Refers to the last disciple accepted by the teacher. After that, he will accept his disciples instead of his immediate disciples. This is called retransmitting disciples. Generally speaking, the closed disciple is the teacher's favorite disciple, so it has a special position among the disciples. For example, the closed disciple in a gang organization is called the "little boss", which is second only to the big disciple.

Today's "closed disciple" is often understood as a "proud pupil", which refers to the disciple that some teachers (or teachers) value most, and often gives them special teaching and individual guidance different from other disciples, so that they can get a "true biography".

2. Ordinary disciples

Students who have never formally worshipped the teacher are regarded as masters or teachers, and they can learn from the teacher as long as they pay a certain tuition fee. Of course, there are also some cases where there is no charge for special opportunities.

A disciple who learns Taoism can only say that he is a master or a teacher if he can't teach him. A master only has the obligation to "teach" his disciples, and has no other obligations and responsibilities.

The significance of tutorial system;

Tutorial system has a long history in China, that is, teachers lead students to study, work and live, so that students can integrate into work better and faster.

Mentoring system is not a denial of new training methods, but a means to improve and train new people more actively. In the human resource management of enterprises, both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises have such a training mode of "master with apprentice".

Like the "mentoring system" in the past, it even has the tradition of "being a teacher for one day and being a father for life", which vividly explains the working relationship of a whole generation.

This "mentoring system" is of great significance to human resource management: it can make new employees integrate into the company faster and better, let backward employees keep up with the pace of the team in time, form the "echelon construction" of the team, and also let the "masters" experience more professional qualities and effectively exercise the leadership of the masters.

For a master, in addition to the improvement of his own ability, there is great social value. A person can help others grow together through his own experience, which is a matter of infinite merit.

A qualified master must be a person who can do a good job of "dharma giving" and "fearless giving", and this also requires the master to strictly demand his words and deeds and constantly learn and improve.
