Edict 2SZ-03-03

To the Ministry of Rites and the Master of Ceremony, 

''Master Yangming and Master Chunren are both men of integrity, who embodied the greatest of the Confucian virtues. Filial and loyal men, they treated all with respect, but did not fear to put all their energy and their lives on the line in times of crisis. ''

''We command that your offices are to set these two up as examples of the proper Confucian Gentleman, and to place their devotional tablets within the Temple to Confucius. The Great Sage and his disciples find in them two men who, despite living thousands of years apart, nonetheless bore the same good qualities and lived accordingly. ''
