潘祖廕李文田孫詒經夏同善張家驤 Pan Zuyin, Li Wentian, Sun Yijing, Xia Tongshan, and Zhang Jiaxiang

張家驤，字子騰，浙江鄞縣人。 Zhang Jiaxiang, courtesy name Ziteng, was a native of Yin County in Zhejiang.

家驤念典學方新，講求上理，萬一言利之臣隨聲附和，一言僨事，關係匪輕，乃力陳三弊阻止之。 Jiaxiang, mindful that canonical learning had just been renewed and the pursuit of higher principle was paramount, feared that if profit-seeking ministers echoed one another a single misstep would have grave consequences; he forcefully set forth three harms to block the project.

然自是御史洪良品陳五害，侍講張楷陳九不利，並隨家驤而上諫書矣，事竟寢。 Yet thereafter Censor Hong Liangpin set forth five harms and Lecturer Zhang Kai nine disadvantages, and together with Jiaxiang they submitted admonitory memorials; the matter was ultimately shelved.

家驤純謹好學，一謝時趨。 Jiaxiang was pure, cautious, and devoted to learning; he wholly rejected fashionable trends.

十年，卒，上悼惜，賜祭葬如製，諡文莊。 In the tenth year he died; the emperor mourned him and granted sacrificial burial as regulations provided; he was given the posthumous name Wenzhuang (Solemn in Culture).

詒經重實學，同善崇聖德，家驤盡心誨納，英麟早勵風節，並無愧師儒。 Yijing valued practical learning; Tongshan revered sacred virtue; Jiaxiang devoted himself to instruction and counsel; Yinglin early cultivated integrity of conduct—all were worthy teachers of scholars.
