五十三年，疎言：「臣舊居館職，奉命爲明史總裁官，與湯斌、徐乾學、葉方靄互相參訂，僅成數巻。 In year 53 he wrote: "I once served in the Hanlin Academy as chief compiler of the Ming history, working with Tang Bin, Xu Qianxue, and Ye Fang'ai; we completed only a few fascicles.

不獨臣爲然，前入直諸臣，如熊賜履、葉方靄、張玉書、孫在豐、王士禎、硃彝尊等，近今同事諸臣，如陳廷敬、徐乾學、王鴻緒、張英、勵杜訥等，莫不皆然。 Nor was I alone: earlier men who served in the direct studios—Xiong Cilü, Ye Fang'ai, Zhang Yushu, Sun Zaifeng, Wang Shizhen, Zhu Yizun—and recent colleagues such as Chen Tingjing, Xu Qianxue, Wang Hongxu, Zhang Ying, and Li Dun'e all followed the same rule.
