Shěn Shū 沈樞, zì Chíyào 持要, posthumous title Xiànmǐn 憲敏, was a Southern Sòng official from Déqīng 德清 (Húzhōu 湖州, Liǎngzhè). He took the jìnshì during the Shàoxīng era (1131–1162) and rose to Tàizǐ zhānshì 太子詹事 and Guānglù qīng 光祿卿. According to Lóu Yuè’s 樓鑰 preface to Tōngjiàn zǒnglèi 通鑑總類 KR2h0002, dated 嘉定元年 (1208), Shěn Shū lived to over ninety, retired with his faculties intact, and compiled the Tōngjiàn zǒnglèi in retirement; Lóu Yuè had befriended him during a tour of duty at Yǒngjiā 永嘉 and was asked by Shěn’s youngest son (then prefect of Cháoyáng 潮陽) to write the preface to the printed edition. Index sources for his life include Sòng huìyào jíběn 宋會要輯本, Lóu Yuè wénjí 攻媿集 j.35, Xìngǎo Sānzhāo bēizhuàn 名臣碑傳, and the Wúxīng zhì 吳興志 j.17. CBDB index year 1115 places his floruit in the early Southern Sòng; he had certainly died by 1208 when Lóu Yuè wrote of him as the “late Lord Xiànmǐn” 故詹事光祿沈憲敏公.
