Shǐ Xūbái 史虛白 (fl. 936–960s), of Shāndōng. A scholar-poet who, in the chaos of the late HòuTáng / early HòuJìn transition (the Qīngtài 清泰 era, 934–937), travelled south together with 韓熙載 Hán Xīzǎi to take refuge in the rising Southern Táng 南唐. He is described in 馬令 Mǎ Lìng’s NánTáng shū KR2i0017 as a man of the Yǐnjūn 隱君 type, who refused official appointment despite the offer of a Jiàoshūláng 校書郎 position from the Southern Táng founder 李昪 Lǐ Biàn (Lièzǔ) and lived out his life “amusing himself with poetry and wine.” He is principally remembered as the addressee of various Southern-Táng poems, and as the father of the anonymous author of the Diàojī lìtán 釣磯立談 KR2i0008 — the latter book repeatedly references him as xiān jiàoshū 先校書 (“my late father the jiàoshūláng”). The misattribution of the Diàojī lìtán to Shǐ Xūbái himself originates in the Sòngshǐ Yìwénzhì and is repeated in 曹寅’s Qīng printing of the work, but is corrected in the Sìkù tíyào. CBDB has no entry. The exact lifedates are not known; he was a younger contemporary of Hán Xīzǎi (902–970), so a floruit of c. 935–965 is defensible.
