The Record of the Jin State says: 'In the teaching of the Buddha, even noble relatives and prominent clans often renounced their sons and daughters to become monks and nuns. In the capital they were called State Preceptors (guoshi); in the military commands they were called Clerical Registrars (senglu); in the prefectures and commanderies they were called Rectors (dugang); and in the counties they were called Rectors (karmadāna / weina). Their tonsure and deportment were identical to those of the Southern Song. The honorific titles conferred on them were "Grand Master" (dashi) and "Great Virtue" (dade), both accompanied by the bestowal of the purple robe. The State Preceptor wore a true red kāṣāya. The dugang also served a term of three years: if he possessed a master's title, he was granted purple; if not, he remained like an ordinary monk. Lawsuits involving monks and nuns punishable by the rod or less were adjudicated and settled by the weina; those punishable by more than the rod were all referred to the offices of the senglu and dugang.'
