《史记·三十世家·外戚世家》
薄太后认为自己的母家是魏王的后代，她的父母早逝，魏氏家族中有人侍奉薄太后很尽力，于是下令恢复魏氏家族地位，分别按照亲疏程度接受赏赐。
薄太后以为母家魏王后，早失父母，其奉薄太后诸魏有力者，于是召复魏氏，赏赐各以亲疏受之。
The Empress Dowager Bo saw in her mother's family, who were descendants of the King of Wei, a form of personal salvation, and as she had lost both parents in early childhood, and since there were in the Wei family people who showed every mark of respect towards her, she ordered the restoration of the family's status, and granted rewards to its members according to the degree of their relationship with her.
