Jiē Xīsī 揭傒斯 (1274–1344), zì Mànshuò 曼碩, native of Fùzhōu 富州 in Lóngxīng 龍興 (modern Jiāngxī, near Nánchāng). The fourth of the Yuánshī sìdàjiā 元詩四大家, alongside Yú Jí 虞集, Yáng Zài 楊載, and Fàn Pèng 范梈. Entered office in Yányòu 1 (1314) by recommendation as Guóshǐyuàn biānxiūguān and Hànlín yìngfèng wénzì; promoted to Guózǐ zhùjiào. Returned home, was recalled, and at the opening of the Kuízhānggé in Tiānlì 1 (1328) was the first appointed shòujīng láng; participated in the compilation of the Jīngshì dàdiǎn. Ended his career as Hànlín shìjiǎng xuéshì and chief editor (zǒngxiū) of the three LiáoJīnSòng histories (KR2a0027 遼史, KR2a0028 金史, KR2a0026 宋史), dying in office. Posthumously enfeoffed Yùzhāngjùngōng 豫章郡公 with the posthumous name 文安 Wénān (whence the title of his collected works KR4d0497). Yú Jí famously characterized Jiē’s poetry as resembling “a new bride on her third day” (sānrì xīnfù 三日新婦) while characterizing his own as resembling “an old clerk in the Hàn court” (Hàntíng lǎolì 漢庭老吏); Jiē retorted with a poem capped by the line “Now today the new bride is old.” His prose, composing many of the major court tablets and stelae of the late Yuán, was regarded by contemporaries as a jùzhì “weighty composition”; his poetry, by contrast, was qīnglì wǎnzhuǎn — “limpid and lithe.”
