康熙五年，新安衛官生楊光先叩閽進所著摘謬論、選擇議，斥湯若望新法十謬，並指選擇榮親王葬期誤用洪範五行，下議政王等會同確議。 In Kangxi 5, Xin'an Guard licentiate Yang Guangxian came to the palace gates with his "Picking Out Errors" and "On Date Selection," denouncing ten flaws in Tang Ruowang's method and accusing him of misapplying Hongfan five-phase rules to Prince Rong's burial date. The regents were ordered to decide.

選榮親王葬期不用正五行，反用洪範五行，山嚮年月俱犯忌殺，事犯重大。 For Prince Rong's burial date he ignored orthodox Five Phases and used Hongfan Five Phases instead—the mountain orientation, year, and month all breached taboo killings; the offense was grave.
