釋氏要覽 3.37

3.37

絳赤色也。范曄後漢書云。馬融達生任性不拘儒者之節。常坐高堂施絳帳。前授生徒。後列女樂。或稱馬帳○又晉書宣文君宋氏。即韋逞母也。立講堂。隔絳紗幔授學徒（今釋子稱絳帳等。有所不冝。智者思之）。

Jiang means crimson color. Fan Ye's Hou Han shu says: ‘Ma Rong was worldly and followed his nature, untrammeled by the rules of classicists. He often sat in a high hall behind crimson curtains, instructing students in front while female musicians were arranged in the back.’ It was also called 'Ma's curtain.' Furthermore, the Jin shu records that Lady Xuanwen, née Song, mother of Wei Cheng, established a lecture hall and taught students from behind a crimson gauze curtain. (Nowadays, disciples of the Śākya clan referring to 'crimson curtains' and the like is inappropriate; the wise should reflect on this.)”
