Late-Yuán / early-Míng poet and Yuán shǐ compilation participant of Yúyáo 餘姚 (Sōngjiāng region, Zhèjiāng). Originally named Yuánxǐ 元禧, later shortened to Xǐ 禧; style-name Yuányì 元逸; sobriquet Yōng’ān 庸菴. He passed the Zhìzhèng gēngyín (1350) Zhèjiāng qīngshì (provincial examination) and was assigned Fánchāng jiàoyù. He soon left office. In the early Hóngwǔ he was summoned to participate in the Yuán shǐ compilation; the Wàiguó zhuàn (Foreign Lands biographies) — from Korea onward — were all from his hand. After the compilation he refused permanent office and returned home. He was again summoned with Guì Yànliáng 桂彥良 as joint examiner of Fújiàn. Míng shǐ places him in the Wényuàn zhuàn at the end of Zhào Xūn 趙壎’s biography. Internal poem evidence — Tí Tóngjiāng diàoyǐn tú: “Huángguān leisurely think of Hè Zhīzhāng; in age and sickness, pitying myself for the jiǎnshū (court-summons) press” and Jì Sòng Jǐnglián: “At the time, the eighteen shì — coming and staying each had their reason”; and Dài Liáng’s presentation verse: “The Màixiù gē about-over, my hair already white; / Encountering people I still speak of the eastern Zhōu” — places him among the moderate refusers, alongside Shěn Mènglín (KR4d0582) and Zhào Fǎng (KR4d0584), not with the full-collaborators like Wēi Sù. His learning derives from Yáng Wéizhēn 楊維楨 (KR4d0585); but his own poetic register is closer to Bái Jūyì 白居易 (Xiāngshān) and Lù Yóu 陸游 (Jiànnán) than to the Tiěyá manner.
