Introduction

Consort Zhang Jing, originally named Bu Xiang, was born on April 22, 1448, and died on January 9, 1495. She was from Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture. Her father was Wang Xin, an officer of the Shaoqi Banner stationed as a former guard in Nanjing, and her mother was from the Guan family. Her sister was Wang Min, who served as a Baihu of the Jinyiwei (Embroidered Uniform Guard). Consort Zhang Jing was a concubine of Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianzhen of the Ming Dynasty and was the mother of the crown princess, Renhe Princess.

Her life events are primarily recorded in the "Stele Inscription of Consort Zhang Jing of the Xian Temple" and the "Ming Shilu" (Veritable Records of Ming). From a young age, she was taught by her mother, and later she entered the imperial palace to become a favored consort of the emperor. In the 10th year of the Chenghua reign (1474), she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Renhe Princess. In the 12th year of Chenghua (1476), she was granted the title of Consort Shun. The Minister of Rites and Grand Secretary of Wen Yuan Pavilion, Wan An, was appointed as deputy envoy to confer titles: he carried the command to bestow the title of Grand Concubine upon Lady Wan, recognized as Imperial Concubine; Lady Shao as Shin Concubine; Lady Wang as Shun Concubine; and Lady Liang as He Concubine. Her brother Wang Min was promoted to the senior officer of the Jinyiwei but was demoted to Baihu (a lower rank of officer) in the 23rd year of Chenghua (1487).

Consort Wang Shunfei died in the 7th year of the Hongzhi reign (1495) at the age of 47. Emperor Xiaozong ordered a three-day suspension of court sessions and granted her the posthumous title "Zhuangjing," honoring her as Consort Zhuangjing. She was buried on March 14, 1495, in Jinshan. Archaeological excavations have uncovered her tomb, located within the banner camp of the Red-Mounted Banner, and the existing tombstone bearing her epitaph remains.
