Chén Yǔyì 陳與義 (1090–1138), zì Qùfēi 去非, hào Jiǎnzhāi 簡齋, native of Luòyáng 洛陽 (with ancestral seat in Méizhōu 眉州). Shàngshè jiǎkē 上舍甲科 graduate of Zhènghé 3 (1113); under Gāozōng he reached Cānzhī zhèngshì 參知政事 (Vice Grand Councillor). His record is in Sòng shǐ j. 445.
Chén is the most consequential post-1127 poet of the Jiāngxī 江西 school, ranked by Fāng Huí 方回 in the Yíngkuí lǜsuǐ 瀛奎律髓 KR4h0007 as one of the yīzǔ sānzōng 一祖三宗 (“one ancestor, three patriarchs”) canon — Dù Fǔ as ancestor; Huáng Tíngjiān 黃庭堅, Chén Shīdào 陳師道, and Chén Yǔyì as the three patriarchs. He came-to-imperial-attention through his Mò méi shī 墨梅詩 (Ink-Plum poem) under Huīzōng, and again under Gāozōng for the line kèzǐ guāngyīn shījuàn lǐ; xìnghuā xiāoxī yǔ shēng zhōng 客子光陰詩巻裏，杏花消息雨聲中. His best work, however, is generally agreed to be the displacement-and-flight poetry from the Jīngkāng / Jiànyán transition (1127ff.) — when, fleeing the Jīn invasion via Húběi and Húnán, he produced verse of gǎnshí fǔshì kāngkǎi jīyuè (responsive to the times, vehement and emotional) quality. The standard external evaluations are Liú Kèzhuāng’s 劉克莊 Hòucūn shīhuà and the tomb-inscription by his cousin’s son Zhāng Niè 張嵲. CBDB has the lifedates approximately but not precisely; CBDB id 8004.
His collected works survive as Jiǎnzhāi jí 簡齋集 KR4d0153 (16 juǎn, WYG); the SBCK transmits an enriched annotated version Zēngguǎng jiānzhù Jiǎnzhāi shījí KR4d0154 (30 juǎn, with notes by the Sòng scholar Hú Zhì 胡稺) and a Jiǎnzhāi shī wàijí KR4d0155 (1 juǎn) of pieces excluded from the main collection.
