Fāng Dàcóng 方大琮 (1183–1247), zì Dérùn 德潤, hào Húshān 壺山, zhāihào Tiěān 鐵菴 (“Iron Hermitage”), native of Pútián 莆田 in Xīnghuà 興化 (modern Fújiàn). Third in the Kāixǐ 1 (1205) provincial-examination cohort. Held the office of yòuzhèngyán 右正言 (right rectifier-of-words), in which he memorialised on the great matters of the empire, the principles of order and disorder, and on the wrongful death of the Jìwáng 濟王 (Zhào Hóng 趙竑) — for which Censor Jiǎng Xiàn 蔣峴 impeached him together with Wáng Yì 王逸 and Liú Kèzhuāng 劉克莊, all expelled from court the same day in Duānpíng 3 (1236). He later served as prefect of Guǎngzhōu 廣州 and Lóngxīng 隆興府, and as Fújiàn fiscal commissioner (Mǐncáo 閩漕). Posthumous title Zhōnghuì 忠惠. He has no biography in Sòng shǐ — his career is reconstructed from the Fújiàn tōngzhì, Zhōu Mì 周密’s Qídōng yěyǔ, and the prefatory matter of his collection. Major works: Tiěān jí 鐵菴集 KR4d0327 (35 juan, edited posthumously by his clansmen Fāng Liángyǒng 方良永 and Fāng Liángjié 方良節), and the parallel-prose collection Húshān sìliù 壺山四六 KR4d0328 (1 juan, anonymous in transmission but plausibly his — see the Sìkù tíyào).
