戴聯奎，字紫垣，江蘇如皋人。 Dai Liankui, courtesy name Ziyuan, was from Rugao in Jiangsu.

聯奎少從邵晉涵受經學，既通籍，以清節自厲，在翰林久不遷。 Liankui studied classics under Shao Jinhan as a youth; once in office he held himself to strict integrity and lingered in the Hanlin without advancement.

大學士嵇璜掌院事，將保送御史，列聯奎名，滿掌院學士曰：「吾未識其人，何以論其才否？」 When Grand Secretary Ji Huang, as academy chief, listed Liankui among censor nominees, the Manchu chancellor objected: "I do not know him—how can I judge his ability?"

璜以語聯奎，使往見，聯奎漫應之，不往。 Ji Huang told Liankui to call on the chancellor; Liankui gave a vague reply and never went.

及京察舉一等，又列聯奎名，復言如前，終不得與，璜乃益重之。 At the next capital review he was again nominated, and the chancellor repeated the same objection; Liankui was passed over again, and Ji Huang respected him all the more.

和珅為掌院，訪時望傅其子丰紳殷德，或薦晉涵及聯奎，晉涵移病歸，聯奎亦堅辭。 When Heshen headed the academy he sought tutors for his son Fengshen Yinde; Shao Jinhan and Liankui were suggested, but Jinhan pleaded illness and went home and Liankui firmly refused.

鄒炳泰、戴聯奎皆有耿介之操，晚節枯菀乃殊，要不失為端人焉。 Zou Bingtai and Dai Liankui were both men of upright character; their late careers ended differently, yet both remained men of integrity.
