贊曰：折宗以沖幼踐阼，宣仁同政。 初年召用馬、呂諸賢，罷青苗，復常平，登俊良，辟言路，天下人心，翕然向治。 而元祐之政，庶幾仁宗。 奈何熙、豐舊奸枿去未盡，已而媒蘖復用，卒假紹述之言，務反前政，報復善良，馴致黨籍禍興，君子盡斥，而宋政益敝矣。 籲，可惜哉！
Appraisal: Zhezong came to the throne very young and Xuanren ruled with him. At first he recalled Ma and Lü worthies, ended Green Sprouts, restored Ever-Normal Granaries, raised the able, and opened remonstrance—and hearts everywhere turned toward order. Yuanyou rule nearly matched Renzong’s. Yet Xining–Yuanfeng villains were not uprooted; slander soon restored them; under “continuing the legacy” they reversed prior policy, punished the good, filled the party registers, expelled gentlemen, and Song rule grew weaker. Alas—what a pity!
