太子令曰：「張鏡《儀記》云『依《士禮》，終服月稱慕悼』。 The crown prince ordered: "Zhang Jing's Ritual Record says, 'Per the Rites of the Scholar, after full mourning for a month one styles mourning tribute.

用張鏡之舉樂，棄張鏡之稱悲，一鏡之言，取捨有異，此自難二也。 To take Zhang Jing's music while dropping his grief styling—in one author's words the choices conflict; this is the second difficulty.
