Móu Xiàn 牟巘 (1227–1311), zì Xiànzhī 獻之 (also given as Xiànfǔ 獻甫), hào Língyáng 陵陽, was a late-Sòng jìnshì and one of the best-remembered Sòng-loyalist refusers (yímín 遺民) of the Yuán transition. He was the son of Móu Zǐcái 牟子才, an upright Lǐzōng-era Vice-Censor and Minister of Rites; the family had originated in Jǐngyán 井研 in Shǔ but Zǐcái had registered the household at Húzhōu 湖州, which became the seat of Móu Xiàn’s adult career.
Móu Xiàn passed the jìnshì examination and rose under the late Sòng to be Vice-Director of the Court of Judicial Review (大理少卿). After the surrender of Línʼān in 1276 he resolutely refused all Yuán solicitations and lived behind closed doors in Húzhōu for a celebrated thirty-six years — a span that became one of the standard models of yímín conduct in later historiography. He died in Zhìdà 至大 4 (1311) at age 85.
Within his confinement, Móu became the senior figure of the Húzhōu yímín literary network, exchanging poems and prose with Dài Biǎoyuán 戴表元, Zhào Mèngfǔ 趙孟頫 (with whom relations were courteous despite Zhào’s Yuán service), Mǎ Zhīyuán 馬致遠 in the literary background, and his own grandchildren. His prose makes deliberate use of Yuán Zhìyuán era-names paired with thematic invocations of Táo Yuānmíng’s refusal of LiúSòng era-markings — a complex self-positioning often discussed in late-Sòng yímín studies. His writings are gathered in the twenty-four-juàn Móushì Língyáng jí 牟氏陵陽集 KR4d0389, compiled and printed posthumously by his grandson Móu Yìngfù 牟應復 c. 1331 with a preface by Chéng Duānxué 程端學. Wáng Shìzhēn’s judgment, that Móu’s verse carries something of the SūHuáng manner and his prose is diǎnshí xiángyǎ, has remained standard. CBDB id 20743 confirms 1227–1311.
