後唐同光二年四月，其本國權知可汗仁美遣都督李引釋迦、副使鐵林、都監楊福安等共六十六人來貢方物，並獻善馬九匹。 In the fourth month of the second year of Tongguang, acting khan Renmei sent commissioner Li Yinshijia, vice-envoy Tielin, overseer Yang Fu'an, and sixty-six others to present tribute, including nine fine horses.

莊宗召對於文明殿，乃命司農卿鄭績、將作少監何延嗣持節冊仁美爲英義可汗。 Zhuangzong received them in audience in the Hall of Civilizing Culture and ordered Minister of Agriculture Zheng Ji and Vice-Director of Imperial Works He Yansi to invest Renmei as Khan of Heroic Righteousness.

至其年十一月，仁美卒，其弟狄銀嗣立，遣都督安千等朝貢。 In the eleventh month of that year Renmei died. His younger brother Diyin succeeded him and sent commissioner An Qian and others to court with tribute.
