〈(《五代會要》:天福七年,中書門下奏:山陵禮儀使狀:「高祖尊謚號及廟號,伏準故事,將啟殯宮前,擇日命太尉率百僚奉謚冊,告天於圜丘畢,奉謚冊跪讀於靈前。」 (Institutional History of the Five Dynasties: In Tianfu 7, the Secretariat-Chancellery memorialized: The ritual commissioner for the mausoleum reported: "For Gaozu's posthumous honorific title and temple name, according to precedent, before opening the temporary coffin hall a day should be chosen on which the Grand Commander would lead the officials in presenting the posthumous title register, and after reporting to Heaven at the Circular Mound, the register would be presented and read kneeling before the spirit seat."
今所上高祖聖文章武明德孝皇帝尊謚寶冊,伏緣去洛京地遠,寶冊難以往來,當司詳酌,伏請只差官往洛京,奏告南郊太廟。 The posthumous title and imperial seal register now submitted for Gaozu, the Sage Literary and Martial Emperor of Bright Virtue and Filial Piety, could not readily be transported to and from distant Luoyang; the responsible office therefore requested that officials be dispatched to Luoyang to report at the Southern Suburb and the imperial ancestral temple.
