《明史·志·卷二十七》
穆宗即位，礼部因为刚去世的皇帝丧服未除，请求遵循弘治十八年的先例，年终大合祭与正月的季节合祭这两次祭礼，都派官员代行。
穆宗即位，礼部以大行皇帝服制未除，请遵弘治十八年例，岁暮大祫、孟春时享两祭，皆遣官摄事。
When Mu Zong ascended to the throne, the Ministry of Rites requested, due to the fact that the mourning clothes for the recently deceased emperor had not yet been removed, that an official be sent to act on his behalf to perform the great joint sacrifice at the end of the year and the seasonal joint sacrifice in January, in accordance with the precedent of the eighteenth year of the Hongzhi era.
