Features: Yu Chang, styled Lizun, styled Xiangcao, was a native of Nanhui, Jiangsu during the Qing Dynasty. He was born in the fourth year of the Xianfeng era (1854) and died in the second year of the Xuantong era (1910). He passed the Bacei examination in the Dingyou year of the Guangxu era (1897) but did not enter official service. He studied under Zhang Wenhu and Zhong Wenzeng. Wang Xianshan was his mentor when he was a candidate for the cimenshan examination. He had exchanges with Yu Yue and others. He wrote over twenty works, including Sixty Volumes of Xiangcao , Twenty-two Volumes of Continued Xiangcao , Thirty-three Volumes of Annotations to the Zhan Guo Ce, Three Volumes of Continued Anomalies to the Zhou Yi, Six Volumes of Anomalies to the Shang Shu, and Two Volumes of Anomalies to the Yi Li. Most of Yu Chang's works, including the major part of Xiangcao , were published. Zhang Yicheng, Yu Chang's daughter-in-law, preserved Yu Chang's manuscripts during the War of Resistance Against Japan and collated copies. In 1954, Zhang Yicheng and others donated all of Yu Chang's manuscripts and collated copies to the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. Xiangcao focuses on collating and correcting the classics, while Continued focuses on collating and correcting the works of the "Six Schools" and historical records, including the Laozi to the Shui Jing Zhu and the Huainanzi (fifteen schools). Among them, the section on Yangzi primarily collects remarks on Yang Zhu from the Liezi, with the last three remarks collected from the Zhuangzi, Shu Yuan, and Huainanzi. The entire section does not include authorial annotations, differing in format from other sections.
