Zhū Sōng 朱松 (1097–1143), zì Qiáonián 喬年, biézì Wéizhāi 韋齋, native of Wùyuán 婺源 (modern Jiāngxī, Huīzhōu). Father of Zhū Xī 朱熹. Tóng shàngshè chūshēn of Zhènghé 8 (1118); reached Lìbù yuánwàiláng 吏部員外郎. For yánshì (speaking-on-affairs) opposed Qín Guì 秦檜 — sent out as Prefect of Ráozhōu; before taking the post requested release; obtained Zhǔguǎn Tāizhōu Chóngdàoguān (temple-supervisor honour). At expiry, again petitioned; before the order arrived, died.
Intellectually, Zhū Sōng was an early disciple of Lǐ Tóng 李侗 (the Yánpíng master, who later transmitted the Dàoxué lineage to Zhū Xī); his association with Dèng Sù 鄧肅 鄧肅 (the zuìliú guāndài anecdote) and his Yáng Xióng historiographic position likely contributed to the famous Tōngjiàn gāngmù treatment by his son. Late friendship with Lǐ Tóng → through Lǐ → through Zhū Xī = the central transmission line of Dàoxué. The Sìkù editors emphasise that the Wéizhāi jí’s aesthetic merit fā wéi wénzhāng, qìgé gāoyì (in its expression as composition, the qìgé is high-and-easy) is independent of his fame as Zhū Xī’s father — i.e. the collection survives on its own merits.
CBDB id 11904 confirms 1097–1143.
His collection is Wéizhāi jí 韋齋集 KR4d0171 in 12 juǎn (Zhū Xī’s xíngzhuàng figure, matched by the present recension). A 10-juǎn wàijí recorded by Zhū Xī is no longer extant. The collection has a complex print history: first cut at Chúnxī (1174–89); recut at Zhìyuán (Yuán dynasty); recut at Hóngzhì (1488–1505); and finally re-collated and recut by Zhū Sōng’s descendant Zhū Chāngchén 朱昌辰 in Kāngxī gēngyín (1710), which is the standard recension. The SBCK reproduces this 1710 recension.
Zhū Sōng’s younger brother 朱橰 (Zhū Gāo, zì Féngnián 逢年) had a 1-juǎn collection Yùlán jí 玉瀾集; this was bibliographically separate (recorded in Zhízhāi shūlù jiětí 直齋書錄解題 as a distinct work) but was appended to the Wéizhāi jí in the Hóngzhì bǐngchén (1496) edition by Kuàng Fán 鄺璠, an arrangement preserved in all later prints.
