Chǔ Guāngxī 儲光羲 (706–762)
Native of Yǎnzhōu 兗州 Lǔguó (modern Yǎnzhōu, Shāndōng) per the Tángshū yìwén zhì; alternative tradition (Yīn Fán 殷璠’s Dānyáng jí 丹陽集) makes him a Yánlíng 延陵 (modern Chángzhōu 常州, Jiāngsū) man — the discrepancy is unresolved in the standard sources. Jìnshì of Kāiyuán 14 (726), the same year as Cuī Guófǔ 崔國輔 and Qímǔ Qián 綦母潛; further summoned for special promotion through a Zhōngshūshěng drafting test. Successively Tàizhù 太祝, Yǒngjiā xiàn lìng 永嘉縣令, and jiānchá yùshǐ 監察御史.
Captured at Chángān during the An Lùshān rebellion (756) and forced to take office under the rebel court at Luòyáng. After the recovery of the capital he was demoted and exiled to Língnán 嶺南; he died in obscurity ca. 762.
His original 70-juǎn literary corpus — including a 15-juǎn Zhènglùn 政論 (treatise on government) and a 20-juǎn Jiǔjīng fēnshū yì 九經分疏義 (sub-commentary on the Nine Classics) — is largely lost; only the 5-juǎn Chǔ Guāngxī shī jí KR4c0026 survives. Yīn Fán’s contemporary evaluation in Héyuè yīnglíng jí: “xuē jìn chángyán, dé Hàorán zhī qì 削盡常言得浩然之氣” — “cutting away all conventional speech, having Mèng Hàorán’s spirit.” A leading figure of the High-Táng shānshuǐ tiányuán 山水田園 school after Wáng Wéi 王維 and Mèng Hàorán 孟浩然, with a particularly pronounced Táo Qián 陶潛 inheritance.
