Sūn Mào 孫懋 (d. 1551), zì Défū 德夫, hào Yìān 毅菴, was a Míng remonstrance official from Cíxī 慈谿 (modern Níngbō, Zhèjiāng). He passed the jìnshì in Zhèngdé xīnwèi 正德辛未 (1511) and rose through gěishìzhōng posts to Yìngtiānfǔ yǐn 應天府尹 (Mayor of the Southern Capital, Nanjing). His career was largely defined by direct opposition to Wǔzōng’s court eunuchs and military favourites — he is one of the few Zhèngdé-period yánguān (remonstrance officials) whose career bridged into the early Jiājìng.
His most famous memorials were the impeachments of the eunuchs Yú Xǐ 于喜, Shǐ Xuān 史宣, and Zhāng Zé 張澤; his Húguǎng memorial on the guǎnjiě miǎnhuā róng 管解綿花絨 (cotton-thread administration) corvée tax — supplementing the Míng shǐ Shíhuò zhì; his memorial on tightened kǎochá (official-evaluation) procedures supplementing the Xuǎnjǔ zhì. He attended Wǔzōng on the xíngzài (imperial progress) and submitted a qiānyú yán memorial on the omen of tiānbiàn (heavenly anomalies). His most celebrated act was the impeachment of Jiāng Bīn 江彬 — for which his contemporaries thought him in mortal danger; the Sìkù tíyào records that “Jiāng Bīn was at that time daily attending the emperor in pleasure, and so did not see him; Sūn was thereby fortunate to escape.”
His memorials are preserved in the KR2f0025 Sūn Yìān zòuyì 孫毅菴奏議 in 2 juàn. Míng shǐ j. 188 has his biography. CBDB id 68340; lifedates from CBDB give d. 1551 only — birth year unknown. The Sìkù tíyào notes that the printed editions of his memorials had the impeached officials’ names blanked out (劖除其姓名) — apparently by his descendants to avoid retaliation — making one-by-one cross-checking against the Míng shǐ impossible.
