Chén Dàzhāng 陳大章 (1659–1727), zì Zhòngkuí 仲夔, hào Yǔshān 雨山, was an early-Qīng Shī scholar and Hànlín official from Huánggāng 黃岡 (Húguǎng 湖廣 / modern Húběi). He passed the jìnshì in Kāngxī 27 wùchén (1688) and was appointed Hànlínyuàn shùjíshì 翰林院庶吉士 (Bachelor of the Hànlín Academy); he later requested leave to return home to care for his aged mother and did not return to office, spending the rest of his life as a private scholar.
His sole transmitted work is the Shī zhuàn míng wù jí lǎn 詩傳名物集覽 (KR1c0056) in 12 juǎn, on which the Sìkù tíyào records that he had originally drafted a 100-juǎn version, with three drafts before settling, and that the present 12-juǎn version represents a partial advance-publication. His work is typical of the Kāngxī-Yōngzhèng-period gentry-scholar’s life: substantial kǎozhèng attention to the Shī jīng outside the framework of imperial appointment.
