Mid- to late-Míng official, Chūnqiū scholar, and educator, native of Dānyáng 丹陽 (modern Jiāngsū). Zì Tíngshàn 廷善; hào Fèngā 鳳阿; styled Fèngā xiānshēng 鳳阿先生 in his lifetime. CBDB (id 128983) gives lifedates 1514–1593, which matches the Míngrén zhuànjì zīliào suǒyǐn. Jìnshì of Jiājìng 32 / guǐchǒu 癸丑 (1553). His career: prefect-level postings to Fújiàn and Sìchuān as schools-inspector (shì xué 視學), then Nánjīng guózǐ jìjiǔ 南京國子祭酒 (Libationer of the Nánjīng Imperial Academy), ultimately Nánjīng Lǐbù shàngshū 南京禮部尚書 (Minister of Rites at the Nánjīng court). In Chūnqiū studies he was a pupil of Táng Shùnzhī 唐順之 (1507–1560), the leading Jiājìng-era prose stylist and Chūnqiū scholar; the second preface to the Chūnqiū shì yì quán kǎo (by Lǐ Yīyáng 李一陽) makes the lineage explicit. He was a friend and intellectual associate of Wáng Qiáo 王樵 (the two are described in his own preface as “marriage-relatives, neighbours, and like-minded scholars”). His principal canonical work is the Chūnqiū shì yì quán kǎo 春秋事義全考 (KR1e0083); the Míng shǐ yì wén zhì and Zhū Yízūn’s Jīngyì kǎo also record a Chūnqiū dú zhuàn jiě lüè 春秋讀傳解略 in 12 juǎn, no longer extant by SKQS times. He rose to local-cultural prominence late in life: after his return to Dānyáng, that town — which had not produced a jǔrén for twenty years — produced a sustained run of examination-graduates from his pupils and clansmen, making the place “first in the prefecture for letters” (Lǐ Yīyáng’s preface).
