New Book of Tang, Chapter 11Volume 11 Treatises 1: Rites and Music 1 · 1 passage
唐初，即用隋禮，至太宗時，中書令房玄齡、祕書監魏徵，與禮官、學士等因隋之禮，增以天子上陵、朝廟、養老、大射、講武、讀時令、納皇后、皇太子入學、太常行陵、合朔、陳兵太社等，為吉禮六十一篇，賓禮四篇，軍禮二十篇，嘉禮四十二篇，凶禮十一篇，是為貞觀禮。
Early Tang adopted Sui ritual outright. Under Taizong, Chief Minister Fang Xuanling and Secretariat Director Wei Zheng, with ritual officials and academicians, built on Sui ritual and added the Son of Heaven's tomb visits, temple audiences, nurturing the aged, great archery, military review, reading the seasons, receiving the empress, the crown prince entering school, the Director of Court Music visiting tombs, new moon, and displaying troops at the Grand Earth altar—sixty-one sections of auspicious ritual, four of guest ritual, twenty of military ritual, forty-two of felicitous ritual, and eleven of inauspicious ritual: the Zhenguan Ritual.
