又立親廟四世，推南頓君以上盡於舂陵節侯。 Four generations of "close" shrines had also been set, running from Lord Nandun back to Marquis Jieling of Chunling.

詔下公卿，大司徒戴涉、大司空竇融議：『宜以宣、元、成、哀、平五帝四世代今親廟，宣、元皇帝尊為祖、父，可親奉祠，成帝以下，有司行事，別為南頓君立皇考廟。 The edict went to the high ministers. Dai She and Dou Rong proposed: "Use the five rulers from Xuan through Ping, with four generations, in place of today's private shrines; Xuan and Yuan as grandfather and father may receive worship from you in person; from Cheng on let officials officiate; add a separate "imperial father" temple for Lord Nandun.
