溉，〔一〕時梁州刺史陰子春、領軍朱异在焉。 Collation variant: (Gai), [1] At that time Liang inspector of Liangzhou Yin Zichun and director of the palace guard Zhu Yi were present.

子春素知申，即於坐所呼與為對，〔二〕申每有妙思，异觀而奇之，因引申遊處。 Zichun had long known Shen and immediately at the gathering called him to play a match, [2] Shen had fine conceptions each time; Yi watched and marveled, and thereafter drew Shen into his company.

陰子春，字幼文，武威姑臧人也。 Yin Zichun, styled Youwen, was from Guzang in Wuwei.

子春，天監初，起家宣惠將軍、西陽太守。 Zichun began under Heavenly Surveillance as General of Manifest Grace and Xiyang governor.

屬侯景亂，世祖令子春隨領軍將軍王僧辯攻邵陵王於郢州，平之。 When Hou Jing rebelled Shizu ordered Zichun to follow Wang Sengbian against the Prince of Shaoling at E and pacify him.

又與左衛將軍徐文盛東討侯景，至貝磯，與景遇，子春力戰，恒冠諸軍，頻敗景。 Again with Xu Wensheng he marched east against Hou Jing; at Shell Ford they met Jing; Zichun fought at the fore and beat him again and again.
