Zhāng Dàhēng 張大亨
Style name Jiāfù 嘉父. Native of Wúxīng 吳興 in Húzhōu 湖州 (modern Zhèjiāng). Northern-Sòng Chūnqiū and ritual-studies scholar; jìnshì of Yuánfēng 元豐 8 (1085, second-rank). Lifedates not preserved; active in the late Northern Sòng (Yuánfēng to Xuānhé era).
Held the central court post of Sīxūn yuánwàiláng 司勳員外郎 (Vice Director of the Bureau of Honours) and at retirement Zhí mìgé 直祕閣 (Imperial Library Junior Compiler). Hé Yuǎn’s Chūnzhǔ jì wén 春渚紀聞 and Wáng Míngqīng’s Yùzhào xīn zhì 玉照新志 both preserve an episode in which Zhāng memorialised the throne to correct the conflict between Wángguó shìdú shìjiǎng 王國侍讀侍講 official titles and standard court usage.
His two surviving Chūnqiū works — companion volumes — are:
- Chūnqiū wǔ lǐ lì zōng 春秋五禮例宗 in 7 juan (originally 10) (KR1e0030) — Chūnqiū events redistributed under the canonical five rites.
- Chūnqiū tōng xùn 春秋通訓 in 6 juan (KR1e0031) — running interpretive treatise.
Zhāng’s distinctive methodological move — taking the canonical Wǔ lǐ of the Zhōulǐ / Yílǐ / Lǐjì tradition as the organising principle of Chūnqiū exegesis — is one of the principal Northern-Sòng bridges between Chūnqiū studies and Sānlǐ studies. The Yuán scholar Wú Chéng 吳澄 (1249–1333) independently arrived at the same five-rite arrangement in his Chūnqiū zuǎn yán 春秋纂言, attesting the methodological substance of Zhāng’s framework.
