Late-Yuán Wùzhōu 婺州 (modern central Zhèjiāng) literatus and Neo-Confucian scholar of Yìwū 義烏. Style-name Déyuán 德原; called Qīngcūn 青村 after the place where he taught. Originally surnamed Liú 劉; the family changed to Jīn under the WǔYuè kingdom of the Five Dynasties to avoid the taboo on Qián Liú’s 錢鏐 personal name. Jīn was a student of Xǔ Qiān 許謙 (the Báiyún xiānsheng, last of the four major Jīnhuá Neo-Confucians of the Yuán) and subsequently studied with Huáng Jìn 黃溍; Sòng Lián 宋濂 and Wáng Wěi 王禕 were his fellow students. He repeatedly declined Yuán recommendation and remained a private teacher at Qīngcūn. His original literary collection of 40 juǎn was already lost by the early Míng; what survives is a brief one-juǎn recension assembled by his sixth- and seventh-generation descendants Jīn Kuí 魁 and Jīn Jiāng 江, transmitted as Qīngcūn yígǎo 青村遺稿 (KR4d0556).
