Fù Xián 傅咸 (239–294), zì Chángyú 長虞, was a Western-Jìn court official, moralist poet, and son of the prominent statesman-classicist Fù Xuán 傅玄 (217–278). Native of Běidì 北地 Níyáng 泥陽 (modern Yáochí 耀池 / Yáozhōu 耀州 in Shǎnxī). His standard biography is in Jìnshū 晉書 卷47, appended to that of his father.
After inheriting his father’s office of Cháoyáng zǐ 朝陽子 (Earl of Cháoyáng) in 278, Fù Xián rose under Jìn Wǔdì 武帝 and Huìdì 惠帝 through Lángzhōng, Shàngshū-lìbù láng, Cháng shǐ, Yùshǐ zhōngchéng 御史中丞 (Censor-in-Chief — hence his later sobriquet Fù Zhōngchéng 傅中丞), and finally Sīlì xiàowèi 司隸校尉. He was famous for the unflinching directness of his memorials, frequently impeaching senior officials including the emperor’s own kinsmen and the qīngtán 清談 set; the Jìnshū bio characterizes him as “xìng gāng jiǎn yǒu dà zhì” 性剛簡有大志.
His literary œuvre — collected by the Míng anthologist Zhāng Pǔ 張溥 as Fù Zhōngchéng jí 傅中丞集 in 《漢魏六朝百三家集》 — is dominated by fù, memorials, and short poems. The Qījīng shī 七經詩 (KR1g0036) is the most original: a cycle of six (originally seven) cento poems composed entirely of canonical lines, the earliest jíjù 集句 in Chinese literature. His prose is collected in 嚴可均《全晉文》卷51; his verse in 逯欽立《晉詩》卷3. CBDB id 11159 (the lifedate fields are not populated).
Together with his father he is canonical for the “Hàn-style moral seriousness” current within Western-Jìn court letters — set against the qīngtán / Zhúlín qī xián 竹林七賢 strand.
