Late-Yuán / early-Míng jǔrén and loyalist literatus of Áochéng 敖城 (Yǒngxīn 永新, Lúlíng region, Jiāngxī). Style-name originally Zǐshàng 子尚, later changed to Zǐràng 子讓**; sobriquet Línyuán 麟原 (“Unicorn-Plain”). He passed the Yuán provincial jīngkuí (top in the jīng category), and served in the Mobile Secretariat staff assisting the Yuán general Quán Pǔān 全普菴 in the pacification of JiāngHú; later assisted the Shūmùrǔ (Sambukha) general’s headquarters in the WúYuè theater. With his ambition unrealized he retired and lived in the Áochéng / Yǒngxīn hill country. After the Yuán fell he refused all Míng summons — including as kǎoguān and xiāngyǐnbīn — and lived as a recluse and Confucian teacher. He produced his own important anthology Tiāndì jiān jí 天地間集 — a borrowing of the title from Xiè Áo 謝翱’s earlier Sòng-loyalist anthology of that name — selecting the verse of his contemporaries to express the loyalist sense (now lost). His Línchuān friend Wáng Tóngjié 王同節 (later dàlǐ sì qīng) and his great-nephew Wáng Qiān 王謙 had his collection Línyuán wénjí 麟原文集 (KR4d0577) printed; the two original prefaces are by Liú Dìngzhī 劉定之 (Yǒngxīn, Hànlín xuéshì) and Lǐ Qí 李祁 (KR4d0571) of Yúnyáng — the latter dated yǐsì (Hóngwǔ 8 or some later cyclical yǐsì).
