《新唐书·列传·卷一百零三》
继承先帝帝位时史官一定要写登基，这是用来表示即位是正当的；皇帝去世一定要记载去世的地点，这是表示是寿终正寝的。
夫继故必书即位，所以正其始也；终必书所终之地，所以正其终也。
When the emperor succeeds to the throne, the historian must write the accession to the throne, which is used to show that the accession to the throne is legitimate; when the emperor dies, the place of death must be recorded, which indicates that he died of old age.
