Shěn Zuòzhé 沈作喆 (fl. 1135–1174; CBDB id 10625), zì Míngyuǎn 明遠, hào Yùshān 寓山, was a Southern Sòng bǐjì writer and minor official of Húzhōu 湖州. Jìnshì of Shàoxīng 5 (1135). As Zuǒ fèngyì láng he served as Jiāngxī cáosī gànguān; was in Yuè Fēi’s 岳飛 staff at the time of the initial SòngJīn peace, composing on Yuè’s behalf the offering-thanks memorial for the imperial bestowal of land and houses on the generals — which offended Qín Guì 秦檜. Later served at Wéiyáng (Yángzhōu), then was impeached on Wèi Dàobì’s deep reading of his Āi shàn gōng shī 哀扇工詩 (Lament for the Fan-Workers, a sociopolitical protest poem) and lost three offices. Later went north with the embassy to Jīn; Hán Yuánjí 韓元吉 sent him a verse with the line “just like Wáng Càn’s “On the Campaign,” not the lament of Bān Jiéyú’s fan” — alluding to this affair. He was the nephew of Prime Minister Shěn Gāi 沈該 (author of the Yì xiǎo zhuàn in 6 juàn), and inherited the family’s interest in the Yì jīng. His main surviving work is the Yù jiǎn 寓簡 (KR3j0113) in 10 juàn, completed in Chúnxī jiǎwǔ (1174) at retirement; he also wrote a Yǐ yì 已意 (lost) and a Yùlín jí 寓林集 in 30 juàn (largely lost; the Āi shàn gōng gē survives in Zhōu Huī 周煇’s Qīngbō zá zhì). His scholarly affiliation is to Sū Shì 蘇軾 — both in literary style and in Yì-with-Chán syncretism, anti-Wáng-Ān-shí polemic, anti-Yī-chuān Chéng Yí stance, and yǎngshēng and chányuè interests.
