About the author
Born in 1701 in Danleng, Sichuan, Peng Zunsi was a Qing-dynasty poet and scholar. He earned the jinshi degree in 1737, a major achievement in the imperial examination system, and later served in official posts after entering the Hanlin Academy as a shujishi.
He is most closely associated with Shu Bi (蜀碧), a four-volume historical work that gathers and compares many earlier sources about Zhang Xianzhong’s campaigns in Sichuan. Because of that book, he is remembered not only as a literary figure but also as someone who helped preserve important historical material about one of the region’s most traumatic eras.
Sources found during this search also describe him as the younger brother of Peng Duanshu and the twin brother of Peng Zhaosu; together they were known as the “Three Pengs.” No suitable confirmed portrait image was found on the pages retrieved, so no profile image is included here.
