白氏，蘇嗣之之母，許州人，宋尚書右丞子由五世孫婦也。 Lady Bai was the mother of Su Sizhi, a native of Xu Prefecture and the fifth-generation daughter-in-law of Ziyou, Right Vice Director of the Song Secretariat of Works.

天興元年正月庚戌，許州被兵，嗣之為汴京廂官，白拜辭兩先生前曰：「兒子往京師，老婦死無恨矣，敢以告。」 On gengxu, the first month of the first year of Tianxing (1232), Xu Prefecture was overrun by troops. Sizhi was a Bianjing bureau official. Lady Bai took leave before the two masters' portraits, saying, "My son is going to the capital; this old woman dies without regret—I report this to you."

嗣之本名宗之，避諱改焉。 Sizhi's original name was Zongzhi; it was changed to avoid taboo.
