Sàdūlā 薩都拉 / Sàdūlá 薩都剌 (catalog meta gives both transliterations: 薩都拉 in WYG-derived KR4d0514, 薩都剌 in SBCK-derived KR4d0519; the Sìkù tíyào records “Sàdūlā yuánzuò Sàdūcì, jīn gǎizhèng”). Zì Tiānxī 天錫, hào Zhízhāi 直齋. CBDB gives lifedates 1272–1340; catalog meta and other modern sources give b. 1308 — the latter is now generally rejected; modern scholarship since Yáng Lián (1985) places him b. 1300 ± 5 with floruit in the 1320s–1340s. Sèmù (or possibly Hàn — see below) by ethnicity; family seat Yànmén 雁門 in YúnzhōngDài (Shǎnxī / Shānxī marches) by the merit of his grandfather Sàlábùhā 薩拉布哈 (Yuán Sīlán bùhuā 思闌不花) and his father Àolāqí 傲拉齊 (Yuán Ālǔchì 阿魯赤) — “Yànmén Sàdūlā.” Gàn Wénchuán 干文傳’s preface translates Sàdūlā as jìshàn “aid-goodness,” but the Sìkù tíyào notes the standard Mongolian gloss as “jiéqīn (in-laws)” and queries whether Gàn mis-translated. Kǒng Qí’s Zhìzhèng zhíjì further records “Sàdūlā originally Zhū-surname, not Ào-lā-qí-born,” casting doubt on the Sèmù attribution. The Sìkù tíyào takes a yíyǐ chuányí stance. Tàidìng dīngmǎo (1327) jìnshì. Career: Jīngkǒu lùshì zhǎng → Nán xíngtái yǎn → Yānnán jiàgéguān → Mǐnhǎi liánfǎng zhīshì → Héběi liánfǎng jīnglì. Best known for his frontier and palace-and-court poetic-genres (the Mǎjīngshī and the Yànmén themed lyric pieces). Yú Jí praised him in the preface to Fù Ruòjīn’s collection as “zuì cháng yú qíng, liúlì qīngwǎn.” His collection KR4d0514 Yànmén jí was originally 8 juǎn; Máo Jìn re-cut to 3 + 1 jíwài shī.
