Late-Yuán poet of Yúgān 餘干 (Jiāngxī). Style-name Kèjìng 克敬. He studied poetry under Zhāng Zhù 張翥 (the major Yuán northern-school shī master of the 1340s–60s). The Sìkù compilers note that although Gān lacked Zhāng’s full range and force across forms, his manner in the five-character old-style was so distilled and limpid that in those particular pieces he stood above his teacher — running closer to Wéi Yìngwù 韋應物 and Liǔ Zōngyuán 柳宗元’s manner than to Zhāng’s. After the fall of the Yuán he went into hiding and was never heard from again. His works were lost and only fragments survived in the holograph of his fellow-townsman Zhào Shípú 趙石蒲’s family; in the Chénghuà era of the Míng (1465–1487), Zhào Shípú’s grandson Zhào Hǔ 琥 had the surviving 49 prose pieces and 17 poems printed as Shānchuāng yúgǎo 山窻餘稿 (KR4d0563).
