Fāng Huí 方回 (1227–1307), zì Wànlǐ 萬里, hào Xūgǔ 虛谷, was a late-Sòng / early-Yuán scholar-poet and prose-stylist from Shèxiàn 歙縣 (Huīzhōu). He passed the jìnshì in Bǎoyòu 寳祐 1 (1253) and held minor posts under the late Sòng, surrendering Yánzhōu 嚴州 to the Yuán in 1276 — a controversial act for which he was later sharply criticized. Under the Yuán he served briefly in the Jiàntí office at Jiàndé but soon retired.
His enduring contributions are literary-critical. He compiled the Yíngkuí lǜsuǐ 瀛奎律髓 in 49 juàn — the most influential Yuán-period anthology of TángSòng lǜshī (regulated verse), with extensive commentaries setting out his doctrine of the “Jiāngxī school” 江西派 transmission Bǐ Mòzūn → Huáng Tíngjiān → Chén Shīdào → Chén Yǔyì — the canonical formulation of the One Patriarch Three Companions (yīzǔ sānzōng 一祖三宗) genealogy. He also wrote the Tóngjiāng xùjí 桐江續集 collected works in 36 juàn, the Tàihuá lùn 太華論, and other prose collections.
In KR2f he appears as the author of biographical-postface notes (biāojì) appended to KR2f0016 Zuǒshǐ jiàncǎo of Lǚ Wǔ — the same Huīzhōu Shèxiàn district. The Sìkù tíyào notes that “Fāng Huí calls Lǚ Wǔ’s collection Zhúpō lèigǎo” — implying Fāng was personally familiar with the now-lost full work. CBDB id 27727 (1227–1307).
