祁俊藻，字春圃，山西壽陽人。 Qi Junzao, whose courtesy name was Chunpu, came from Shouyang in Shanxi.

俊藻方幼，隨侍讀書不輟，賦春草詩以見志。 Still a boy, he kept reading at his father's side and wrote a poem on spring grass to show his intent.

時鄧廷楨奏擊英吉利兵船於廈門走之，忌者謂其不實，命俊藻復往按，具陳戰胜狀。 When Deng Tingzhen reported driving British ships from Xiamen, rivals called it false; Junzao was sent to verify and confirmed the victory in full.

文宗即位，拜體仁閣大學士，仍管戶部。 When Xianfeng succeeded, Junzao became grand secretary of the Tiren Hall and still headed revenue.

俊藻自道光中論洋務與穆彰阿不合，至是文宗銳意圖治，罷穆彰阿，俊藻遂領樞務，開言路，起用舊臣，俊藻左右之。 Since Daoguang he had clashed with Mujangga over foreign policy; now Xianfeng meant to govern vigorously, removed Mujangga, and Junzao led the council, reopened memorial channels, and brought back veteran ministers—Junzao at his side throughout.

又湘軍初起，肅順力言其可用，上鄉之，俊藻皆意與齟《齒吾》，屢稱病請罷，溫詔慰留。 When the Hunan Army was new, Sushun urged employing it and the emperor agreed; Junzao disagreed on every front, often pleaded illness to quit, and was warmly urged to remain.

十年，英法聯軍犯天津，車駕將幸熱河，俊藻密疏切諫。 In 1860, as Anglo-French forces threatened Tianjin and the court prepared to flee to Rehe, Junzao sent a secret, urgent remonstrance.

十一年，穆宗即位，特詔起用。 In 1861 Tongzhi succeeded and a special edict called Junzao back to office.

同治元年，穆宗入學，命直弘德殿，偕翁心存、倭仁、李鴻藻同授讀，摘錄經史二帙進呈。 In 1862, when Tongzhi began lessons, Junzao joined Weng Xincun, Woren, and Li Hongzao in the Hongde Hall, presenting two volumes of excerpts from the classics and histories.

上讀大學畢，俊藻具疏推陳為人君止於仁之義，略曰：「大學一書，皇上已成誦，凡制治保邦之道，用人行政之源，胥在於是。 When Tongzhi finished the Great Learning, Junzao memorialized on the ruler's duty to stop at benevolence, writing in part: 'Your Majesty has now mastered the Great Learning; in it are the ways to govern and secure the realm and the roots of appointing officials and conducting policy.

二年，上服除，俊藻偕倭仁、李鴻藻上疏曰：「皇上沖齡踐阼，智慧漸開。 In 1863, when mourning ended, Junzao joined Woren and Li Hongzao in a memorial: "Your Majesty took the throne very young and your mind is opening.

俊藻提倡樸學，延納寒素，士林歸之。 Junzao championed solid scholarship and welcomed poor scholars; the literati flocked to him.

五年，卒，晉贈太保，祀賢良祠，命鍾郡王奠醊，諡文端。 He died in 1866, was posthumously made grand guardian, enshrined among worthies, with Prince Zhong offering libations, and named Wenduan posthumously.

光緒初，連督安徽、順天、浙江學政，清勤愛士，一守俊藻舊規。 Early in Guangxu he supervised examinations in Anhui, Shuntian, and Zhejiang, working hard for students and keeping Junzao's standards.

同治元年，入直弘德殿，偕祁俊藻等授穆宗讀。 In 1862 he tutored Tongzhi in the Hongde Hall alongside Qi Junzao and others.

祁宿藻，字幼章，山西壽陽人，大學士俊藻弟也。 Qi Suzao, courtesy name Youzhang, was a native of Shouyang in Shanxi and the younger brother of Grand Secretary Qi Junzao.

同治初，江南平，兄俊藻遣尋其遺櫬，得之城北僻地。 Early in the Tongzhi reign, after Jiangnan was pacified, his elder brother Junzao sent men to search for his remains and found the coffin in a secluded spot north of the city.
