4.206

The official system for translating scriptures: From the Tang dynasty onward until this Yuanfeng era, monk officials who translated scriptures were all granted the ranks of Probationary Chief Minister or Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments, or Probationary Chief Minister or Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial. Now they were altered so that Probationary Chief Ministers were granted the title 'Great Dharma Master of the Tripiṭaka', and Probationary Vice Ministers were granted the title 'Dharma Master of the Tripiṭaka' (Rongzhai sanbi).
