崔伯謙，字士遜，博陵人。 Cui Boqian, styled Shixun, came from Boling.

伯謙少孤貧，善養母。 Orphaned young and poor, Boqian was devoted to supporting his mother.

族弟暹，當時寵要，謙與之僚舊同門，非吉兇，未曾造請。 His clansman Xian then held favor and power; though they had been colleagues and schoolmates, Boqian never called on him except for weddings or funerals.

因誦民為歌曰：『崔府君，能治政，易鞭鞭，布威德，民無爭。』」 They recited the people's song: 'Prefect Cui governs well; change the whip, spread authority and virtue, and the people do not quarrel.'"

民有貧弱未理者，皆曰：「我自有白鬚公，不慮不決。」 If the poor and weak had cases unsettled, they all said, "We have our White-Beard Lord—we need not worry it will go undecided."
