Hóng Zīkuí 洪咨夔 (1176–1236), zì Shùnyú 舜俞, hào Píngzhāi 平齋, native of Yúqián 於潛 (modern Línʼān 臨安, Zhèjiāng). Jìnshì of Jiātài 2 (1202). His career under Sòng Lǐzōng was punctuated by political conflict: as Examination Bureau vice-secretary (kǎogōng yuánwàiláng 考功員外郎) early in Lǐzōng’s reign he opposed Shǐ Míyuǎn 史彌遠 and warned that Lǐ Quán 李全 would prove a national menace, for which he was impeached by Lǐ Zhīxiào 李知孝 and Liáng Chéngdà 梁成大 and demoted to provincial life for seven years; that period of forced retirement is when most of his classical scholarship — including the Hóngshì Chūnqiū shuō 洪氏春秋說 — was composed. Recalled later, he rose to Duānmíng diàn xuéshì 端明殿學士. Beyond the Chūnqiū commentary, Sòng shǐ notes the now-lost Liǎng Hàn zhàolìng lǎnchāo 兩漢詔令擥抄. His collected literary works survive as Píngzhāi jí 平齋集. Biography in Sòng shǐ 宋史 j. 406. The Sìkù catalog spells the personal name 洪咨虁 (a graphic variant of 夔); CBDB and the standard histories use 夔.
