皇統元年，熙宗加尊號，始就用宋樂，有司以鐘磬刻「晟」字者犯太宗諱，皆以黃紙封之。 In Huangtong 1, when Emperor Xizong received an elevated honorific title, the court first began to use Song music; officials found that bells and chimes engraved with the character "Sheng" violated Emperor Taizong's taboo, and all were sealed with yellow paper.
