孫詒經，字子授，浙江錢塘人。 Sun Yijing, courtesy name Zishou, was a native of Qiantang in Zhejiang.

未幾，復將詣恭親王府祀神，詒經再上疏，言：「聖學方新，宸修宜懋。 Before long the emperor was again to go to Prince Gong's mansion to offer sacrifices; Yijing memorialized again, saying: "Sacred learning has just been renewed; imperial self-cultivation should be redoubled.

詒經以天道感應，本諸人事，於是有遇災修省之請。 Yijing held that heavenly signs respond to human affairs; therefore he submitted a request that the court meet calamity with self-examination.

詒經復有廣開言路及罷圓明園工程之請。 Yijing again memorialized to broaden channels for frank counsel and to halt work on the Old Summer Palace.

詒經言：「能戰然後能和，兵力專顧海口，北塘覆轍可鑑。」 Yijing said: "Only when one can fight can one negotiate peace; military strength must focus on guarding the river mouth—the Beitang debacle is a lesson close at hand."

山東河工領部銀百萬，詒經廉得書吏史恩濤苛索狀，嚴責繳還，將懲治，章未上，而御史王賡榮等輒劾以輕縱。 For Shandong river works he received a million taels of ministry silver; Yijing investigated and found that the clerk Shi Entao had extorted funds, strictly ordered repayment, and was about to punish him—but before his memorial went up, Censor Wang Gengrong and others impeached him for undue leniency.

有勸引退者，詒經曰：「吾被恩遇久，遑敢佚吾身邪？」 When some urged him to withdraw, Yijing said, "I have long received imperial favor—how dare I indulge myself?"

詒經持躬清正，思以儒術救時敝。 Yijing conducted himself with integrity and sought to remedy the age's ills through Confucian learning.

十六年，卒，優詔賜卹，諡文愨。 In the sixteenth year he died; an excellent edict granted condolence gifts, and he was given the posthumous name Wenque (Sincere and Diligent).

其時傳言車駕將幸惇親王府，召集梨園，同善聞之，與孫詒經合疏諫止。 At that time rumor spread that the emperor would visit Prince Dun's mansion and summon opera troupes; on hearing this, Tongshan joined Sun Yijing in a joint memorial urging that the visit be canceled.
