, this regulation was in ancient times. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was an important monk named , Shi Daoan, . He said that in Chinese culture, there was only one surname when he became a monk, and he had to have one surname. He stipulated that the surname was the same as Buddha Sakyamuni, but this sentence was actually wrong, because the Buddha did not have a surname. Sakyamuni was a title, meaning the saint of this land or the saint of this country. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, was named Gautama, and was named Siddhartha.

Monthus stipulates that "Shi" is the surname, which is actually derived from the first word "Shi", the founder of Buddhism, "Shi". One is to respect the Buddha, and the other is to miss the Buddha. The third shows that everyone is a family of the same belief and is a disciple of Sakyamuni, which has effectively enhanced the unity within Buddhism.

"Shi" as the surname of a monk also affects everything in Buddhism. Buddhism is called " Buddhist ", the elders of Buddhism are called "Shi Master", the Buddhist scriptures are called "Shi Dian", the portal of Buddhism is called "Shi Gate", and the Buddha Shakyamuni is respected as "Shi Xiong". Therefore, Buddhist monks have a unified surname "Shu" and are of epoch-making milestone significance for the development history of Chinese Buddhism.
