《宋书·志·卷十四》
东晋王侯不住自己的封国，其中如果有接受地方官任职而居住在京城外的，就执行同方伯刺史一样的礼制，也没有朝聘的礼仪，这种礼仪便逐渐废止了。
江左王侯不之国，其有授任居外，则同方伯刺史二千石之礼，亦无朝聘之制，此礼遂废。
The Eastern Jin kings and dukes did not live in their own domains; those who accepted official posts in local governments and therefore lived outside the capital performed rites equal to those performed by governors and censors. The rites for paying homage to the emperor were also abolished.
