《旧唐书·列传·卷三》
他一家以大德世代相传，如同周武王继承他祖父姬季历的根基；地位由头功开拓奠定，如同光武帝继承九世祖刘邦的伟业。
家传盛德，武王承季历之基；地启元勋，世祖嗣元皇之业。
His family has passed down great virtues from generation to generation, just like King Wu of Zhou inherited the foundation of his grandfather Ji Jili; the status was established by the first-class merit, just like Emperor Guangwu inherited the great cause of his ninth-generation ancestor Liu Bang.
