mistakes
说 is read yuè in his name, an old use of the character for 悦 "pleased". Never say Zhāng Shuō.

A Tang story ties him to 泰山 as a word for a wife's father. Put in charge of the emperor's ceremony on Mount Tai in 725, he had his son-in-law raised several ranks, and a court jester quipped that it was all "the power of Mount Tai".
