Early-Qīng naval officer of Tóng’ān 同安, Fújiàn; father of Chén Lúnjiǒng 陳倫炯 (q.v.). According to the Sìkù tíyào of KR2k0152, in Kāngxī 21 (1682) he followed Jìnghǎihóu Shī Láng (施烺 — a Sìkù typographical slip for 施琅, see 施琅) in the pacification of Táiwān, and subsequently led several years of seaborne pursuit of the remnants of the Zhèng régime through the eastern and western oceans (Dōngyáng, Xīyáng); for this service he rose to the rank of Guǎngdōng fùdūtǒng 副都統 (deputy lieutenant-general). The Sìkù editors note that the office of fùdūtǒng was normally a Manchu-banner appointment, and that Chén Áng’s elevation to it was an unusual mark of imperial favour for a Hàn officer. CBDB (no. 333259) records him under the Qīng dynasty with no specific dates.
