《契丹國志》云：天祿二年春二月，徙晉侯、太后於建州，中途安太妃卒，遺命晉侯曰：「焚骨為灰，南向揚之，庶幾遺魂得返中國也。」）〉 The Khitan State Annals records that in the second month of spring of the second year of Tianlu, when the Marquis of Jin and the empress dowager were relocated to Jianzhou, Grand Consort An died en route; her dying charge to the Marquis of Jin was: "Burn my bones to ash and scatter them southward — perhaps my lingering soul may return to China.")〉
