Shěn Tóng 沈彤 (1688–1752). Zì Guānyún 冠雲, hào Guǒtáng 果堂. Native of Wújiāng 吳江 (modern Wújiāng, Sūzhōu prefecture, Jiāngsū). A Yōngzhèng-Qiánlóng-era classicist of the Sūzhōu region, an associate of Huì Shìqí 惠士奇 and the broader Wúpài 吳派 evidential circle.
Author of two Sìkù-admitted Sānlǐ works: KR1d0023 Zhōuguān lùtián kǎo 周官祿田考 in 3 juan, and KR1d0048 Yílǐ xiǎoshū 儀禮小疏 in 7 juan. The Zhōuguān lùtián kǎo tackles a famous interpretive problem first raised by Ōuyáng Xiū 歐陽修 (the Zhōuguān’s alleged “many officials, little land — stipends inadequate”), defending the Zhōuguān’s coherence against the standard Sòng-onward objection by detailed reconstruction of the office-count, public-field, and stipend-field figures. The Sìkù tíyào judges Shěn’s argument as “settling a millennium of doubt” on the substantive question, even while flagging several specific computational and interpretive errors.
