貞實（上陟程反周易貞正也謚法曰德政應和曰貞內外無壞曰貞直道不撓曰貞說文卜問也鄭玄曰問事之政也從卜貝或從鼎省聲經從示或從木作棹楨非也）。

Steadfast and upright [貞實] (the first character is zhi + cheng fan; the Zhouyi says: "*Zhen* [貞] is uprightness." The Rules of Posthumous Titles say: "When virtuous administration is responded to harmoniously, it is called *zhen*; when inside and outside are intact without ruin, it is called *zhen*; when straight on the way without yielding, it is called *zhen*." The Shuowen says: "To divine by asking." Zheng Xuan says: "Inquiring into the governance of affairs." It is composed of 卜 [divination] and 貝 [cowrie], or with 鼎 [tripod] abbreviated as phonogram. In the scripture it is written with 示, or with 木 as 棹 or 楨, which are incorrect.)
