張四維，字子維，蒲州人．嘉靖三十二年進士．改庶吉士，授編修．隆慶初，進右中允，直經筵，尋遷左諭德．四維倜儻有才智，明習時事．楊博、王崇古久歷邊陲，善談兵．四維，博同里而崇古姊子也，以故亦習知邊務．高拱深器之． Zhang Siwei, styled Ziwei, came from Puzhou. He passed the jinshi examination in the thirty-second year of the Jiajing reign, entered the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, and was appointed compiler. At the start of the Longqing reign he rose to Right Middle Submitter and served at the Classics Lectern, then soon became Left Mentor. Siwei was bold and able, with a keen grasp of affairs of the day. Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu had long experience on the frontier and were adept at military discussion; Siwei was Bo's townsman and Chonggu's nephew by marriage, and so he too grew familiar with border affairs. Gao Gong held him in high regard.
