Biography

张筹,无锡人。
明史卷一百三十六 列传第二十四:
  张筹,字惟中,无锡人。父翼,尝劝张士诚将莫天佑降,复请于平章胡美勿僇降人,城中人得完。以詹同荐,授翰林应奉,改礼部主事。奉诏与尚书陶凯编集汉、唐以来藩王事迹,为《归鉴录》。洪武九年,由员外郎进尚书,与学士宋濂定诸王妃丧服之制。筹记诵淹博,在礼曹久,谙于历代礼文沿革。然颇善附会。初,陶安等定圜丘、方泽、宗庙、社稷诸仪,行数年矣。洪武九年,筹为尚书,乃更议合社稷为一坛,罢勾龙、弃配位,奉仁祖配飨,以明祖社尊而亲之之道,遂以社稷与郊庙祀并列上祀。识者窃非之。已,出为湖广参政。十年坐事罚输作。十二年仍起礼部员外郎。后复官,以事免。
