Shěn Qǐyuán 沈起元 (1685–1763), zì Zǐdà 子大, hào Jìngtíng 敬亭, was a Yōngzhèng-Qiánlóng-period official and Yìjīng scholar from Tàicāng 太倉 (Sūzhōu 蘇州 prefecture, modern Jiāngsū 江蘇). He passed the jìnshì in Kāngxī xīnchǒu 康熙辛丑 = 1721 and held office through Vice-Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices (Guānglù sì qīng 光祿寺卿).
His main Yì work is the Zhōuyì kǒng yì jí shuō 周易孔義集說 (KR1a0150) in twenty juàn. Methodologically the work takes the Ten Wings (the Confucian commentaries) as the principal interpretive authority for the Yì; whatever other readings agree with the Wings is gathered, without commitment to any single exegetical school. The work follows the jīn Yì arrangement (Tuàn and Xiàng attached under the canonical text); rejects the HétúLuòshū / prior-and-posterior-heaven / square-and-circle chart-tradition as Chén Tuán / Shào Yōng additions not in the canonical Yì; provides three foundational diagrams (eight-trigram positions, QiánKūn generating the six children, and the doubling-into-sixty-four diagram) drawn directly from the Xìcí and Shuōguà. The work is named after Gāo Pānlóng’s 高攀龍 (高攀龍) Míng-period Zhōuyì kǒng yì 周易孔義 — Shěn explicitly takes Gāo’s title as the methodological inspiration.
