世祖居潛邸，嘗召樂師至日月山觀之，至是，徐世隆奏帝，宜增設宮縣及文、武二舞，以備大典。 When Kublai still held his princely establishment he had summoned the musicians to Sun-Moon Mountain for inspection. Xu Shilong now memorialized that palace bells and chimes and the civil and military dances should be restored for the great state ceremonies.

因詔徐世隆為太常卿，而孔孫以奉禮郎為之副，以董樂師，肄成，獻之京師。 An edict appointed Xu Shilong Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and Kongsun his deputy as ceremonial officer to supervise the musicians. When their work was complete they presented the restored music in the capital.
