Zhū Míngháo 朱明鎬 (1607–1652), zì Fēngqí 豐芑. Native of Tàicāng 太倉 (modern Jiāngsū). Jǔrén of Chóngzhēn 4 (1631) but never jìnshì, with no significant office. A member of the Tàicāng Fùshè 復社 (Restoration Society) circle alongside Zhāng Pǔ 張溥, Zhāng Cǎi 張采, and the WúMén scholars. He died at age 46 in Yǒnglì 6 (1652), under early Southern-Míng resistance government but with the Qing already established in the north.
His one significant work is the KR2o0019 Shǐjiū 史糾 in 6 juàn (composed c. 1635–1652, posthumously assembled and circulated) — a methodologically sober late-Míng evidential critique of the standard histories from the Sānguó zhì through the Yuánshǐ, anticipating Qing evidential historiography by a century. The Sìkù tiyao explicitly distinguishes Zhū’s patient cross-collation from the disputatious fān àn (overturning-the-record) style of late-Míng historical-criticism. CBDB id 74191.
