Qián Yuèyǒu 潛說友 (1216–1277), zì Jūngāo 君高, hào Chìbìzǐ 赤壁子, native of Jìnyún 縉雲 in Chùzhōu 處州 (modern Lìshuǐ 麗水, Zhèjiāng). Jìnshì of Chúnyòu 4 (jiǎchén = 1244) of the Southern Sòng. He rose through fiscal-administrative offices and in Xiánchún 6 (1270) held the offices Zhōngfèng dàfū quán Hùbù shàngshū zhī Lín’ān jūnfǔ shì with concurrent commissions in pacification, military oversight of the xíngzài environs, and superintendence of the Liquor Office (shànjūn jīshǎng jiǔkùsuǒ); he was enfeoffed Jìnyúnxiàn kāiguónán 縉雲縣開國男 with a 300-household allowance. As prefect of Lín’ān during the Xiánchún reign he commissioned and authored the Xiánchún Lín’ān zhì (KR2k0022), the largest extant Southern Sòng prefectural gazetteer; his preface to the work is dated 1270. Politically he aligned himself with the chief councillor Jiǎ Sìdào 賈似道; after a fall from favour over a misappropriation of Jiǎ’s private grain he was reassigned to Píngjiāngfǔ 平江府 (Sūzhōu) in 1274. When the Yuán armies arrived in 1275 he abandoned Píngjiāng without resisting, fled south, and after the Sòng collapse surrendered to the Yuán in Fúzhōu, accepting their commission as xuānfǔshǐ 宣撫使. The army-grain supply broke down under his administration; his subordinate Wáng Jīwēng 王積翁 incited the troops against him, and Yuèyǒu was killed by Lǐ Xióng 李雄 in 1277. The Sìkù tíyào writes that “the man himself is not worth speaking of, but his book has order.” CBDB: 16202.
