文悌江春霖 Wen Ti and Jiang Chunlin

江春霖，字杏村，福建莆田人。 Jiang Chunlin, styled Xingcun, was from Putian in Fujian.

春霖獨論列十二事，謂：「洪範有言：'臣之有作威作福，其害於爾家，兇於爾國。 Chunlin alone set forth twelve matters, saying: "The Hongfan says: 'When ministers make might and blessings, it harms your house and is baleful to your state.'

春霖謂：「古者鄭寵共叔，失教旋譏，漢驕厲王，不容終病，載在史冊，為萬世戒。 Chunlin said: "In antiquity, when Zheng favored Gongshu, loss of instruction brought swift reproach; when Han favored the arrogant Prince Li, he was not allowed to end his illness—these are recorded in the histories as warnings for ten thousand generations.

春霖遂稱疾歸。 Chunlin then pleaded illness and returned home.

文悌言攻結黨，實啟黨爭，而春霖連劾權貴，言尤痛切，當國者終於不悟。 Wen Ti attacked factionalism in words but in fact opened party struggle; Chunlin repeatedly impeached the powerful, his words especially cutting—yet those who held the state never understood in the end.
