張仁黼，字劭予，河南固始人。 Zhang Renfu, courtesy name Shaoyu, was a native of Gushi in Henan.

仁黼謂：「今日國勢極危，而人心未去者，良由世祖除明季三餉； Renfu said, "Today the state's situation is extremely perilous, yet the people's hearts have not departed—this is truly because the Shunzhi Emperor abolished the Ming dynasty's three levies;

仁黼內行修，不自標異。 Renfu's private conduct was cultivated; he did not set himself apart.

仁黼忽索取金，眾始安，然頗怪其失操。 Renfu suddenly demanded the funds; his colleagues were reassured, yet many wondered at his lapse in integrity.

已而河南巡撫上言紳士助學校金，不受獎敘，數與之同。 Before long the Henan governor reported that gentry had contributed school funds; Renfu had not accepted reward or promotion, and the amount matched the funds he had taken.

仁黼、亨嘉尤惓惓於明法修學，後先相望，其風采皆隱然可見焉。 Renfu and Hengjia were especially earnest in clarifying law and cultivating learning; succeeding one another in office, their bearing can still be dimly discerned.
