Taoism regards The Three Purities (the Supreme Pure One, the Jade Pure One and the Grand Pure One) as the highest powers in the Taoist pantheon. Ever since the appearance of Zhang Daoling in the later Eastern Han Dynasty, the Ancestral Deities of Taoism was the main deity being worshipped in all Taoist schools and sects. Taoism is subdivided into the branches of “Philosophical Taoism” and “Religious Taoism”. Initially, Yu Xu Palace was categorised under the branch of Philosophical Taoism. Still, after the religion was brought into Singapore, it took Religious Taoism as its fundamental belief and Philosophical Taoism as the path to attaining the highest state of spiritual enlightenment.

Deities that were worshipped in traditional Taoism were San Qing Si Yu and Wu Lao Qi Zhen. However, apart form San Qing Si Yu, Yu Xu Palace (Singapore) also came under the instructions of the Three Saints (Tai Shang Lao Jun, Yuan Shu Tian Zun, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu), with the Twelve Ultimate Deities as the main deities of worship. In addition, Yu Xu Palace also worships the Tau Sui, respective Gods of Fortune, Dragon Deity, Tiger Deity, Earth Deity, Silver Deity, Gold Seity and Dragon God. Yu Xu Palace also practises the twelve bows and twenty-four kneels instead of the classical three kneels and nine kowtows.
