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 SòngYuánMíngQīng 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 YuánMíng” — making the surviving Sìkù WYG print of the Chúnxī original a significant late-imperial recovery.
