1525 - 1582
Zhang Juzheng (Chinese: 張居正; pinyin: Zhāng Jūzhèng; 26 May 1525 – 9 July 1582), courtesy name Shuda (Chinese: 叔大; pinyin: Shūdà), pseudonym Taiyue (Chinese: 太岳; pinyin: Tàiyuè), was a Chinese politician who served as Senior Grand Secretary (Chinese: 首輔; pinyin: Shǒufǔ) in the late Ming dynasty during the reigns of the Longqing and Wanli emperors. He represented what might be termed the "new Legalism". Aiming to ensure that the gentry worked for the state, one of his chief goals was to reform and rationalize the bureaucracy together with his political rival Gao Gong, who was concerned that offices were providing income with little responsibility.
