《旧五代史·后唐·庄宗纪七》
今大行皇太后的谥号，请太常卿签署定下后，召集百官一起连名于谥状完毕，在太庙里太祖皇帝的庙室宣读，然后派丞郎一人撰写册文，另外定日子，命太尉在西宫灵座前敬上谥册，同一天派官员祭告天地、太微宫、宗庙，和平常告祭仪式一样。

Now, the posthumous title for the late Grand Empress Dowager, after approval by the Chief Minister of the Court of Grand Rituals, will be presented to all officials who will co-sign the posthumous title document and proclaim it in the Taizu Emperor's shrine hall in the Imperial Temple. Then an imperial secretary will draft an edict, and another date will be set for the Grand Tutor to present the edict at the spirit tablet in the Western Palace. On the same day, officials will be sent to inform heaven, earth, the Taiwei Palace, and the ancestral temple, in the same way as is done for regular ritual announcements.
