Death

[edit]

Princess Si of Anding was born in 654 AD but tragically passed away in the same year several months later[6][7]. Due to her brief life, historical records about her are scarce. However, she is often associated with various stories concerning her alleged murder supposedly by Wu Zetian[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]or the accused Empress Wang[10][19][20][21][22]. Given her young age, it is possible that she died from natural causes or complications common in infancy during that time as in the earliest surviving account of her death it simply states that the princess died suddenly[23][1][24]. In later texts compiled centuries afterward include many more details about the incident[25][23][3].

In 664, Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian decreed that the princess be posthumously honored with the title Princess Anding, along with the posthumous name "Si." She was initially laid to rest at Deye Temple with a ceremonial burial ,and later, her remains were relocated to Chongjing Temple[3][26].
