《梁书·列传·卷五十》
刘勰于是上表进言，认为郊祀天地礼仪应当和祭祀七庙的礼仪作同样的改变，祭品也用蔬食果品。皇上下诏交付尚书议决，最后确定依照刘勰的陈奏办。
勰乃表言二郊宜与七庙同改，诏付尚书议，依勰所陈。
Liu Xie submitted a memorial, arguing that the rituals for the sacrifices to Heaven and Earth should be changed in the same way as the rituals for the sacrifices to the Seven Temples, and that vegetarian dishes and fruits should be used as offerings. The emperor issued an edict to the Ministry of Works for deliberation, and it was finally decided to follow Liu Xie's advice.
