Yuán-dynasty poet of Yuèzhōu Píngjiāng 岳州平江 (modern northeast Húnán). Given name Chénglóng 乘龍 (used the courtesy-name 天游 in life); sobriquets Sōngzhú zhǔrén 松竹主人 and Àoxuān 傲軒. He lived through the disorders of the late Yuán, refusing service and remaining in retirement. According to a zhuàn (biographical sketch) by his fellow-townsman Ài Kē 艾科, had Hú lived to encounter the Míng Tàizǔ he would have stood beside Liú Jī 劉基 and Sòng Lián 宋濂. He died at the end of the Shùndì reign (i.e. before 1368). His extant Àoxuān yíngǎo 傲軒吟稿 (KR4d0549) is reportedly only about one-tenth of his original output, the rest lost to military disorder.
There is a separate Qīng-dynasty poet of the same name (Hú Tiānyóu 胡天游, 1696–1758) of Shānyīn — a noted poet of the Qiánlóng-era Shānyīn pài — who is not the subject of this note (CBDB id 30648).
