湛甘泉先生官至高位(上卿,相当于高级部长),但日常衣食非常俭朴节约,将自己所有的余财都用来供给家人和弟子们。在他的大小宗族内设立了“义田”(用于公益或教育的田产)和“合食田”(用于支持族人聚餐的田产),追随他学习的士人有两千九百多人。在(南海)沙贝乡,设有甘泉、独冈、莲洞等书院学馆(提供食宿)。在增城、龙门,设有明诚、龙潭书院学馆。在广州城(会城),设有夭关、小禺、白云、上塘、蒲涧书院学馆。在西樵山,设有大科、云谷、天阶书院学馆。在罗浮山,设有朱明、青霞、天华书院学馆。在曲江,设有帽峰书院学馆;在英德,设有清溪、灵泉书院学馆。在南京(南都),设有新泉、同人、惠化书院学馆。在溧阳,设有张公洞口、甘泉书院学馆。在扬州,设有城外行薖、甘泉山书院学馆。在池州,设有九华山、中华书院学馆。在徽州,设有福山、斗山书院学馆。在武夷山,设有六曲仙掌、一曲王湛会讲(纪念王阳明与湛若水会讲)书院学馆。在南岳衡山,设有紫云书院学馆。他一生都把振兴教育、培养贤才作为自己的责任,所到之处,都建立了书院(精舍)并配备了维持运作的田产(赡田),以方便前来求学的人。因此,他所培养造就的士人,都从先生的学问中有所获益,用来修养自身品德,并进而造福他人。孟子把得到天下的优秀人才并加以教育视为人生的一大乐趣,像甘泉先生这样的人,可以说是真正得到了这种乐趣了。我们作为孔子、孟子的后学,如果显贵而身居高位,应当以甘泉先生为榜样。

Master Zhan Ganquan reached a high official rank (Shangqing, equivalent to a senior minister), yet his daily clothing and food were very simple and frugal. He used all his surplus wealth to support his family members and disciples. Within his major and minor lineage branches, he established "righteous fields" (Yitian, land for public welfare or education) and "communal meal fields" (Heshi Tian, land to support clan gatherings). The scholars who followed him to study numbered over 2,900. In Shabei Township (Nanhai), there were the Ganquan, Dugang, and Liandong academies/lodges (Guangu, providing board and lodging). In Zengcheng and Longmen, there were the Mingcheng and Longtan academies. In Guangzhou city (Huicheng), there were the Yaoguan, Xiaoyu, Baiyun, Shangtang, and Pujian academies. At Mount Xiqiao, there were the Dake, Yungu, and Tianjie academies. At Mount Luofu, there were the Zhuming, Qingxia, and Tianhua academies. In Qujiang, there was the Maofeng academy; in Yingde, there were the Qingxi and Lingquan academies. In Nanjing (Southern Capital), there were the Xinquan, Tongren, and Huihua academies. In Liyang, there were the Zhanggongdongkou and Ganquan academies. In Yangzhou, there were the Chengwai Xingke and Ganquan Shan academies. In Chizhou, there were the Jiuhua Shan and Zhonghua academies. In Huizhou, there were the Fushan and Doushan academies. At Mount Wuyi, there were the Liugu Xianzhang and Yiqu Wang-Zhan Huijiang (commemorating the joint lecture of Wang Yangming and Zhan Ruoshui) academies. At Mount Heng (Southern Sacred Mountain), there was the Ziyun academy. Throughout his life, he took promoting education and nurturing worthy talents as his responsibility. Wherever he went, he established study halls (Jingshe) equipped with supporting fields (Shantian) to facilitate those who came to learn. Therefore, the scholars he cultivated all benefited from his teachings, using them to cultivate their own character and subsequently benefit others. Mencius considered obtaining the talented individuals of the world and educating them as a great joy in life; someone like Master Ganquan can be said to have truly attained that joy. We, as followers of Confucius and Mencius, if we become prominent and hold high positions, should take Master Ganquan as our model.
