晉高祖時，以戶部侍郎為學士承旨，權知天福二年貢舉。 Under Gaozu of Later Jin he served as vice minister of revenue and chief academician, with provisional charge of the second-year Tianfu civil service examination.

五年，高祖詔太常復文武二舞，詳定正、冬朝會禮及樂章。 In the fifth year Gaozu ordered the Court of Imperial Sacrifices to restore the civil and military dances and to fix the rites of the regular and winter court assemblies and their musical pieces.

其年冬至，高祖會朝崇元殿，廷設宮縣，二舞在北，登歌在上。 That winter solstice Gaozu held court in the Chongyuan Hall. Palace musical sets were arranged in the courtyard, with the two dances to the north and the ascending song above.

禮畢，高祖大悅，賜梲金帛，羣臣左右覩者皆嗟歎之。 When the rites ended, Gaozu was delighted and rewarded Zhuo with gold and silk. Every official who witnessed it sighed in admiration.

其年高祖崩。 That year Gaozu died.
