乙卯，左諫議大夫曹國珍上言：「請於內外臣僚之中，選才略之士，聚《唐六典》、前後《會要》、《禮閣新儀》、《大中統類》、律令格式等，精詳纂集，俾無漏落，別為書一部，目為《大晉政統》。」 On the yimao day, Cao Guozhen, left remonstrance counselor, submitted: "I ask that talented officials be chosen from among court and provincial ranks to assemble the 《Tang Administrative Compendium》, the earlier and later 《Institutional Compendia》, the 《New Ritual Protocols of the Ritual Office》, the 《Comprehensive Categories of the Dazhong Era》, and the statutes, ordinances, and formats, and to compile them carefully so that nothing is left out, producing a separate work to be called 《Comprehensive Institutions of Great Jin》."
