History of Jin, Chapter 32 Volume 32 Treatises 13: Rites 5: Conferring of Posthumous Titles · 3 passages
皇曾叔祖太師，機獨運心，公無私物，四方聳動，諸部歸懷，德威兩隆，風俗大定。
The imperial great-granduncle, Grand Preceptor, whose designs sprang from the heart alone and whose public service knew no private gain, stirred the four quarters until every tribe returned in allegiance; virtue and awe alike rose high, and customs were greatly settled.
申情見貌曰'穆'，博聞多能曰'憲'，柔德好眾曰'靜'，聖善周聞曰'宣'，請上皇曾叔祖太師尊諡曰穆憲皇帝，廟號肅宗，妣曰靜宣皇后。
Mu is for expressing feeling and revealing true character, xian for broad learning and many abilities, jing for gentle virtue and love of the multitude, xuan for sagely goodness known throughout the realm—we ask that the imperial great-granduncle, Grand Preceptor, receive the posthumous title Emperor Muxian, with the temple name Suzong, and that his consort be titled Empress Jingxuan.
是歲閏十一月，增上祖宗尊諡，始祖景元皇帝曰懿憲景元皇帝，德皇帝曰淵穆玄德皇帝，安皇帝曰和靖慶安皇帝，獻祖定昭皇帝曰純烈定昭皇帝，昭祖成襄皇帝曰武惠成襄皇帝，景祖惠桓皇帝曰英烈惠桓皇帝，世祖聖肅皇帝曰神武聖肅皇帝，肅宗穆憲皇帝曰明睿穆憲皇帝，穆宗孝平皇帝曰章順孝平皇帝，康宗恭簡皇帝曰獻敏恭簡皇帝，太宗文烈皇帝曰體元應運世德昭功哲惠仁聖文烈皇帝，徽宗景宣皇帝曰允恭克讓孝德玄功佑聖景宣皇帝，已上廟號如故。
In the intercalary eleventh month of that year the court augmented the posthumous titles of the imperial ancestors: Founder Emperor Jingyuan became Emperor Yixian Jingyuan; Emperor De became Emperor Yuanmu Xuande; Emperor An became Emperor Hejing Qing'an; Xianzu Emperor Dingzhao became Emperor Chunlie Dingzhao; Zhaozu Emperor Chengxiang became Emperor Wuhui Chengxiang; Jingzu Emperor Huihuan became Emperor Yinglie Huihuan; Shizu Emperor Shengsu became Emperor Shenwu Shengsu; Suzong Emperor Muxian became Emperor Mingrui Muxian; Muzong Emperor Xiaoping became Emperor Zhangshun Xiaoping; Kangzong Emperor Gongjian became Emperor Xianmin Gongjian; Taizong Emperor Wenlie became Emperor Tiyuan Yingyun Shide Zhaogong Zhehui Rensheng Wenlie; Huizong Emperor Jingxuan became Emperor Yungong Kerang Xiaode Xuangong Yousheng Jingxuan—the temple names listed above remained unchanged.
