《晋书·志·第九章》
诏令又说： 古时候虽然说是七庙，从近代以来却都是一庙七室，在礼制上没有废除什么，在亲情的表达上也比较顺，也是随着时代的不同所采取的相宜的做法。
诏又曰： 古虽七庙，自近代以来皆一庙七室，于礼无废，于情为叙，亦随时之宜也。
The imperial decree noted: "Although it was mentioned in ancient times that there were seven temples, but from the more recent times, it was only one temple with seven rooms, and there has been no change in the rituals and it is appropriate to show love for your loved ones; this is also a common practice which has changed with the times."
