蕭濟陸瓊子從典顧野王傅縡章華 Xiao Ji; Lu Qiong; his son Congdian; Gu Yewang; Fu Zai; Zhang Hua

陸瓊字伯玉，吳郡吳人也。 Lu Qiong, styled Boyu, came from Wu in Wu commandery.

瓊幼聰惠有思理，六歲為五言詩，頗有詞采。 Qiong as a child was quick and thoughtful. At six he wrote pentasyllabic verse with real polish.

及高宗為司徒，妙簡僚佐，吏部尚書徐陵薦瓊於高宗曰：「新安王文學陸瓊，見識優敏，文史足用，進居郎署，歲月過淹，左西掾缺，允膺茲選，階次小踰，其屈滯已積。」 When Emperor Xuan was Minister of Works, he chose his staff with care. Minister of personnel Xu Ling recommended Qiong to him, saying, "Lu Qiong, literary officer to the Prince of Xin'an, is sharp in judgment and quick in mind; his command of letters and history is ample. He has lingered in the secretariat too long. The left western aide post stands open and he should fill it; only his rank is a little low, and the delay has pressed on him too long."

時宮僚有濟陽江總，吳國陸瓊，北地傅縡，吳興姚察，並以才學顯著，論者推重焉。 Among the palace staff at the time were Jiang Zong of Jiyang, Lu Qiong of Wu commandery, Fu Zai of Beidi, and Yao Cha of Wuxing; all were distinguished for talent and learning, and commentators esteemed them.

史臣曰：蕭濟、陸瓊，俱以才學顯著，顧野王博極群典，傅縡聰警特達，並一代之英靈矣。 The historiographer says: Xiao Ji and Lu Qiong both shone for talent and learning; Gu Yewang mastered the canon; Fu Zai was brilliantly sharp—all spirits of an age.
