Should larger donations earn more prominent placement for donors' names?

I would prefer everyone willing to contribute money or effort to receive equal respect. A larger donation should not make a name more important, while a smaller one earns only an inconspicuous corner.

I have seen old temples where donations of five hundred, one thousand, or one hundred were all inscribed in the same place, with roughly equal space for each name. I thought this was good: it recorded everyone's contribution for later generations and respected each person's merit equally. By contrast, if a larger donation earns a place beneath a better artwork while a smaller one is relegated to the edges, we need to notice that discriminating attitude.

Whether to include amounts involves different considerations. Yi Qing suggested listing only names then, and my thinking was similar, or at least giving everyone equal-sized spaces. However, some donors feel uneasy if the amount is not recorded, so this is not easy in practice. Preserving gratitude without ranking people above and below one another requires care.
