縞言：「漢諸侯王入繼統者，必別立親廟，光武皇帝立四廟於南陽，請如漢故事，立廟以申孝享。」 Gao said: "When Han feudal princes entered to succeed to the imperial line, they always separately established temples to their own parents. Emperor Guangwu established four temples at Nanyang. I request that Han precedent be followed and temples established to extend filial sacrifice."
