Zhāng Shǒuyuē 張守約
Late-Míng lay Buddhist and poet. Hào Méicūn 梅村 (“Plum-Village”); also called Méicūn jūshì 梅村居士. Lifedates and full biographical details unrecorded.
Characterised by his contemporary Táng Shǒulǐ (preface to KR6q0217) as bó xué lì xíng, jiū xīn Fó chéng 博學力行，究心佛乘 (“widely learned, vigorously practising, investigating the mind of the Buddha-vehicle”). Known for charitable practice: shàn pín ér hào shī, yǔ shì chū shì jiān zuò zhū lì yì shì 善貧而好施，予世出世間作諸利益事 (“generous in poverty and fond of giving, performing countless benefit-deeds for both this world and the transcendent world”). Late in life turned entirely to Pure-Land practice alongside Chán investigation.
Surviving literary output: the Nǐ Hánshān shī 擬寒山詩 KR6q0217 — his imitation-poems in the Hánshān tradition, preserved as a one-juan collection in the Jiāxīng Canon. Cài Shànjì’s second preface to the text notes that Zhāng’s fuller literary corpus (several thousand poems imitating a wide range of classical poets including Lǐ Bái, Dù Fǔ, Wáng Wéi, Mèng Hàorán, Táo Yuānmíng, Xiè Língyùn) was substantial but remains unprinted.
