黃門侍郎宗靈秀體肥，拜起不便，每至集會，多所賜與，欲其瞻謝傾踣，以為歡笑。 Gentleman of the Yellow Gate Zong Lingxiu was obese and clumsy at court bows. At every feast the emperor showered him with gifts, hoping he would trip when he rose to thank him and provide a laugh.

又刻木作靈秀父光祿勳叔獻像，送其家廳事。 He even had a wooden statue carved of Lingxiu's father, Superintendent of the Imperial Household Shuxian, and sent it to their reception hall.
