Jì Yǒugōng 計有功 (fl. 1121–1161)
Zì Mǐnfū 敏夫; self-styled Guànyuán jūshì 灌園居士 (“Layman of the Watered Garden”). Native of Ānrén 安仁 in Línqióng 臨邛 (modern Sìchuān). Jìnshì of Xuānhé 3 (1121); his classmate Zhāng Jùn 張浚 (1097–1164) was his cousin (Jì was Zhāng’s maternal uncle 從舅 according to Wilkinson and to Lǐ Xīnchuán’s Yàolù). In Shàoxīng 5 (wùzǐ, 7th month, 1135) the Yàolù records Jì being appointed Yòu chéngyì láng xīnzhī Jiǎnzhōu 右承議郎新知簡州 and concurrently Tíjǔ LiǎngZhè xīlù chángpíng cháyán gōngshì 提擧兩浙西路常平茶鹽公事 — i.e., he had just been appointed prefect of Jiǎnzhōu 簡州 (in Sìchuān) and was being seconded as commissioner for the regular-grain, tea, and salt monopolies of the LiǎngZhè western circuit. He retired late in the Shàoxīng era — Guō Yìn’s 郭印 Yúnxī jí 雲溪集 has a “Reply to Jì Mǐnfū’s ‘Note on Yúnxī’” poem placing him in semi-retirement among the Sìchuān Chan circles of the 1140s–1150s. CBDB c_fl_latest_year of 1161 reflects the latest dateable activity. He is a “lover of Chan flavor” (耽味禪悅之士) according to the Sìkù tíyào, drawn from the religious tone of Guō Yìn’s reply.
He is principally remembered as the compiler of the Táng shī jì shì 唐詩紀事 (KR4i0025), an 81-juǎn anthology with biographical and anecdotal apparatus on 1,150 Táng poets — one of the foundational source-books for the study of Táng poetry, surviving Yuán and Míng impressions, and the indispensable predecessor of the imperial Quán Táng shī 全唐詩 (1707).
