理宗建道備德大功復興烈文仁武聖明安孝皇帝，諱昀，太祖十世孫。 父希瓐，追封榮王，家於紹興府山陰縣，母全氏。 以開禧元年正月癸亥生於邑中虹橋裏第。 前一夕，榮王夢一紫衣金帽人來謁，比寤，夜漏未盡十刻，室中五采爛然，赤光屬天，如日正中。 既誕三日，家人聞戶外車馬聲，亟出，無所睹。 幼嘗晝寢，人忽見身隱隱如龍鱗。 是時，寧宗弟沂靖惠王薨，無嗣，以宗室希瞿子賜名均爲沂王后，尋改賜名貴和。 嘉定十三年八月，景獻太子薨，寧宗以國本未立，選太祖十世孫年十五以上者教育，如高宗擇普安、恩平故事，遂以十四年六月丙寅立貴和爲皇子，改賜名竑，而以帝嗣沂王。 六月乙亥，補秉義郎。 八月甲子，授右監門衛大將軍，賜名貴誠。 十五年五月丁巳，以竑爲檢校少保，進封濟國公。 己未，以帝爲邵州防禦使。 帝性凝重寡言，潔修好學，每朝參待漏，或多笑語，帝獨儼然。 出入殿庭，矩度有常，見者斂容。 會濟國公竑與丞相史彌遠有違言，彌遠日謀媒蘖其失于寧宗，屬意於帝而未遂。
Emperor Lizong—posthumously honored as Jian Dao Bei De Da Gong Fu Xing Lie Wen Ren Wu Sheng Ming An Xiao—whose personal name was Yun, was a tenth-generation descendant of Emperor Taizu. His father Xi Yong was later posthumously enfeoffed as Prince of Rong; the household was in Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture; his mother was of the Quan clan. He was born on guihai of the first month in the first year of Kaiyi (1205), at the family house in Rainbow Bridge Lane. The night before, the Prince of Rong dreamed that a visitor in purple robes and a golden cap came to call; when he woke, before ten night-watches had elapsed, the room shone with all five colors, and scarlet light rose to the sky as though the sun stood at noon. Three days after the birth, the family heard the sound of chariots and horses outside the door; they hurried out at once, yet saw no one. As a boy he once napped by day, and someone suddenly noticed his body seeming faintly covered with dragon scales. At that time Ningzong's younger brother, the Prince of Yijing and Huai, died without issue; Xi Qu's son in the imperial clan, given the name Jun, was adopted as heir to the Prince of Yi, and soon renamed Guihe. In the eighth month of the thirteenth year of Jiading (1220), the Jingxian Crown Prince died. With the imperial succession still unsettled, Ningzong chose tenth-generation descendants of Taizu who were fifteen or older for training, following the precedent of Gaozong's selection between the Pu'an and Enping lines; on bingyin of the sixth month in the fourteenth year (1221) Guihe was established as crown prince, renamed Gou, while the future emperor was made heir to the Prince of Yi. On yihai of the sixth month he was appointed Bearer of Righteousness Gentleman. On jiazi of the eighth month he was made Grand General of the Right Gate Guard and granted the name Guicheng. On dingsi of the fifth month in the fifteenth year of Jiading (1222), Gou was appointed acting Junior Guardian and promoted to Duke of Ji. On jiwei he was appointed Defender of Shaozhou. The future emperor was by nature grave and sparing of words; he cherished purity and loved learning. Whenever the court assembled before dawn, others might jest and talk, but he alone sat in solemn stillness. Coming and going in the palace halls, his bearing was always measured; all who saw him straightened their demeanor. About then Duke of Ji Gou fell out with Chief Minister Shi Miyuan, who daily plotted to bring Gou's faults before Ningzong while turning his hopes toward the future emperor—yet he had not yet succeeded.
