"This first-class reward is reserved for the Toulu, the troupe leader, and Da Ti Diao, essentially the pillars of the entire opera troupe, the best-known leading actors."

"The second-class rewards go to the Er Lu Jiao, who play secondary roles to support the leading actors, as well as to the Civil and Military Manager of the troupe, and leading figures such as the Xiao Guanshi and the Xiangtou."

"The remaining third-class rewards are for the other members of the troupe: ordinary martial artists, those who manage props like flags, gongs, umbrellas, and theaters, Palace Maids and Servants, Musicians and Stagehands, Stage Inspectors, Curtain Operators, Paint Box Managers, Prompters, Errand Runners, those who hype up the plays from beneath the stage, and other miscellaneous personnel responsible for carrying large trunks."
