章衡請：「尊僖祖為始祖，而次祧順祖，以合子為父屈之義。 Zhang Heng proposed: "Honor Xizu as founding ancestor and next move Shunzu to distant-line status, in accord with the principle that the son bends for the father.

於是請奉僖祖神主為始祖，遷順祖神主夾室，以僖祖配感生帝祀。 They then requested installing Xizu's tablet as founding ancestor, moving Shunzu's tablet to a flanking chamber, and pairing Xizu with the Life-Giving Emperor at sacrifice.

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.

順祖實去祧之主，若有四時祈禱，猶當就壇受祭。 Shunzu is in fact a lord moved to distant-line status; for seasonal prayers he should still receive sacrifice at the altar.
