江西學政陳寶琛疏請以先儒黃宗羲、顧炎武從祀文廟，議者多以爲未可，家鼐與潘祖蔭、翁同龢、孫詒經等再請，始議准。 When the Jiangxi educational commissioner Chen Baochen memorialized that the earlier Confucians Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu be admitted to sacrifices in the Confucian temple, many officials argued against it. Jianai joined Pan Zuyin, Weng Tonghe, Sun Yijing, and others in petitioning again, and only then was the proposal approved.
