Before the establishment of the jungle system of Buddhism, the monks in the temple were divided into three grades, from high to low, namely the master of the temple, the Buddha (also known as "Tsuina"); After the establishment of the Buddhist jungle system, according to the size of the temple, the number of deacons is different, but according to the position, it can be roughly divided into three levels:

1. Presiding monk: Also known as "abbot" and "monk in the hall", in charge of the temple's practice (education), temple affairs (administration), discipline (law), preaching (preaching), economy, finance and so on. He is the owner of the First Temple.

Second, first-class and second-order: under the abbot, there are second-order things, which are equivalent to the second-class cultural relics of ancient courts, so they are called second-order.

1. Xu Xi's important deacons are: the first seat (that is, the seat of more than one of the four class directors in ancient times), Xitang (one of the four class directors), Houtang (one of the four class directors), the hall owner (one of the four class directors), the secretary (responsible for the work of the temple secretary), the book collector (librarian) and the patron.

2. Xu Dong's important deacons are: the supervisor (the master of the ancient temple, commonly known as Master), the auxiliary temple (the supervisor), Na Wei (the supervisor of the temple, who manages the chores of monks and nuns in the temple), (also known as "the monk's value" and Na Wei's assistant), Dianzuo (the head of the zhaitang) and Yibo (also known as "the waiter").

Deacons: Each department has one post, including rice head, vegetable head, fire head, water head, bowl head (hall), hour head (bell ringing), drum head (drum ringing), door head, garden head (vegetable garden), bath head (knowing bath), head (net head) and tower.
