Lǐ Rìhuá 李日華 (1565–1635), zì Jūnshí 君實, hào Jiǔyí 九疑 and Zhúlǎn 竹懶. Native of Jiāxīng 嘉興, Zhèjiāng. Jìnshì of Wànlì 20 / rénchén (1592), although some sources place him in the 1589 cohort. Held office through provincial administration and reached Tàipúsì shǎoqīng (Vice Court-Master of the Imperial Stud) before retiring to Jiāxīng. One of the leading late-Míng connoisseurs and art collectors, his studio name Liùyán zhāi 六研齋 (“Studio of Six Inkstones”) gives the title to his principal bǐjì, the Liùyánzhāi bǐjì 六研齋筆記 (KR3j0159) in three series of 4 juàn each. His daily journal, the Wèishuǐ xuān rìjì 味水軒日記, covers his connoisseurship activities from 1609 to 1616 and is one of the most extensively documented Míng connoisseurship records. Also wrote the Zhúlǎn huàshèng 竹懶畫賸 (painting notes) and the Tiánzǐ jí 恬致集 (collected literary works). Closely associated in Jiāxīng’s late-Míng cultural network with 董其昌 (Dǒng Qíchāng) and the broader literati art world. Treated extensively in modern scholarship on late-Míng connoisseurship (Craig Clunas, Superfluous Things; Jonathan Hay, Sensuous Surfaces).
