三年正月，立亲庙雒阳，祀父南顿君以上至舂陵节侯。 In Jianwu 3 he set up shrines to his own line in Luoyang, reaching from his father, the Lord of Nandun, up to the Jieling marquis of Chunling.

宜为南顿君立皇考庙，祭上至舂陵节侯，群臣奉祠。」 For his own father they proposed a "royal father" temple from Nandun up to Jieling, with the bureaucracy as celebrants."

南顿君以上至节侯，皆就园庙。 The line from Nandun through Jieling was worshipped only at the garden-temples.

南顿君称皇考庙，钜鹿都尉称皇祖考庙，郁林太守称皇曾祖考庙，节侯称皇高祖考庙，在所郡县侍祠。 Lord Nandun's temple was called the Imperial Deceased Father's Temple; the Julu Commandant's temple was called the Imperial Deceased Grandfather's Temple; the Yulin Administrator's temple was called the Imperial Deceased Great-Grandfather's Temple; and Marquis Jie’s temple was called the Imperial Deceased Great-Great-Grandfather's Temple.
