袁州佐，字左之，山東濟寧人。 Yuan Zhouzuo, courtesy name Zuozhi, came from Jining in Shandong.

時山陵工巨，經費浩穰，州佐曰：「民困極矣，寸縑尺縷，皆閭閻膏血！」 Imperial tomb works were vast and costly; Zhouzuo said: "The people are exhausted—every inch of cloth is their lifeblood!"

歲協西寧餽運，負載千里，甘州民苦之，州佐力請得罷。 Annual Xining convoys over a thousand li burdened Ganzhou; Zhouzuo had the practice abolished.

州佐請按籍覈實，清宿蠹。 Zhouzuo asked to verify registers and purge old corruption.

州佐擘畫盤錯，致疾乞休，未去官，卒。 Wrestling with knotty affairs he fell ill, sought retirement, and died still in post.

州佐在甘州久，言邊境要害戰守狀，原委斠然。 Long at Ganzhou, he spoke of frontier defense with exhaustive clarity.

時詔簡監司具才望者入為卿貳，州佐在選，會卒，未及用。 An edict chose distinguished circuit officials for central posts; Zhouzuo was selected but died before taking office.

州佐、士弘勤勤重民事； Zhouzuo and Shihong tirelessly served the people's needs;
