自洛下閎造《太初曆》，用渾儀，及東漢孝和帝時，太史惟有赤道儀，歲時測候，頗有進退。 From Luoxia Hong's compilation of the Taichu Calendar with the armillary sphere down to the Eastern Han Emperor He, the Grand Astrologer's office possessed only an equatorial instrument, and its seasonal observations drifted noticeably.

帝以問典星待詔姚崇等，皆曰：「星圖有規法，日月實從黃道，今無其器，是以失之。」 The emperor asked the awaited-edict astrologers Yao Chong and others, and they all replied: "The star chart follows fixed rules, and the sun and moon truly travel the ecliptic; because we lack the proper instrument today, our readings go astray."
