二十一年十一月望，太陰虧食，遂命尚書省委禮部員外郎任忠傑與司天曆官驗所食時刻分秒，比校知微、履及見行曆之親疏，以知微曆為親，遂用之。 In year 21, at the full moon of the eleventh month, the moon was eclipsed; the Ministry ordered Ren Zhongjie of the Rites Bureau and the calendar officers to verify the hour, minute, and second of the eclipse and compare Zhao Zhiwei's, Yelü Lü's, and the current calendar—Zhiwei's proved closer, and his calendar was adopted.

省臣欲取公牒可憑者為准，參知政事移剌履謂：「憑驗真偽難明，凡契丹奴婢今後所生者悉為良，見有者則不得典賣，如此則三十年後奴皆為良，而民且不病焉。」 Provincial ministers wanted documentary proof; Vice Grand Councilor Yelü Lü said: "Verification of truth and falsehood is hard to clarify; all Khitan bond servants born hereafter should be free, existing ones not pawned or sold—in thirty years all would be free without harming the people."
