Lù Róng 陸容 (1436–1494), zì Wénliàng 文量, hào Shìzhāi 式齋, was a mid-Míng official-literatus from Tàicāng 太倉 prefecture (modern Jiāngsū). He passed the jìnshì examination in the bǐngxū year of Chénghuà (1466), entered the Hànlín (briefly) and subsequently served in the Bīngbù (Ministry of War) Secretariat (zhǔshì, then lángzhōng). His final and highest provincial appointment was Zhèjiāng yòu cānzhèng (Right Administration Commissioner of Zhèjiāng), giving him direct experience of the southern-coastal administration he would later mine in his bǐjì.
Together with his contemporaries Zhāng Tài 張泰 and Lù Yì 陸釴 he was styled one of the Lóudōng sānfèng 婁東三鳳 (“Three Phoenixes of Lóudōng”), the dominant SūSōng literary circle of the Chénghuà reign. Míng shǐ Wényuàn zhuàn records that in poetic talent he did not match the other two but surpassed them in bóxué (broad learning) — a judgment borne out by his principal extant work, KR3l0086 Shūyuán zájì 菽園雜記 (15 juàn, c. 1480–1494), one of the most-cited bǐjì of the mid-Míng. He also left a poetry collection Shìzhāi jí 式齋集 (variously transmitted in Sìkù cúnmù form).
CBDB record id 33714 confirms the standard 1436–1494 dates. (A second CBDB row, 698482, gives the same Hànzì name without dates; this is a separate homonym, not the Shūyuán zájì author.)
