Early-Qīng 清 classical compiler and editor, native of Rénhé 仁和 (modern Hangzhou region, Zhèjiāng). Hào Qíngchuān 晴川 (often signed Sūn Qíngchuān 孫晴川). Lifedates not securely recorded; floruit Yōngzhèng 雍正 era (1723–1735). During the Yōngzhèng era he held the office of jiàoyù 教諭 (Education Officer) at Qìngyuán 慶元 county.
His principal scholarly contribution is the textual reconstitution and editing of the Shàngshū dàzhuàn 尚書大傳 (KR1b0059), the Hàn-period jīnwén Shàngshū exegetical compendium attributed to 伏勝 with Zhèng Xuán’s commentary. The work had not been printed for centuries and was extant in society only in fragmentary, transposed, and corrupted manuscript copies. Sūn Zhīlù collected the surviving fragments and the indirect citations in other works, compiling them into a 3-juǎn recension that was preserved by the Sìkù compilers as a cún mù 存目 (“preserved title only”) entry — i.e., the title was registered but the work itself was not copied into the Sìkù quánshū main canon. The Sìkù tíyào on the cún mù version notes that, although Hú Wèi’s contemporary Huì Dòng 惠棟 (1697–1758) — composing his Míngtáng dà dào lù 明堂大道錄 — had likewise been unable to access an original Dàzhuàn recension and had to draw on indirect citations, Sūn Zhīlù’s gathering-and-compilation gives access to the surviving textual fragments and is therefore “not to be erased, despite the recent reappearance of a Sòng recension that supersedes it.”
Sūn Zhīlù also edited or compiled several other Hàn-period texts and collections, but his Shàngshū dàzhuàn recension is his principal legacy.
