Qiáo Lái 喬萊 (1642–1694), zì Zǐjìng 子靜, hào Shílín 石林, was an early-Kāngxī court official and Yìjīng scholar from Bǎoyìng 寳應 (Yángzhōu 揚州, Jiāngsū 江蘇). He passed the jìnshì examination in Kāngxī 6 (1667). In Kāngxī jǐwèi 康熙己未 = 1679 he was nominated for the special Bóxué hóngcí 博學鴻詞 examination and accepted, being appointed to the Hànlín Academy; he rose to Hànlín Reader-in-Waiting (Hànlín yuàn shìdú 翰林院侍讀).
His major work is the Yì sì 易俟 (KR1a0130) in eighteen juàn (the Sìkù notice records 18 juàn but the catalog meta records 12 juàn for the surviving recension, which covers only the upper-and-lower scriptures and not the Xìcí and other Wings — the work was deliberately limited to per-line exegesis). Methodologically the work draws on SòngYuánMíng yìli and xiàngshù sources without adhering to one school; on the chart-tradition Qiáo declines Shào Yōng’s 邵雍 Hé tú Luò shū doctrines but takes Lái Zhīdé’s 來知德 fǎn duì method (KR1a0100) for hexagram-variation. His exegetical method foregrounds historical exemplification (citing Wáng Mǎng 王莽, Dǒng Zhuó 董卓, Ān Lùshān 安祿山, Shǐ Sīmíng 史思明 as confirmations of the Lǚ 履 hexagram’s xián rén zhī xiōng 咥人之凶; Liú Dàn 燕王旦, Lǐ Jiànchéng 李建成, Yuán Jí 元吉, Lǐ Gāoxù 李高煦 for the unique extreme misfortune of Lí 9/4; Wēn Tǐrén 溫體仁, Wén Zhènmèng 文震孟 for the Xiǎo Chù 9/3 case of a small man entrapping the gentleman). The Sìkù editors note Qiáo’s familiarity with Gù Yánwǔ 顧炎武’s phonological writings (Yīn xué wǔ shū 音學五書) for Guān 6/4 — but his retention of Wú Yù 吳棫’s old phonology elsewhere is “incomprehensible.”
