沈初金士松鄒炳泰戴聯奎王懿修子宗誠黃鉞 Shen Chu, Jin Shisong, Zou Bingtai, Dai Liankui, Wang Yixiu (and his son Zong Cheng), and Huang Yue

黃鉞，字左田，安徽當塗人。 Huang Yue, courtesy name Zuotian, was from Dangtu in Anhui.

時和珅管部務，鉞不欲趨附，乞假歸，不出。 Heshen then controlled the ministry; Yue refused to court him, took leave, went home, and stayed out of office.

鉞以實對，荷溫諭，尋直懋勤殿。 Yue answered frankly, received a warm response, and was soon assigned to the Hall of Assiduous Cultivation.

鉞受仁宗特達之知，久直內廷，書畫並被宸賞。 Yue enjoyed the Jiaqing Emperor's special favor; he served long in the inner court, and both his calligraphy and painting won imperial praise.

宣宗即位，始畀樞務，甚優禮之。 When the Daoguang Emperor acceded, Yue was first given a seat on the Grand Council and treated with great deference.

二十一年，卒，年九十二，贈太子太保，諡勤敏。 He died in Daoguang 21 at ninety-two, was posthumously made Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent, and received the posthumous title Qinmin.

黃鉞以不附和珅，特邀殊遇，改授館職，馴參機務。 Huang Yue, for refusing to follow Heshen, won special favor, was transferred to Hanlin service, and eventually joined the Grand Council.
