Late-Yuán jūnfǔ cānmóu (military staff officer) and poet of Lúlíng 廬陵 (Jízhōu / Jí’ān, Jiāngxī). Style-name Guāngbì 光弼; sobriquets Yīxiào jūshì 一笑居士 (“One-Laugh Gentleman”) and the later Kěxián lǎorén 可閒老人 (“Old Man Who Can Be At Ease” — granted by the Míng Tàizǔ on his audience). He served as cānmóu jūnfǔ of the Zuǒchéng Yáng Wàngzhālè 楊旺扎勒 (the Sìkù corrects from the earlier Yáng Wánzhě 楊完者 reading — the Mongol-name normalization), the Yuán pacifier of Zhèjiāng; rose to Zuǒyòu sī yuánwàiláng and Xíng shūmì yuàn pànguān. In the late Yuán he abandoned office. When Zhāng Shìchéng 張士誠 invited him with rites he refused. After the Míng founding, the Míng Tàizǔ summoned him to court for audience; pitying his age, the emperor said “Kě xián” (“You may take ease”) and dismissed him with generous gifts. Zhāng then changed his sobriquet to Kěxián lǎorén and lived out his life wandering the West-Zhèjiāng hills and lakes. He died at 83 (1371 from CBDB).
His learning was from Yú Jí 虞集 (Wénjìng); Zhāng Zhù 張翥 (Lúgōng) recognized him early. He associated with Zhōu Bówēn 周伯温 and Yáng Liánfū 楊維楨 (Liánfū = KR4d0585). His Kěxián lǎorén jí 可閒老人集 (KR4d0592) and Zhāng Guāngbì shī jí 張光弼詩集 (KR4d0593) — the SBCK version which preserves part of the same corpus under his style-name — both come down. The collection was nearly lost until Yáng Shìqí 楊士奇 (the early-Míng grand secretary) recovered fragments from the gěishìzhōng Xià Shí 夏時 and arranged the Zhèngtǒng 1 (1436) print through Zhāng Yù’s wàisūn (daughter’s son) Shí Chāng 時昌, then Fúliáng xiàn chéng.
