        This refers to one the functions in a Cha2n monastery (see also zhi1dia4n 知殿 and dia4nsi1 殿司). The duties of this job are usually centered around the Buddha-hall (fo2-dia3n). He is responsible for the following duties: to regularily sweep the hall, see to it that it is supplied with flowers, candles, and incense; he also participates in ceremonies performed in the Buddha-hall. The duties of the zhi1dia4n are already described in the Cha2nyua4n qi1nggui1 禪苑清規 (T.48: 1131a), traditionally attributed to Ba3izha4ng 百丈). See also FOGUANG: 3464b and 5504b.

        In modern Zen monasteries the position of this monk seems to be relatively high in the monastic hirarchy and also includes the reception of guests and administrative work.
