《宋史·本纪·卷十二》
评论说：仁宗谦恭、节俭、仁慈、宽厚，这是出于天性，一遇到水早灾害，或者在宫中秘密祈祷，或赤脚站在大殿下面。
赞曰：仁宗恭俭仁恕，出于天性，一遇水旱，或密祷禁庭，或跣立殿下。
Commentary: Renzong was humble, thrifty, benevolent, and lenient and these qualities came naturally to him. Whenever there was a drought or a flood, he would secretly pray either in the palace or stand barefoot under the great hall.
