(“七里”之称，按温氏 [明朝温体仁宰相] 《七里村志》的记载，缘于至马腰、南浔各七里，“以其均道，故名。”  辑里之名，村老言之为明崇祯年间温体仁雅化“七里”而称。清雍正年初，南浔人范颖通在《研北居琐录》中已称辑里村。)

(ii) The co-author 張南琛 is said to be offspring of the above Zhang clan. Nelson Chang and R. (for Robert) Parker Crowell co-founded Chang-Crowell Mgmt. Corp. of Connecticut.
(iii) The section mentioned 蔣汝藻 傳書堂 and 劉承斡 嘉業堂.

* 劉鏞 (1826-1899): 財產到1890年代已經達到2000萬兩，位居南潯「四象」之首. Zh.wikipedia.org
