迨至世宗，製作乃定，班班乎古矣！ By the reign of Emperor Shizong, the specifications were finally settled—splendid indeed, in the manner of antiquity!

大定中，世宗以京尹亦外官三品，而與親王無別，遂命不得禦銀鞍、絲鞭，惟同外三品例，襆頭、帶、展皁視事。 During Dading, Emperor Shizong ruled that the capital magistrate, though a third-rank outside post, should not share princely privileges; he was barred from silver saddles and silk whips and followed the outside-third-rank norm of headwrap, belt, and black boots for official business.

章宗即位，以世宗之喪，有司請禦純吉，不從，乃服淡黃袍、烏犀帶。 At Emperor Zhangzong's accession, during mourning for Emperor Shizong, officials requested pure auspicious dress; he refused and wore a pale yellow robe with rhinoceros belt.
