1. Hang Xinzhai (1968-1924), styled Shenxiu, was a native of Haining County, Zhejiang Province, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, hence also known as the "Mr. Haining." During his youth, he ranked among the top candidates in the imperial examinations. Later, he studied under Chen Shuyu and Li Chenke in the capital, served as a proofreader at the Wenyuan Pavilion, gaining access to rare books, and attended Tongwen College, where he studied mathematics, physics, and other subjects, achieving a comprehensive understanding of both Eastern and Western knowledge.

Hang Xinzhai once organized the "Academic Research Society for the Zhouyi," known as Yanji Xueshe, where he served as the main lecturer on the Zhouyi and wrote the six-volume "Yi Xie" (Commentary on the Zhouyi) as his lecture notes. Additionally, he authored works such as "Initial Notes on Learning the Zhouyi," "Further Notes on Learning the Zhouyi," "Random Observations on Yi Numerology," "Miscellaneous Notes on Reading the Zhouyi," "Correction of Shen Shi's Annotations on the Zhouyi," and "Shen Shi's Revised Method of Divining with Yarrow Sticks." These works are collectively titled "Seven Works of Hang's Yi Studies," published by Yanji Xueshe in the eighth year of the Republic of China.
