《新唐书·列传·卷一百四十六》
妇女颈上佩金、银项链，或戴珍珠璎珞。人死，火化后取骨灰，建塔收藏；或者将尸体放在野外或河里，去喂鸟兽鱼鳖，没有丧悼的文字。
妇人项节金、银、珠缨络，死者燔骸取灰，建窣堵，或委野中及河，饵鸟兽鱼鳖，无丧纪。
Women wore gold and silver necklaces around their necks, or wore pearl necklaces. When people died, their bodies were cremated to collect their ashes and a tower was built to store them; or their bodies were left in the wilderness or in the river to feed the birds, beasts, fish, and turtles. There was no written mourning.
