贊曰：理宗享國久長，與仁宗同。然仁宗之世，賢相相繼。理宗四十年之間，若李宗勉、崔與之、吳潛之賢，皆弗究於用；而史彌遠、丁大全、賈似道竊弄威福，與相始終。治效之不及慶曆、嘉祐，宜也。蔡州之役，幸依大朝以定夾攻之策，及函守緒遺骨，俘宰臣天綱，歸獻廟社，亦可以刷會稽之恥，復齊襄之仇矣。顧乃貪地棄盟，入洛之師，事釁隨起，兵連禍結，境土日蹙。郝經來使，似道諱言其納幣請和，蒙蔽抑塞，拘留不報，自速滅亡。籲，可惜哉！由其中年嗜欲既多，怠于政事，權移奸臣，經筵性命之講，徒資虛談，固無益也。雖然，宋嘉定以來，正邪貿亂，國是靡定，自帝繼統，首黜王安石孔廟從祀，升濂、洛九儒，表章朱熹《四書》，丕變士習，視前朝奸黨之碑、偽學之禁，豈不大有徑庭也哉！身當季運，弗獲大效，後世有以理學復古帝王之治者，考論匡直輔翼之功，實自帝始焉。廟號曰「理」，其殆庶乎！

The encomium reads: Lizong enjoyed a long reign, equal to that of Renzong. Yet in Renzong's time worthy chief ministers succeeded one another. During Lizong's forty years, worthy men such as Li Zongmian, Cui Zhizhi, and Wu Qian were never fully put to use; while Shi Miyuan, Ding Daquan, and Jia Sidao usurped power and favor, serving as chief ministers from beginning to end. That his governance fell short of the Qingli and Jiayou eras was only to be expected. In the Caizhou campaign, he was fortunate to rely on the Great Court to settle a strategy of converging attack; when Shouxu's bones were sent in a casket and the chief minister Tiangang was captured and presented at the ancestral temple, he might have washed away the shame of Kuaiji and avenged the wrong done to Duke Xiang of Qi. Yet he grew greedy for territory and abandoned the alliance; the army sent into Luoyang provoked fresh incidents, war bred disaster upon disaster, and the realm shrank day by day. When Hao Jing came as envoy, Sidao concealed his offer of tribute and plea for peace, deceived and obstructed the court, detained him without reply, and thus hastened the dynasty's ruin. Alas, what a pity! From his middle years his appetites multiplied, he grew slack in government, power passed to treacherous ministers, and lectures on nature and fate at the classics mat amounted to empty talk that truly did no good. Nevertheless, since the Jiading era, orthodox and heterodox learning had been confused and national policy unsettled; from the time this emperor succeeded he first removed Wang Anshi from Confucian temple sacrifices, elevated the nine scholars of Lian and Luo, and honored Zhu Xi's Four Books, greatly transforming scholarly custom—compared with the previous dynasty's stele of treacherous factions and ban on heterodox learning, was this not a world apart! He himself stood in a declining age and achieved little in his lifetime, yet if later ages should restore the governance of ancient emperors through Neo-Confucian learning, those who weigh the merit of upright assistance will find that it truly began with this emperor. His temple name is Li, and it is perhaps not far from the mark!
