又唐中、睿皆處昭位，敬、文、武昭穆同為一世。 Tang's Zhongzong and Ruizong both occupied zhao positions, while Jingzong, Wenzong, and Wuzong shared zhao and mu as one generation.

玄宗朝禘袷，皇伯考中宗、皇考睿宗同列於穆位。 At the di and xia sacrifices under Xuanzong, Imperial Elder Uncle Zhongzong and Imperial Father Ruizong were ranked together in the mu position.

德宗亦以中宗為高伯祖。 Dezong likewise addressed Zhongzong as great-great-grand elder uncle.

唐玄宗謂中宗為皇伯考，德宗謂中宗為高伯祖，則伯氏之稱，復何不可？ Tang Xuanzong called Zhongzong Imperial Elder Uncle; Dezong called him great-great-grand elder uncle—why then cannot the address of elder uncle be used?
