In addition to abbot, there are actually so many "positions" in the temple. Do you know them all?

I saw a news about recruiting monks on the Internet before, saying that the requirement is to have a master's degree or above. This requirement has hit many people. Although most people may just joke about wanting to be a monk, did you know that monks are also classified? Being a monk also has different positions. If a temple is compared to a large company, then the abbot is the top leader of the company, presiding over everything in the temple. There are many important decisions that require the abbot's consent before they can be implemented. It is the role of a leader and decision-maker. Abbots are also called abbots in many movies and TV shows. In fact, their positions are the same.

In addition to the abbot, there are many positions. For example, there are professional personnel responsible for patrolling at night, similar to today's security guards. In the temple, they are called "night patrols." In ancient times, it was not like today. There were watches that could tell the time directly, but someone needed to tell the time. Therefore, the position responsible for telling time is generally called "Zhongtou" in temples.

Since it is a temple, there must be a person in charge of daily hygiene. Just like the labor committee member in school or the cleaning lady at work, temples also need someone to be responsible for cleaning. However, the responsibility for hygiene in a temple must be divided very carefully. For example, there is a person who is responsible for cleaning the temple and helping to clean the dust and so on. He is called a "hall master". A masterpiece "grinding head" responsible for the health and safety of other personnel.

There are also many positions similar to those of temple leaders, such as deputy temple, supervisor, and governor, all of which are professional titles for leaders. Among them, the deputy temple is mainly responsible for financial management, such as the incense money we donate every day, and the daily expenses of the temple are managed by the deputy temple, similar to the current financial director.
