In the first month, an edict ordered the prefectures to establish temples to the Xuanyuan Emperor, and directed that among the students of each prefecture, they should study the Daodejing, Zhuangzi, Liezi, and Wenzi. Each year, in accordance with the Mingjing examinations, they were to be recommended and sent to the imperial court. One assistant instructor was established. In the ninth month, the Emperor presided at the tower of the Xingqing Gate to personally test their comprehension of the Daodejing, Zhuangzi, and Liezi. At that time, Yao Ziyan and others passed the examination with their policy responses.
