Late-Míng scholar-official, bibliophile, and the principal late-Míng compiler of the Táng poetic corpus; native of Hǎiyán 海鹽 (modern Jiāxìng 嘉興 prefecture, Zhèjiāng). Zì Xiàoyuán 孝轅; hào Dùnsǒu 遯叟, Chìchéngshānrén 赤城山人. Jǔrén of Wànlì 5 (1577, dīngchǒu); held office as Magistrate of Dìngzhōu 定州 (in modern Héběi), rising to Vice Director (員外郎) in the Ministry of War. Famed in late-Míng Jiāxìng literary circles for his library and antiquarian taste. His magnum opus is the Tángyīn tǒngqiān 唐音統籤, a ten-set monumental Táng-poetry compendium (its “qiān” labels are the ten Heavenly Stems 甲 to 癸); only the jiǎ and wù sets were printed in Hú’s lifetime, the remaining sets surviving in manuscript and gradually issued from the Kāngxī era onward. The tenth set, the Tángyīn guǐ qiān (this Sìkù entry), was first printed in 1718 from a manuscript acquired by a Jiāngníng (Nanking) bookshop. Hú’s Tángyīn tǒngqiān directly anticipated the imperial Quán Táng shī 全唐詩 (KR4h0246) of 1707, which incorporated much of his material. Lifedates 1569–1644 follow the catalog meta and the standard biographical record; CBDB (personid 30629) records only an index year of 1570, consistent with this bracket. He is the central figure of late-Míng Táng-poetry scholarship.
