門下昔丹陵啟聖華渚降祥。叶德神居克隆鴻業。朕丕承大寶奄宅域中。遠藉郊禋之慶。仰惟樞電之祉。思園之禮既弘。撫鏡之情徒切。而永懷慈訓。欲報無從。靖言因果思憑冥福。通義宮皇家舊宅。制度弘敞。以崇仁祠。敬增靈祐。宜捨為尼寺。仍以興聖為名。庶神道無方。微申凱風之思。主者施行。

From the Chancellery: In the past, the Red Hill opened sageliness and the Flowery Islet sent down auspicious omens; their virtue harmonised with the spirit realm to grandly build a magnificent heritage. We have mightily inherited the great treasure and completely occupied the realm, relying from afar on the blessings of the suburban sacrifices and looking up to the felicity of the pivotal lightning. While the rites for the Garden of Remembrance have been broadly performed, the feelings of gazing into the mirror are keen yet in vain. Ever mindful of maternal instructions, We have no way to repay them. Quietly pondering cause and effect, We wish to rely on unseen blessings. The Palace of Tongyi was a former residence of the imperial house; its layout is grand and spacious. To exalt the shrine of benevolence and reverently increase spiritual protection, it is fitting to donate it as a nunnery, retaining the name Xingsheng. May the divine Way, boundless in its scope, faintly convey Our filial longing for the south wind. Let the relevant authorities carry this out.
