Lǐ Màoyīng, zì Jùnmíng 俊明, hào Wénxī 文溪, was a native of Pānyú 番禺 in Guǎngzhōu 廣州 (Guǎngdōng), and the most important Lingnan-born literatus of his generation in the Southern Sòng. Bǎoqìng 3 (1227) bǎngyǎn (third place at the diànshì), he served as Tīngzhōu tuīguān, Yùshǐ (Censor), Editor of the Hall of the Dragon Diagram (Lóngtúgé dàizhì), and Vice Director of the Ministry of Personnel under Lǐzōng (1224–1264). His early heroics in pacifying mutineer revolts at Tīngzhōu and at Guǎngzhōu — the latter by descending the city wall on a rope to negotiate with the rebels — were already legendary in his own day and are recorded in Zhāng Duānyì’s 張端義 Guìěr jí 貴耳集. As censor he impeached Shǐ Sōngzhī 史嵩之 (1189–1257) and Zhào Yǔzé 趙與澤; retired in the late 1240s to his estate Wénxī (“Literary Stream”) outside Guǎngzhōu and lived out his last decade there. Canonized Zhōngjiǎn 忠簡 posthumously. His sole surviving work is the twenty-juan Wénxī jí 文溪集 KR4d0345, compiled by his pupil Lǐ Chūnsǒu 李春叟 in 1294 from what could be salvaged after his manuscripts were destroyed in fire. Catalog and CBDB (id 17116) lifedates 1201–1257 agree.
