Sun Yijang - Son Yijang

A Chinese scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. His courtesy name was Zhongrong and his pen name was Chukei. He was from Ruian County, Zhejiang Province. He was a Juren in 1867 (the 6th year of the Tongzhi era). His father, Yiyan (1814-1894), a high-ranking official and scholar, was friends with Yu Yue, and through his influence he read "Records of the Chinese Scholars of the State" and "Explanations of the Classic of the Emperor Qing" at an early stage and became familiar with classics. He devoted himself to reading and writing, even though he failed the examination. "Zhou Li Zhengy" is an extremely detailed commentary on the "Zhou Li" that was written on the accumulated knowledge of Qing dynasty classical studies, and "Mozi Jianxun" is the result of applying the methods of Qing dynasty classical studies to a book that was considered difficult to read even among the scholars of classical texts. His works include "Gushu Shiui," "Gushu Yulon," and "Meigen," which are studies of epigraphy, as well as "Keibun Jourei," which was the first academic study of the oracle bone inscriptions excavated from the Yin Ruins. "Zhaji" is a revision of ancient books covering the Jingshiziji. His collection of writings is called "Zhui Shulin." In his later years, he served as the head of the Wenzhou Normal College.

中国、清(しん)末の学者。字(あざな)は仲容、号は籀(ちゅうけい)。浙江(せっこう)省瑞安(ずいあん)県の人。1867年（同治6）の挙人。高官で学者でもあった父の衣言(いげん)（1814―1894）は愈樾(ゆえつ)と親交があり、その影響でつとに『国朝漢学師承記』『皇清経解(こうせいけいかい)』を読んで経学に親しみ、会試に及第せぬまま読書著述に専念した。『周礼(しゅらい)正義』は清朝経学の堆積(たいせき)のうえに成ったきわめて綿密な『周礼』の疏(そ)（注釈）であり、『墨子間詁(ぼくしかんこ)』は清朝経学の方法が諸子のなかでも難読とされる書に及ぼされての成果である。金石文研究『古籀(こちゅう)拾遺』『古籀餘論(よろん)』『名原(めいげん)』、また殷墟(いんきょ)出土甲骨文に初めて学術的な研究を加えた『契文(けいぶん)挙例』がある。『札迻(さつい)』は経史子集にわたって古書を校定する。文集は『籀(ちゅうけい)述林』という。晩年に温州師範学堂の長を務めた。
