陳吏部尚書姚察曰：陸倕博涉文理，到洽匪躬貞勁，明山賓儒雅篤實，殷鈞靜素恬和，陸襄淳深孝性，雖任遇有異，皆列於名臣矣。 Yao Cha, director of the Ministry of Personnel of Chen, said: Lu Chui broadly penetrated literary principles; Dao Qia with his whole person was upright and firm; Ming Shanbin was elegant in Confucian learning and sincere and solid; Yin Jun was quiet, plain, tranquil, and harmonious; Lu Xiang was pure, deep, and filial in nature—though their appointments differed, all were listed among famous ministers.
