Lín Jié 林岊
Zì Zhòngshān 仲山. Native of Gǔtián 古田 (modern Fújiàn). Tèzòu míng 特奏名 (“special-examination presented name”) of Shàoxī 1 (1190); during the Jiādìng era (1208–24) served as prefect of Quánzhōu 全州. Lifedates not recoverable; CBDB fl. 1187–1229.
The Sòngshǐ gives him no biography. The Fújiàn tōngzhì records that he served Quánzhōu nine years with notably benevolent administration, rebuilt the Qīng-Xiāng shūyuàn 清湘書院, taught the local students there, and was enshrined by the local community in the temple of Liǔ Zōngyuán 柳宗元 (the great Táng exile-prefect of Liǔzhōu, whose cult was strong in the southern frontier). The Yígǔtáng tíbá preserves a competing identification (also given in the late-imperial Zhōngxīng guǎngé xùlù) that Lín Jié zì Zhòngshān was a Chánglè 長樂 man who passed the regular jìnshì in Chúnxī 15 (1188); the late-Qīng commentator Yú Jiāxī 余嘉錫 sets out the contradiction without resolving it.
Author of Máoshī jiǎngyì 毛詩講義 (KR1c0020) — lecture-notes from his time as Quánzhōu prefect, recorded by his pupils. Originally 5 juǎn; reorganized by the Sìkù editors into 12 juǎn on recovery from the Yǒnglè dàdiǎn.
