貞孝女宗者，趙郡栢仁人，趙郡太守李叔胤之女，范陽盧元禮之妻。 The filial and chaste woman Zong was a native of Boren in Zhao Commandery, daughter of Administrator of Zhao Li Shuyin, and consort of Lu Yuanli of Fanyang.

後元禮卒，李追亡撫存，禮無違者，事姑以孝謹著。 After Yuanli died, Zong mourned him and cared for the living with scrupulous observance of ritual, becoming known for devoted service to her mother-in-law.

母崔，以神龜元年終於洛陽，凶問初到，舉聲慟絕，一宿乃蘇，水漿不入口者六日。 Her mother Cui died in Luoyang in the first year of Shengui; when the news arrived, Zong cried out and collapsed, reviving only after a night; for six days she took no food or water.

李既非嫡子，而孝不勝哀，雖乖俯就，而志厲義遠，若不加旌異，則無以勸引澆浮。 Though Zong was not a legitimate male heir, her filial devotion could not overcome her grief; though she departed from due moderation, her resolve was fierce and her righteousness profound. Without special honor, how may we guide those adrift in shallow ways?

可追號曰『貞孝女宗』，易其里為孝德里，標李盧二門，以惇風俗。」 Let her be posthumously styled the 'Filial and Chaste Woman Zong,' her lane renamed Filial Virtue Lane, and the Li and Lu households honored to enrich the customs of the realm."
