《史记·三十世家·外戚世家》
陈皇后的母亲大长公主是景帝的姐姐，多次责备武帝的姐姐平阳公主说： 皇帝没有我就不能即位，即位后竟抛弃了我的女儿，为何不自感庆幸而忘记本分啊！ 
陈皇后母大长公主，景帝姊也，数让武帝姊平阳公主曰： 帝非我不得立，已而弃捐吾女，壹何不自喜而倍本乎！ 
Empress Chen's mother, the eldest princess, was Emperor Jing's sister. She repeatedly blamed Emperor Wu's sister, Princess Pingyang, and said, "Without me, the Emperor would not be able to ascend to the throne. Yet after he ascended to the throne, he abandoned my daughter. Why doesn't he feel ashamed and forget his own background?"
