 | | Zhang Binglin (章炳麟 Pinyin: Zhāng Bǐnglín) (December 25, 1868 - June 14, 1936) was a Chinese linguist, specializing in phonology and classics, who laid out the basis for Zhuyin. |
| | Based on his study of the classics, Zhang developed a system of fragments and shorthands based on Zhuanshu calligraphy, called the Jiyin Zimu (記音字母), or "Sound-mnemonic Marks", that was later adopted as the basis of Zhuyin established in 1913. |
| | In 1924, Zhang left Kuomintang, entitled himself "The Lost Citizen of the Republic of China" (中華民國遺民) and became critical of Chiang Kai-shek. |
