Hǎo Jīng 郝經 (1223–1275), zì Bóchāng 伯常, posthumously canonised Wénzhōng 文忠 and enfeoffed as Duke of Jì 冀國公. Native of Língchuān 陵川 (modern Língchuānxiàn 陵川縣, Shānxī). Yuán-period statesman, diplomat, and substantial Confucian scholar; one of the principal Hàn 漢-ethnic advisors at the early Yuán court of Khubilai 忽必烈. Hànlín shìdú xuéshì 翰林侍讀學士 with posthumous promotion to Zhāowénguǎn dàxuéshì 昭文館大學士 and Rónglù dàfū 榮祿大夫. In Zhōngtǒng 中統 1 (1260) he was sent as ambassador to Sòng to negotiate, but was detained by Jiǎ Sìdào 賈似道 at Yízhēn 儀真 for sixteen years (1260–1275). During this enforced captivity at the Sòng envoy lodgings, with his book-officer Gǒu Zōngdào 苟宗道 (see 苟宗道) at his side, Hǎo Jīng composed seven works including the Xù HòuHànshū 續後漢書 (KR2d0013, 90 juǎn — distinct from Xiāo Cháng’s same-titled work, KR2d0012) and the bulk of his Língchuān jí 陵川集. He also conducted, from his cell, the most comprehensive Yuán-period intellectual programme on ZhūXī classicism. He was finally released in 1275, returned briefly to the Yuán court, and died shortly after at Beizhou. His biography is in Yuánshǐ 157. CBDB id 29510, lifedates 1223–1275 (confirmed). Hǎo Jīng’s stance on Hàn legitimacy in the Sānguó — recognising ShǔHàn as legitimate, demoting Wèi and Wú — places him in the ZhūXī line, but with a vivid biographical experience (his own captivity for the cause of his ruler) that the Sìkù tíyào sees as the source of the work’s particular emotional weight.
