《元史·列传·卷五十五》
平阴县女子刘金莲，以妖术惑众，所到之处，官府为她建立神堂，一般百姓都去求福。天祥对同僚说 ：此妇人以神怪惑众，其声势如此之大，如果有狡猾之徒来帮助她，仿效汉代张角、晋代孙恩，号召起事，必成大害。 
平阴县女子刘金莲，假妖术以惑众，所至官为建立神堂，愚民皆奔走奉事之，天祥谓同僚曰： 此妇以神怪惑众，声势如此，若复有狡狯之人辅翼之，仿汉张角、晋孙恩之为，必成大害。 
Liu Jinlian, a woman from Pingyin County, used sorcery to bewitch the crowd. Wherever she went, the government built a temple for her, and ordinary people went to pray for blessings. Tianxiang said to his colleagues: This woman bewitches the crowd with gods and ghosts, and her power is so great, if a cunning person helps her, follows the example of Zhang Jiao of the Han Dynasty and Sun En of the Jin Dynasty, and calls on people to rebel, it will surely become a great scourge.
