In the first year of Baoli, an imperial decree ordered the Two Streets to establish universal ordination platforms: Anguo Monastery on the Left Street and Xingfu Monastery on the Right Street. Liu Gui, Commander of the Middle Palace Guards, was appointed Commissioner of Merit and Virtue for the Left and Right Streets. Those possessing vinaya conduct were selected as Venerables. It was ordered that male postulants who could recite 150 sheets of sūtra from memory and female postulants who could recite 100 sheets be permitted to have their hair shaved and receive ordination.
