庾黔婁 Yu Qianlou

庾黔婁字子貞，新野人也。 Yu Qianlou, styled Zi Zhen, was from Xinye.

黔婁少好學，多講誦《孝經》，未嘗失色於人，南陽高士劉虬、宗測並歎異之。 From youth he loved learning, often expounded the Classic of Filial Piety, never lost composure before others; Nanyang worthies Liu Qiu and Zong Ce both admired him.

黔婁至，虎皆渡往臨沮界，當時以爲仁化所感。 When Qianlou came the tigers all crossed into Linju; men said humane rule had moved them.

齊永元初，除孱陵令，到縣未旬，易在家遘疾，黔婁忽然心驚，舉身流汗，卽日棄官歸家，家人悉驚其忽至。 Early in Qi Yongyuan he became Chanling magistrate; within ten days Yi fell ill at home; Qianlou felt a sudden dread, broke into sweat, and that day quit office and ran home—kin were stunned.

易泄痢，黔婁輒取嘗之，味轉甜滑，心逾憂苦。 Yi had dysentery; Qianlou tasted it—the flavor grew sweet and smooth, and his grief deepened.

及晦而易亡，黔婁居喪過禮，廬于冢側。 On the last day Yi died; Qianlou mourned beyond measure and hutched beside the tomb.

和帝卽位，將起之，鎮軍蕭穎胄手書敦譬，黔婁固辭。 When Emperor He acceded they meant to call him; Pacifying Army Xiao Yingzhou wrote urging him, but Qianlou refused firmly.

梁臺建，鄧元起爲益州刺史，表黔婁爲府長史、巴西、梓潼二郡太守。 As Liang was forming Deng Yuanqi became Yizhou inspector and named Qianlou headquarters chief clerk and governor of Baxi and Zitong.

及成都平，城中珍寶山積，元起悉分與僚佐，惟黔婁一無所取。 When Chengdu fell treasures heaped in the city; Yuanqi shared them among his staff, but Qianlou took nothing.

黔婁示不違之，請書數篋。 Qianlou seemed to comply but asked only for a few baskets of books.

元起死于蜀，部曲皆散，黔婁身營殯殮，攜持喪柩歸鄉里。 Yuanqi died in Shu and his troops dispersed; Qianlou himself arranged the funeral and bore the coffin home.
