Chén Dì 陳棣 (Sòng, fl. 1144)
Zì Èfù 鄂父. Son of Chén Rǔxī 陳汝錫 (zì Shīyǔ 師予; jìnshì of Shàoxīngzhīqián Shàoshèng 4 / 1097; ended as Zhèdōng ānfǔshǐ). Birth and death years not recorded; CBDB id 3064 (no dates). The catalog meta gives “fl. 1144” — based on the single internally-dated piece in his collection (Jiǎzǐ chúxī, 1144 New Year’s Eve).
Career: by fùrèn (paternal-merit) entered office, initially as Tóngchuān yuán (functionary at Tóngchuān, in modern Sìchuān), later ending as Tōngpàn Tánzhōu (per Líng Dízhī’s Wànxìng tǒngpǔ). No Sòngshǐ biography.
His father Chén Rǔxī’s poetry — surviving line “Xián chóu mò làng qiǎn / Liú wéi tòngyǐn zī” preserved in the Kuòcāng huìjì — was appreciated by Huáng Tíngjiān 黃庭堅, placing the family-poetic genealogy in the Yuányòu / Jiāngxī school. The Sìkù editors detect in Chén Dì himself an early prefigurative mood of the late-Sòng Jiānghú school of regional-circle poetry.
