Zhang Binglin (December 25, 1868—June 14, 1936), a Chinese philologist, textual critic and anti-Manchu revolutionary, was born with the given name Xuecheng in Yuhang, Zhejiang to a scholarly family. He was the third son in his intellectual family. Later in order to show his admiration for the early Qing scholar and activist Gu Yanwu, he himself changed his given name to Jiang with the sobriquet Taiyan. In his 23 age, he began to study under the great philologist Yu Yue (1821 - 1907), immersing himself in the Chinese classics for seven years. Both as an activist and scholar, he produced a great amount of political works. Because of his outspoken character, he was jailed not only for three years by the Qing Empire but also put under house arrest for another three by Yuan Shikai.
Two years later at 67 he died and was buried in a state funeral. In April 3, 1955, the People's Republic of China removed the coffin from Suzhou to Nanping Mountain, Hangzhou. The People's Republic established a museum devoted to him beside Xi Lake.
