Open chapter

沈維鐈，字子彝，浙江嘉興人。 Shen Weiqiao, whose style was Ziyi, came from Jiaxing in Zhejiang.

維鐈居官廉，屢視學，所至弊絕風清，振拔多知名士，宣宗知之，期滿連任。 Weiqiao served with integrity. On repeated tours as educational commissioner he cleared abuses wherever he went, elevated many renowned scholars, and won notice from Emperor Xuanzong, who reappointed him when his term ended.

維鐈學以宋儒為歸，謂典章制度與夫聲音訓詁當宗漢人，而道理則備於程、硃，務為身心有用之學。 Weiqiao took the Song Confucians as his standard. He held that institutions and phonological exegesis should follow Han scholarship, while moral principle was fully articulated by Cheng and Zhu, and he pursued learning of real use to body and mind.

論曰：宣宗最重文學廉謹之臣，辛從益直言獻納，張鱗廉介絕俗，沈維鐈服膺理學，程恩澤博物冠時，皆負清望。 The commentary states: Emperor Xuanzong most valued literary, incorrupt, and careful ministers. Xin Congyi spoke frankly in counsel, Zhang Lin was upright beyond the common run, Shen Weiqiao embraced Neo-Confucian learning, and Cheng Enze was unrivaled in breadth of learning—all enjoyed clear reputations.
