《新唐书·列传·卷一百四十七》
另有笛王、歌女两人均鬓发斑白。异牟寻指着他们对袁滋说 ：这是我父亲归国时皇帝赏赐胡部、龟兹两乐队。如今差不多都去世了，只有这两人还在。 
有笛工、歌女，皆垂白，示滋曰： 此先君归国时，皇帝赐胡部、龟兹音声二列，今丧亡略尽，唯二人故在。 
There were also a flute master and a singer, both with white hair. 異牟寻 pointed at them and said to Yuan Zi, “My father was rewarded with these two music groups, Hu Bu and Qiuci, when he returned home. Almost all of them have died, and only these two remain.”
