宣孝太子廟。 Temple of Crown Prince Xuanxiao

大定二十五年七月，有司奏：「依唐典，故太子置廟，設官屬奉祀。 In the seventh month of Dading 25, the responsible offices memorialized: "Following Tang precedent, a deceased crown prince should have a temple established and officials appointed to perform worship.

又奉旨：「太子廟既安神主，宜別建影殿。」 By imperial command it was also stated: "Since the crown prince's temple will enshrine the spirit tablet, a separate portrait hall should be built."

題神主官就褥位，題諡號於背雲「宣孝太子神主」，墨書，用光漆模，訖，授奉神主官，承以箱，覆以梅紅羅帕，藉以素羅帕，詣座置於匱，乃下簾帷，侍衛如式。 The inscribing officer took the kneeling mat and inscribed the posthumous title on the back: "Spirit tablet of Crown Prince Xuanxiao," in ink, using a glossy-lacquer mold. When finished, he handed it to the officer bearing the spirit tablet, who received it in a case covered with plum-red silk over plain silk, placed it in the casket at the seat, lowered curtains and canopies, and posted guards according to prescribed form.
