Liào Yíngzhōng 廖瑩中 (d. 1275)
Late-Sòng scholar, editor, and printer; native of Shàowǔ jūn 邵武軍 Shùnchāng 順昌 (modern Shùnchāng xiàn in northwestern Fújiàn). Jìnshì of Chúnyòu 7 (1247). His career was bound up with that of the late-Sòng zǎixiàng Jiǎ Sìdào 賈似道 (1213–1275): Liào served as Jiǎ’s literary retainer (guǎnkè 館客) for many years and as the editorial head of his Shìcǎitáng 世綵堂 (“Hall of the World’s Brocade”) private printing operation — one of the finest Sòng jiākè establishments, producing high-quality reprints of Tang biéjí.
Liào’s principal scholarly contribution is the 40-juǎn annotated Hán Yù 韓愈 edition (the Shìcǎitáng original of KR4c0046), in which Liào dispersed Zhū Xī 朱熹’s separately-printed Yuánběn Hán jí kǎoyì (= KR4c0043) into the body of the HánYù collection — a parallel editorial move to Wáng Bódà’s 王伯大 earlier dispersal in KR4c0044. The Liào edition was reprinted in the Míng Wànlì by Xú Shítài 徐時泰 of Wúzhōu at the Dōngyǎtáng 東雅堂, with Liào’s name systematically omitted on moral grounds (Xú regarded Liào’s association with Jiǎ Sìdào as compromising) — see the Sìkù tíyào of KR4c0046.
Liào died in 1275 with Jiǎ Sìdào, who was assassinated en route to exile at Wúzhōu 婺州 after his disastrous defeat at Dīngjiāzhōu 丁家洲; reports of Liào’s death range from his having been killed in the same incident to his having committed suicide afterward. CBDB cbdbId 49995 has no fixed dates.
