時劉麟以知府罷歸，龍霓以僉事謝政，並客湖州，與郡人故御史陵昆善，而長興吳珫隱居好客，三人者並主於其家。 At the time Liu Lin had returned home after leaving office as prefect, and Long Ni had retired from his post as commissioner. Both were staying in Huzhou and were friendly with the former censor Ling Kun of the prefecture, while Wu Qiong of Changxing lived in seclusion and loved to entertain guests. The three all lodged as guests in Qiong's home.

珫因招一元入社，稱「苕溪五隱」。 Qiong therefore invited Yiyuan into their circle and called them the "Five Recluses of Tiaoxi."

珫等葬之道場山。 Qiong and the others buried him on Mount Daochang.
