Biography and legends:
張遂辰 (Zhāng Suìchén), his alias is 卿子 (Qīng Zǐ), native to Jiangxi. He was born in the Wanli 17th year of the Ming dynasty (1589 AD) and died in the Kangxi 7th year of the Qing dynasty (1668 AD). Zhang Suichen's ancestors moved from Jiangxi to Hangzhou. He was wise in childhood, study poems, and literature, his health was poor in childhood, thin and emaciated, herbalists could not treat him, so later he started to learn ancient medical books by himself.

Main books and academic thoughts:
The book Zhang Qing Zi Shang Han Lun (the Shang Han Lun by Zhang Qing Zi) is a book on the study of Shang Han Lun (the Treatise on Cold-induced Diseases), seven volumes, it was compiled by Zhang Qingzi at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Qingzi praised Cheng Wuji, and commented that Cheng's Zhu Jie Shang Han Lun (the Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases with Notes) "quoted the classics and analyzed the meaning, especially in details, and is harmonious. Although the confession is attached, it occasionally occurs, but other schools cannot win it". So based on this book, he collected essential discussions from ancient herbalists including 朱肱 (Zhū Gōng)、許叔微 (Xǔ Shūwēi)、龐安時 (Páng ānshí)、王履 (Wáng Lǚ)、王肯堂 (Wáng Kěntáng) and other theories, to supplement it, so his book is actually a supplemented edition of Cheng Wuji's book Zhu Jie Shang Han Lun (the Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases with Notes). The book was first published in the Ming dynasty, and block editions of the Qing dynasty survive till this day.
Zhang Suichen is also good at writing ancient poems, his poem work is known as Hu Shang Bai Xia Ji, he was praised by scholars, especially for his poems.
