Zhāng Yuè 張岳 (1492–1552), zì Wéiqiáo 惟喬, hào Xiǎoshān 小山, posthumous shì Xiānghuì 襄惠, of Huìān 惠安 (Fújiàn). Took the jìnshì in Zhèngdé 12 (1517) and was appointed Xíngrén (court-messenger). He at once memorialized against the Zhèngdé emperor’s southern progress and was tíngzhàng and demoted to Nánjīng Guózǐjiàn xuézhèng. Under Jiājìng he rose through provincial postings — Liánzhōu, Yuèfān, Dūfǔ Yúnyáng, Xúnfǔ Jiāngxī, Dūfǔ LiǎngGuǎng — and reached Xíngbù shìláng zhǎng Dūcháyuàn shì. He was finally sent out as Zǒngdū HúGuǎng SìChuān Guìzhōu, leading the Jiājìng-era Yáo / Zhuàng frontier campaigns; he died on campaign in 1552. He successively offended Zhāng Cōng 張璁, Xià Yán 夏言, and Yán Sōng 嚴嵩 — yet finished in honour. He was an articulate fǎn–Wáng Yángmíng writer from the jīngshù (classical-learning) camp; his Cǎotáng xuézé (in Xiǎoshān lèigǎo KR4e0177) is one of the more substantial Jiājìng-period anti-xīnxué statements. CBDB 34663. Míngshǐ j. 213. CBDB gives 1492–1553 as life-dates but Míngshǐ and the catalog meta both give 1552 as the death year (the date of his death on the southwestern campaign), followed here.
