is the Jade Emperor, and the heavens are under his control.

1.Journey to the West is the representative of China's gods and demons novels, and Taoism is my country's original in this regard, and Buddhism is also a popular thing in magic, so it is natural to have both.

2.Taoism has long existed in the Ming Dynasty, and so has Buddhism, so there is no need to worry about time.

It is not entirely correct to say that "there are two schools of Buddhism and Taoism", it can be seen from reading "Journey to the West" that those pure Taoist priests are all negative characters, such as centipede essence, Che Chiguo three Taoist priests, etc., if you regard the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother and the gods of heaven as Taoist people, you will also find that most of them are selfish and incompetent, and Taoist representatives such as Fuxian, Taiyi and even Nezha in the Romance of the Gods have also become Buddhist people in "Journey to the West". This is because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty favored Taoist priests and abandoned the government, Wu Chengen hated Taoist priests and even Taoism, so he used "Journey to the West" to satirize Taoist priests, and also reflected the dark politics of the time from the side, to put it bluntly, in "Journey to the West", Taoism is just a foil to Buddhism from the opposite side.
