Lín Jié 林岊
Zì Zhòngshān 仲山. Native of Gǔtián 古田 (modern Fújiàn). Tèzòu míng 特奏名 (“special-examination presented name”) of Shàoxī 1 (1190); during the Jiādìng era (1208–24) served as prefect of Quánzhōu 全州. Lifedates not recoverable; CBDB fl. 1187–1229.
The Sòngshǐ gives him no biography. The Fújiàn tōngzhì records that he served Quánzhōu nine years with notably benevolent administration, rebuilt the QīngXiāng shūyuàn 清湘書院, taught the local students there, and was enshrined by the local community in the temple of Liǔ Zōngyuán 柳宗元 (the great Táng exile-prefect of Liǔzhōu, whose cult was strong in the southern frontier). The Yígǔtáng tíbá preserves a competing identification (also given in the late-imperial Zhōngxīng guǎngé xùlù) that Lín Jié zì Zhòngshān was a Chánglè 長樂 man who passed the regular jìnshì in Chúnxī 15 (1188); the late-Qīng commentator Yú Jiāxī 余嘉錫 sets out the contradiction without resolving it.
Author of Máoshī jiǎngyì 毛詩講義 (KR1c0020) — lecture-notes from his time as Quánzhōu prefect, recorded by his pupils. Originally 5 juǎn; reorganized by the Sìkù editors into 12 juǎn on recovery from the Yǒnglè dàdiǎn.
