Xíng Bǐng 邢昺 (932–1010), zì 叔明 (Shūmíng), was a Sòng-period scholar-official from Cáozhōu Jìyīn 曹州濟陰 (modern Hézé 菏澤, Shāndōng). He passed the Jiǔjīng kē 九經科 in 967 (Kāibǎo 開寶 4) and entered the National University; under Tàizōng (r. 976–997) and Zhēnzōng (r. 997–1022) he served as Hànlín shìjiǎng xuéshì 翰林侍講學士, Jìjiǔ 祭酒 of the National University, and Lǐbù shìláng 禮部侍郎, ending his career as Lǐbù shàngshū 禮部尚書. He led the imperial editorial team that produced the Xiánpíng-era 咸平 (998–1003) sub-commentaries (zhèngyì 正義) on the Lúnyǔ 論語 (1000), the Xiàojīng (1001, see KR1f0004), and the Ěryǎ 爾雅 (1002), each of which became standard parts of the Shísān jīng zhùshū 十三經注疏. He is the most prolific and influential of the early-Sòng zhèngyì compilers, with three of the Thirteen Classics sub-commentaries to his name. His method, expressly stated in the prefaces, was to “trim” (jiǎnjié 剪截) the lost or surviving Táng-period zhèngyì — Yuán Xíngchōng 元行冲 in the case of the Xiàojīng — and supplement them with citations from “the various works.”
