Wáng Zǐjùn 王子俊 (Sòng, fl. 1180–1200)
Zì Cáichén 才臣. Hào Gézhāi 格齋 — bestowed in two large characters by Zhū Xī 朱熹. Native of Jíshuǐ 吉水 (modern Jiāngxī).
Career: held office at the Chéngdū shuàimù 成都帥幕 (the Chéngdū military-commander’s headquarters in Sìchuān). Once accompanied Yáng Wànlǐ 楊萬里 and Zhōu Bìdà 周必大 in their travels, drafting jiānzòu shūjì (offering-and-letter documents) on their behalf — a senior literary-draftsman role. Both senior figures commended him to Zhū Xī, who responded with the gift of the Gézhāi studio-name.
Yáng Wànlǐ’s evaluation of Wáng’s prose: Shǐlùn with QiānGù (Sīmǎ Qiān + Bān Gù) wind; gǔwén with Hán-and-Liǔ pattern; poetry with Sū-and-Huáng flavor; sìliù (parallel prose) above Wāng Zǎo and Sūn Dí. Of his works only the parallel-prose section KR4d0234 survives.
Surviving in Kanripo:
- KR4d0234 Gézhāi sìliù (1 juǎn, 102 pieces, WYG; the surviving fragment of his original Gézhāi Sānsōng lèigǎo).
