郭世隆，字昌伯，漢軍鑲紅旗人。 Guo Shilong, whose style was Changbo, came from the Chinese Bordered Red Banner.

康熙四年，世隆襲管佐領，授禮部員外郎，改御史。 In Kangxi 4 (1665) Shilong inherited his father's assistant banner command, became a vice director in the Ministry of Rites, and was transferred to the censorate.

二十七年，盛京福陵守兵訴其兄冤死，命世隆往按，得誣良刑偪自縊狀，原審侍郎阿禮瑚等坐失實奪官。 In Kangxi 27 (1688), guards at Mukden's Fuling mausoleum appealed that Shilong's brother had been wrongfully killed; ordered to investigate, he proved framing, torture, and forced suicide, and the original reviewers, including Vice Minister Alihu, were stripped of office for false findings.

聖祖謁孝陵，經通州，山西禮縣民訴知縣萬世緯及知府紀元婪索狀，命世隆會督撫按治。 When the Kangxi Emperor visited the Xiaoling mausoleum and passed Tongzhou, people of Lixian in Shanxi accused Magistrate Wan Shiwei and Prefect Ji Yuan of extortion; Shilong was ordered to investigate jointly with the governor-general and governor.

上聞疑之，命世隆往按，發仲舉與前布政使張汧竄改賦冊、侵隱已徵額銀捏作民欠，又汧遷湖廣巡撫虧福建庫帑三十餘萬，仲舉前任湖南布政亦虧帑，相約互抵； The emperor grew suspicious and sent Shilong to investigate. He found that Zhongju and former Administration Commissioner Zhang Qian had altered tax registers, concealed collected revenues, and fabricated popular arrears; Zhang Qian, now Huguang governor, had left Fujian's treasury short more than three hundred thousand taels, and Zhongju had done the same in Hunan—they had agreed to cover for each other;

世隆之任，帝諭曰：「於成龍居官甚善，繼之不易，爾當勤慎任事。」 When Shilong took office, the emperor told him: "Yu Chenglong governed exceedingly well; succeeding him will not be easy—you must serve diligently and carefully."

順天、保定、真定、永平諸府旱，世隆奉命履勘，疏言：「被災者七十四州縣，請蠲本年及來年額賦。 Drought struck Shuntian, Baoding, Zhending, Yongping, and other prefectures; ordered to inspect in person, Shilong memorialized: "Seventy-four prefectures and counties had been hit; I ask to remit this year's and next year's tax quotas.

世隆疏請蠲賦，並發帑二十萬，乞糴江、浙，海運平糶，詔俞之。 Shilong sought tax relief and two hundred thousand taels from the treasury to buy grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and sell it fairly by sea; the court agreed.

三十八年，上南巡，世隆迎駕，至杭州，民擁輿赴訴。 In Kangxi 38 (1699), during the southern tour, Shilong met the emperor at Hangzhou, where people mobbed his chair with petitions.

世隆疏定營製，增設兵船巡哨，迭擊敗海盜，沉其舟四十五。 Shilong standardized camp organization, added patrol vessels, repeatedly defeated pirates, and sank forty-five of their ships.

上遣刑部侍郎常綬往勘，因議世隆平時禁賊不嚴，盜發，朦朧掩飾，坐奪官。 The emperor sent Vice Minister of Punishments Chang Shou to investigate; Shilong was found to have been lax about piracy in peacetime and to have glossed over the outbreak, and he was stripped of office.

五十年，以山西流匪陳四等潛入湖廣，鳩黨劫掠，世隆前任總督坐失察，奪官。 In Kangxi 50 (1711), when Shanxi bandits led by Chen Si infiltrated Huguang and raided, Shilong was punished for failing to detect them during his earlier term and lost his post.
