十七年十月，祫享太廟，「檢討唐禮，孝敬皇帝廟時享用廟舞、宮縣、登歌，讓皇帝廟至禘祫月一祭，只用登歌，其禮制損益不同。
In the tenth month of the seventeenth year, at the di and xia offering at the Grand Ancestral Temple: "Reviewing Tang ritual, the temple of Emperor Xiaojing used temple dance, palace music, and elevated song at seasonal offerings; the temple of Emperor Rang, down to the di and xia months with one sacrifice, used only elevated song—their ritual systems differed in what was added or reduced.
今武靈皇帝廟庭與太廟地步不同，難以容設宮縣樂舞，並樂器亦是闕少，看詳恐合依唐讓皇帝祫享典故，樂用登歌，所有牲牢樽俎同太廟一室行禮。
Now the forecourt of Emperor Wuling's temple differs in size from the Grand Ancestral Temple, making it difficult to accommodate palace music and dance, and musical instruments are also lacking. On examination they should follow the Tang precedent for Emperor Rang's di and xia offering, using elevated song; all victims, wine vessels, and stands should follow the rites of one chamber of the Grand Ancestral Temple.
