Táng Yuánhóng 唐元竑 (1590–1647)
Zì Yuǎnshēng 遠生. Native of Wūchéng 烏程 (modern Húzhōu 湖州, Zhèjiāng). Late-Míng jǔrén (passed Wànlì 16 = 1588 — though dating disagrees with his birth year if 1590 is correct; the catalog meta gives 1590–1647 and Wànlì wùzǐ 1588 jǔrén — the discrepancy is unresolved in the standard sources, but 1590 is conventional). Declined further examination service and lived as a private literatus in Húzhōu.
A committed Míng yímín 明遺民. On the fall of the Míng to the Qīng in 1644 he refused all collaboration; he is conventionally said to have refused food in protest and starved himself, dying in 1647 — a self-imposed echo of the Bóyí, Shūqí 伯夷叔齊 model on Mount Shǒuyáng 首陽. The catalog zì and dates follow this yímín tradition.
His one substantial scholarly work is the Dù shī jūn 杜詩攟 KR4c0019 in 4 juǎn — a critical commentary on Dù Fǔ 杜甫 arguing against the prevailing SòngYuán shīshǐ 詩史 (“poetry-as-history”) allegorical reading tradition and especially against Liú Chénwēng’s 劉辰翁 commentary. The Sìkù tíyào endorses the broad direction of Táng’s argument. CBDB has no entry for him.
