Fāng Sōngqīng 方崧卿 (1135–1194)
Zì Jìshēn 季申. Native of Xīnghuà jūn 興化軍 Pǔtián 莆田 (modern Pǔtián in Fújiàn). Sòng-period scholar-official; jìnshì of Lóngxìng 1 (1163). Successively Jìshǐlǐ and (in Xiàozōng’s reign) Tāizhōu jūnshì 台州軍事.
His one substantial scholarly contribution is the Hán jí jǔzhèng 韓集舉正 KR4c0042 in 10 juǎn (with appended Wàijí jǔzhèng in 1 juǎn) — the foundational Sòng jiàokān (collation) study of Hán Yù 韓愈’s collected works, completed in Chúnxī 16 (jǐyǒu = 1189). Fāng’s collation work compared forty-some pre-Sòng and Sòng witnesses for variant readings; it directly underpinned Zhū Xī’s 朱熹 subsequent Hán wén kǎoyì 韓文考異 (KR4c0043) and through Zhū became the foundation of the entire Sòng-Yuán-Míng-Qīng commentary tradition for Hán Yù. The Sìkù tíyào notes that Fāng’s original work was “shadowed by [Zhū’s] great fame” and “almost vanished by the Yuán-Míng” — making the surviving Sìkù WYG print of the Chúnxī original a significant late-imperial recovery.
