宣德太后令曰：「皇室受終，祖宗齊聖，太祖高皇帝肇基駿命，膺籙受圖，世祖武皇帝係明下武，高宗明皇帝重隆景業，咸降年不永，宮車係晏。 Empress Dowager Xuande proclaimed: "The throne passed in turn; our forebears were sages together. The High Ancestor laid the splendid foundation and took heaven's register; the Martial Ancestor continued the bright mandate in martial succession; the Luminous High Ancestor renewed the bright estate—each died young, the palace carriage halted at dusk.
