Dǒng Zhòngshū 董仲舒 (c. 179–104 BCE), the leading early-Hàn New-Text classicist, native of Guǎngchuān 廣川 (modern Jǐng County 景縣, Héběi 河北). The principal architect of the early-Hàn synthesis between Chūnqiū Gōngyáng exegesis and the cosmological-correlative yīnyáng wǔxíng doctrines that became state Confucianism under Hàn Wǔdì 漢武帝 (r. 141–87 BCE). His memorial of 134 BCE recommended that the Five Classics be made the basis of the imperial curriculum and that masters of “the hundred schools” be banned (罷黜百家，表章六經). His best-known surviving work is the Chūnqiū fánlù 春秋繁露 (KR1e0122) — though most modern scholarship (Loewe 2011; Queen 1996) treats much of the present recension as later compilation around a Dǒng core. He served as administrator of Jiāngdū and Jiāoxī. His grave is near the tomb of Hàn Wǔdì at Màolíng 茂陵. CBDB c_personid 21906 confirms birth/death years 179–104 BCE; some sources give 179?–104?, retained as standard.
