Zhū Zhuō 朱倬
Zì Mèngzhāng 孟章. Native of Xīnchéngxiàn 新城縣 in Jiànchāng 建昌 (modern Jiāngxī). Jìnshì of Zhìzhèng 2 (1342); held office as xiànyǐn (district magistrate) of Suí’ān 遂安. In rénchén autumn (Zhìzhèng 12 = 1352) bandits arrived; the clerks and runners scattered; Zhū Zhuō remained at his post; when the bandits burned the xièshè (official residence), he threw himself into the river and drowned. A zhōngjié (loyal-and-resolute) figure who is missing from the Yuánshǐ.
(The catalog meta gives 1093–1163, which are the lifedates of an unrelated Sòng-dynasty Zhū Zhuō [CBDB 8037]. The Yuán-dynasty Zhū Zhuō meant here — jìnshì of 1342 — is CBDB 101924 [index_year 1312, dynasty 19]; only the death date 1352 is recoverable.)
Author of Shī yíwèn 詩疑問 in 7 juǎn (KR1c0031); the present recension was reorganized by Liú Jǐnwén 劉錦文. Nàlà Xìngdé 納喇性德 (Nara Singde / Nalan Xingde, 1655–85), the Manchu Bordered Yellow Bannerman and bibliophile, wrote a preface for the work using the Wāng Ruì 汪叡 āicí (lament-text) preserved in the Xīn’ān wénxiàn zhì to identify Zhū Zhuō and document his loyalist death. The Yuánshǐ nowhere mentions him, and the Sìkù editors note this āicí recovery as the principal source for biography.
