如周以後稷為太祖，王季為昭，文王為穆，武王為昭，成王為穆，康王為昭，昭王為穆，其後穆王入廟，王季親盡而遷，則文王宜居昭位，武王宜居穆位，成王、昭王宜居昭位，康王、穆王宜居穆位，所謂父昭子穆是也。 As Zhou took Hou Ji as Grand Ancestor: King Ji as zhao, King Wen as mu, King Wu as zhao, King Cheng as mu, King Kang as zhao, King Zhao as mu—when King Mu entered and King Ji was moved, King Wen should occupy zhao, King Wu mu, King Cheng and King Zhao zhao, King Kang and King Mu mu—father zhao, son mu.
