翼祖、太祖、太宗、仁宗為穆，在右； Yizu, Taizu, Taizong, and Renzong as mu, on the right;

復圖上八廟昭穆之制，以翼祖、太祖、太宗、仁宗為昭，在左； They resubmitted a diagram of the eight-temple zhao-mu system: Yizu, Taizu, Taizong, and Renzong as zhao, on the left;

何洵直圖上八廟異宮，引熙寧儀：僖祖正東向之位，順祖、宣祖、真宗、英宗南面為昭，翼祖、太祖、太宗、仁宗北面為穆，正得祖宗繼序、德厚流光之本意。 He Xunzhi submitted a plan for eight temples in separate palaces, citing Xining regulations: Xizu east-facing; Shunzu, Xuanzu, Zhenzong, and Yingzong south as zhao; Yizu, Taizu, Taizong, and Renzong north as mu—capturing the intent of orderly succession and enduring virtue.

次真宗室，次仁宗室，次英宗室。 Next the Zhenzong chamber, then Renzong, then Yingzong.

禮畢，奉神主歸仁宗室。 When the rites were complete, the spirit tablets were returned to the Renzong chamber.
