Zhào Zhíxìn 趙執信 (1662–1744), zì Shēnfú 伸符, hào Yíshān 飴山 / Qiūgǔ 秋谷 — Kāngxī era jìnshì (1685, age 23), Hanlin-bachelor, dismissed from office at age 28 (1689) after the Chángshēng diàn incident — attended a play during the imperial mourning. Thereafter retired to private literary life, becoming a leading poetic theorist of the early Qīng (his Tán lóng lù 談龍錄 is one of the most-cited Qīng poetic treatises, polemically opposing Wáng Shìzhēn’s “spirit-resonance” school). Connected with the WǔLiǔ Daoist tradition through his role as bǐ shòu (brush-receiver) for Wǔ Shǒuyáng at a planchette session that produced the Jīn dān yào jué (KR5i0069). Zhào’s role as planchette amanuensis — under the disciple-name Dànxiū dìzǐ — gives the WǔLiǔ tradition a documented Hanlin connection. CBDB ID 35188.
