唐天成三年，回鶻王仁裕來朝，吐蕃亦遣使附以來，自此數至中國。 In the third year of Tiancheng under Later Tang, the Uyghur king Renyu came to court, and Tubo sent envoys along with his mission. Thereafter they came to the central realm on numerous occasions.

天成三年二月，其權知可汗仁裕遣都督李阿山等一百二十人入貢，明宗召對於崇元殿，賜物有差。 In the second month of the third year of Tiancheng, acting khan Renyu sent commissioner Li Ashan and one hundred twenty others with tribute. Mingzong received them in the Hall of Exalted Origin and bestowed gifts according to rank.

其年三月，命使冊仁裕爲順化可汗。 In the third month of that year envoys were dispatched to invest Renyu as Khan of Compliant Transformation.

《歐陽史》：「晉高祖時，又加冊命，阿咄欲不知其爲狄銀親疏，亦不知其立卒，而仁裕訖五代常來朝貢，史亦失其紀。」 The Ouyang History states: "Under Emperor Gaozu of Jin further investiture was granted. Whether Atouyu was near or distant kin to Diyin is unknown, as are the circumstances of his rise and death, whereas Renyu continued to send tribute throughout the Five Dynasties—yet the histories have lost the record of his reign as well."
