世延歷事凡九朝,揚歷省臺五十餘年,負經濟之資,而將之以忠義,守之以清介,飾之以文學,凡軍國利病,生民休戚,知無不言,而於儒者名教尤拳拳焉。 Shiyan served nine reigns and spent more than fifty years in provincial administration and the censorate. He had talent for statecraft, disciplined it with loyalty and righteousness, guarded it with integrity, and adorned it with learning. On every matter affecting the state or the people he spoke without reserve, and he was especially devoted to Confucian moral teaching.
