Wáng Zhìcháng 王志長 (1585–1663). Zì Píngzhòng 平仲. Native of Kūnshān 崑山 (modern Kūnshān, Jiāngsū). Younger brother of Wáng Zhìjiān 王志堅 (his biography in the Míngshǐ Wényuàn zhuàn is appended to that of Zhìjiān). Jǔrén of the Wànlì 萬曆 era — i.e., before 1620; the Míngshǐ notes him as “also deeply versed in classical learning.” His career belongs entirely to the late Míng; his death year of 1663 falls under the early Qīng. The catalog meta classifies him as Míng, which is the conventional dynastic attribution for late-Míng jǔrén. CBDB id 71654 lists him under Qīng (dynasty code 20), reflecting his death year — but his scholarly identity is unambiguously late-Míng.
Author of KR1d0017 Zhōulǐ zhùshū shānyì 周禮註疏刪翼 in 30 juan — a careful late-Míng condensation of the ZhèngJiǎ Zhōulǐ zhùshū (KR1d0003), with the HànTáng commentary trimmed for length (“removed,” shān 刪) and supplemented with selected SòngMíng material (“winged,” yì 翼). The Sìkù tíyào praises Wáng’s recoverance of the conservative zhùshū-rooted approach to the Zhōulǐ in an era when Míng scholarship had drifted into either the textually-aggressive Yú Tíngchūn–Wú Chéng tradition or into superficial line-glossing in the manner of Zhū Shēn (KR1d0012).
