大而化之曰'聖',剛德克就曰'肅',思慮深遠曰'翼',一德不懈曰'簡',請上皇曾祖太師尊諡曰聖肅皇帝,廟號世祖,妣曰翼簡皇后。 Sheng is for great transformation of all under Heaven, su for firm virtue brought to completion, yi for deep thought and far-reaching consideration, jian for single-minded virtue without slackening—we ask that the imperial great-grandfather, Grand Preceptor, receive the posthumous title Emperor Shengsu, with the temple name Shizu, and that his consort be titled Empress Yijian.
是歲閏十一月,增上祖宗尊諡,始祖景元皇帝曰懿憲景元皇帝,德皇帝曰淵穆玄德皇帝,安皇帝曰和靖慶安皇帝,獻祖定昭皇帝曰純烈定昭皇帝,昭祖成襄皇帝曰武惠成襄皇帝,景祖惠桓皇帝曰英烈惠桓皇帝,世祖聖肅皇帝曰神武聖肅皇帝,肅宗穆憲皇帝曰明睿穆憲皇帝,穆宗孝平皇帝曰章順孝平皇帝,康宗恭簡皇帝曰獻敏恭簡皇帝,太宗文烈皇帝曰體元應運世德昭功哲惠仁聖文烈皇帝,徽宗景宣皇帝曰允恭克讓孝德玄功佑聖景宣皇帝,已上廟號如故。 In the intercalary eleventh month of that year the court augmented the posthumous titles of the imperial ancestors: Founder Emperor Jingyuan became Emperor Yixian Jingyuan; Emperor De became Emperor Yuanmu Xuande; Emperor An became Emperor Hejing Qing'an; Xianzu Emperor Dingzhao became Emperor Chunlie Dingzhao; Zhaozu Emperor Chengxiang became Emperor Wuhui Chengxiang; Jingzu Emperor Huihuan became Emperor Yinglie Huihuan; Shizu Emperor Shengsu became Emperor Shenwu Shengsu; Suzong Emperor Muxian became Emperor Mingrui Muxian; Muzong Emperor Xiaoping became Emperor Zhangshun Xiaoping; Kangzong Emperor Gongjian became Emperor Xianmin Gongjian; Taizong Emperor Wenlie became Emperor Tiyuan Yingyun Shide Zhaogong Zhehui Rensheng Wenlie; Huizong Emperor Jingxuan became Emperor Yungong Kerang Xiaode Xuangong Yousheng Jingxuan—the temple names listed above remained unchanged.
