国家举行褒典，凡廷臣皆給以诰敕，且得推恩于其亲，生有封而殁有赠。恩德至厚也。乃宣 德庚戌(1430 年)之夏，刑部主事甄完既受勅命，且得追赠其父母皆如其秩，于是奉北京國子 助教、天台朱望所述其先公行狀，偕刑部员外郎王暹谒予，泣且拜曰：先考妣遗德善，行葬 時未有刻文以藏诸墓，恒懼泯於无闻，今不肖忝官于朝，蒙追赠先考为刑部主事，階承德郎； 先妣王氏为安人。宠命焕颁，永贲幽壤，兹將刻石墓上，以昭不朽，愿先生一言以永终有赖。 予往年典文衡于礼部时，完简在帘外之列，观其谦谨和厚而志尚儒雅，俦辈鲜俪，予甚爱重 之，遂不辞。按狀：公讳朝询，字得理，姓甄氏，其先青州人，九世祖十十四府君始自青州 徙越之新昌，世为望族，曾祖荣一府君、祖仁十一府君、父景芳，三世皆隐弗耀。公生元至 正丙戌(1346 年)五月之二十四日，自幼端重，知读书強记，皆通大义，年甫十七，父为仇家 诬构谪徙汴梁以殁，公愤不能平，语及辄哽咽，竟复其仇而后已。平居严毅，家庭之间內外 肃然，其处宗族姻戚、乡党贵贱，皆有品节。性方直善断，官府有急务卒难应办者，必委公 任之，则其事立办。尤笃于教子，延名师于家塾，而又躬训饬之，谆谆然弗少置。季子完游 学县庠，尝诲之曰：“吾遭乱废学，今悔无及，汝曹幸际圣明之世，其可不务学以自立乎？” 吾家门户待汝而光显，吾老虽弗及见，然汝其可以自怠而不勉乎？完由是益自奋发厉志于学， 卒能以明经登永乐辛丑(1421 年)进士第、拜今官，皆公之教也。晚岁家道虽弗甚裕，而处之 恬然，未尝有戚戚之色。人以是益贤之。以永乐丁酉(1417 年)六月十七日终，享年七十有二， 配王氏，有淑德，先公十年卒，葬居北龟山之原，而以是岁之九月二十一日，奉公之柩合葬 焉。子男三人，长隆，次杰，季即完，居官有政绩，克世其家；女一，适同乡杨宗明。
铭曰：龟山之原，郁其盘盘，宠穷在兹，既固且安，遗德孔昭，妥于冥漠，伟哉嗣人，膺此 宠擢，天章龙文，下贲玄堂，匪荣一时，千载之光，福泽之流，弥远愈盛，子孙绳绳，式鸿 厥庆。

Tomb Stele of Zhen Chaoqun, Posthumously Honored as Gentleman for Virtuous Service (1346–1417)
Composed by Zeng Jing (Grand Master for Governance, Left Supervisor of the Heir Apparent's Household)
Calligraphy by Chai Lan (Gentleman for Summoning Service, Secretariat Drafter)
Seal Script by Cheng Nanyun (Grand Master for Governance, Vice Minister of Personnel)
When imperial honors granted Zhen Wan, Director of the Ministry of Justice, the posthumous rank of his parents in 1430, he begged me to record their virtues. Years prior, as an examiner, I had admired his scholarly humility – thus I consent.
Zhen Chaoqun, courtesy name Deli, traced ancestry to Qingzhou. His ninth-generation ancestor settled in Xinchang, establishing an eminent lineage. At seventeen, he avenged his father who died in exile after false accusations. Stern yet just, he resolved community disputes where officials failed. His greatest legacy was education: hiring tutors while personally drilling his sons. "War stole my studies," he admonished youngest son Wan. "You thrive in peace – seize this chance! Our house awaits your glory." Wan heeded this, earning the jinshi degree in 1421.
Family:
Sons: Long, Jie, Wan (Director of Justice)
Daughter: Married Yang Zongming
Burial:
Originally interred separately, Zhen and his wife Lady Wang were reburied together at Turtle Mountain's plain on the 21st day of the 9th month, 1417.
Epitaph Verse
Turtle Mountain's plain, solemn and deep,
Holds virtue shining through death's sleep.
Imperial script like coiling dragons,
Confers glory for endless aeons.
Descendants thrive in blessings' stream,
Fulfilling this eternal dream.
(Erected by son Wan and grandson Mengxuan on the 8th day of the 12th month, 1430. Engraved by Yang Chun, Assistant of the Ministry of Works.)
Stele: 144.5×70 cm, bluish sandstone with arched top and seal script title. Quarried at Shidangang. Now in Zhen Wan Memorial Hall, Jingling Town. Note: Text aligns with Zhen clan genealogy where stele is eroded.
