杜栖字孟山，吳郡錢唐人，徵士京產子也。 Du Qi, courtesy name Mengshan, was from Qiantang in Wu commandery, son of the recluse Jingchan.

同郡張融與京產相友，每相造言論，栖常在側。 Zhang Rong of the same commandery was a friend of Jingchan. Whenever they met to discuss learning, Qi was always present.

融指栖曰：「昔陳太丘之召元方，方之為劣。 Rong pointed to Qi and said: "When Chen Taqiu summoned Yuanfang, Yuanfang was the lesser son.

栖出京師，從儒士劉瓛受學。 Qi left the capital to study under the scholar Liu Huan.

國子祭酒何胤治禮，又重栖，以為學士，掌婚冠儀。 He Yin, chancellor of the Imperial University and expert in ritual, also valued Qi, made him a university scholar, and put him in charge of marriage and capping ceremonies.

栖肥白長壯，及京產疾，旬日閒便皮骨自支。 Qi had been plump, fair, and strong; when Jingchan fell ill, within ten days Qi was skin and bone.

京產亡，水漿不入口七日，晨夕不罷哭，不食鹽菜。 When Jingchan died, Qi took no food or drink for seven days, wept without cease morning and evening, and ate neither salt nor seasoned vegetables.

初，胤兄點見栖歎曰：「卿風韻如此，雖獲嘉譽，不永年矣。」 Earlier Yin's brother Dian saw Qi and sighed: "With grace like yours, though you win praise, you will not live long."
