先是禮臣建議，為父後者為生祖母終三年喪，宗瀚幸奉功令，既而部議仍改期服，宗瀚本生父秉禮已老，而有子四人，以出繼不得終養。 The Ministry of Rites had earlier ruled that an adopted heir should observe three years' mourning for his birth grandmother, and Zonghan had followed that ruling; but the ministry later reverted to one year. His birth father Bingli was elderly with four sons, and because Zonghan had been given in adoption he could not complete his care.
