Xǔ Lún 許綸 (= Xǔ Jízhī 許及之, Sòng, d. 1209)
The Yǒnglè dàdiǎn attributes the Shèzhāi jí KR4d0246 to Xǔ Lún; the Sìkù editors propose this is an early name of the same person known to the Sòng shǐ and Jiāo Hóng’s Jīngjízhì as Xǔ Jízhī — the catalog meta also lists him as Xǔ Lún. Zì Shēnfǔ 深甫. Hào Shèzhāi 涉齋. Native of Yǒngjiā 永嘉 (Wēnzhōu, modern Zhèjiāng). Death year 1209.
Jìnshì of Lóngxīng 1 (1163). Career: rose under Guāngzōng / Níngzōng to Zōngzhèng bù (Director of the Imperial-Clan), Húbù shàngshū, and Zhī Shūmìyuàn shì (the Sòng called Shūmìshǐ “right fǔ”, hence Jiāo Hóng’s title Xǔ yòufǔ Shèzhāi jí).
His 1193 embassy to the Jin court — to congratulate the Jin sovereign on his birthday — is attested in the Sòng shǐ Níngzōng běnjì (Shàoxī 4 / 1193 6th month) and the Jīn shǐ Jiāopìnbiǎo; the embassy-poetry-cycle is preserved in full in his collection.
His distinctive literary-genealogical position: openly admired Wáng Ānshí (Dú Wáng Wéngōng shī juéjù: “Wénzhāng yǔ shì wéi shīfàn / jīngshù yú shí qǐ shìchóu”), an unusual late-Southern-Sòng position given the Lǐxué mainstream’s hostility to Wáng’s Xīnxué.
Surviving in Kanripo:
- KR4d0246 Shèzhāi jí (18 juǎn, WYG; reconstructed from the Yǒnglè dàdiǎn; reduced from the original 30-juǎn recension recorded by Jiāo Hóng).
