贊曰：昔夏後氏傳五世而後羿篡，少康復立而祀夏； 周傳九世而厲王死于彘，宣王復立而繼周； 漢傳十有一世而新莽竊位，光武復立而興漢； 晉傳四世有懷、湣之禍，元帝正位於建鄴； 唐傳六世有安、史之難，肅宗即位于靈武； 宋傳九世而徽、欽陷於金，高宗纘圖于南京：六君者，史皆稱為中興，而有異同焉。 夏經羿、浞，周曆共和，漢間新室、更始，晉、唐、宋則歲月相續者也。 蕭王、琅琊皆出疏屬，少康、宣王、肅宗、高宗則父子相承者也。 至於克復舊物，則晉元與宋高宗視四君者有餘責焉。 高宗恭儉仁厚，以之繼體守文則有餘，以之撥亂反正則非其才也。 況時危勢逼，兵弱財匱，而事之難處又有甚於數君者乎？ 君子于此，蓋亦有憫高宗之心，而重傷其所遭之不幸也。 然當其初立，因四方勤王之師，內相李綱，外任宗澤，天下之事宜無不可為者。 顧乃播遷窮僻，重以苗、劉群盜之亂，權宜立國，確虖艱哉。 其始惑于汪、黃，其終制於奸檜，恬墮猥懦，坐失事機。 甚而趙鼎、張浚相繼竄斥，岳飛父子竟死于大功垂成之秋。 一時有志之士，為之扼腕切齒。 帝方偷安忍恥，匿怨忘親，卒不免于來世之誚，悲夫！
Appraisal: In antiquity Xia passed five generations before Hou Yi usurped; Shaokang restored the line and sacrificed to Xia. Zhou passed nine generations before King Li died at Zhi; King Xuan restored Zhou. Han passed eleven generations before Xin Mang seized power; Guangwu restored Han. Jin passed four generations to the disasters of Huai and Min; Emperor Yuan took the throne at Jiankang. Tang passed six generations to the An–Shi rebellion; Emperor Suzong took the throne at Lingwu. Song passed nine generations before Huizong and Qinzong fell to the Jin; Gaozong continued the line at the Southern Capital: history calls all six restorations, yet they differ. Xia endured Yi and Zhuo; Zhou had the Gonghe regency; Han the Xin and Gengshi interludes; Jin, Tang, and Song kept succession by the calendar. The Prince of Xiao and Langye came from distant branches; Shaokang, King Xuan, Suzong, and Gaozong succeeded father to son. In recovering the old realm, Jin's Yuan and Song's Gaozong fall short of the other four. Gaozong was respectful, frugal, benevolent, and generous — fit to inherit and keep culture, but not to set chaos right. Moreover, danger pressed, armies were weak, funds exhausted, and his hardships exceeded those other rulers' — did they not? Here the gentleman surely pities Gaozong and mourns the misfortune he met. Yet at his first enthronement, with armies rallying everywhere, Li Gang within and Zong Ze without, nothing should have been impossible. Instead he wandered to remote corners, battered again by Miao and Liu rebels — a state held by expediency, how hard! At first he was misled by Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan; in the end controlled by traitor Qin, content in cowardice, losing every chance. Worse, Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun were driven out in turn, and Yue Fei and his son died as success neared. Men of purpose in that age clenched fists and ground teeth. The emperor instead sought ease and bore shame, hid resentment and forgot kin, and could not escape later ages' blame — pitiful indeed!
