He was one of the most celebrated officials of Wu Zetian's reign. Di Renjie is depicted in the Wu Shuang Pu (無雙譜, Table of Peerless Heroes) by Jin Guliang.
- ^ (久视元年...九月辛丑，狄仁杰薨。) Xin Tang Shu, vol.04. Volume 207 of Zizhi Tongjian also recorded the same death date, while Wu Zetian's biography in Old Book of Tang only recorded that he died in the 9th month of that year (recorded as the 3rd year of the Sheng'li era), which corresponds to 17 Oct to 14 Nov 700 in the Julian calendar. His biography in New Book of Tang indicate that he was 71 (by East Asian reckoning) when he died. (圣历三年卒，年七十一。) Xin Tang Shu, vol.115
