Everything is decided here by numbers.


  • "489" refers to the "Mountain" Master (or 'Dragon Head').
  • "438" is used for the "Deputy Mountain Master".
  • "432" indicates "Grass Slipper" rank and the Mountain Master's proxy, "Incense Master", who oversees inductions, and "Vanguard", who assists the Incense Master. "426" refers to a "military commander", also known as a "Red Pole", overseeing defensive and offensive operations.
  • "49" denotes the position of "soldier" or rank-and-file member.
  • The "White Paper Fan" (415) provides financial and business advice.
  • The "Straw Sandal" (432) functions as a liaison between different units.
  • "25" refers to "snitch", i.e. informant
  • "Blue Lanterns" are uninitiated members.
Where are these codes used?
