Zhào Lìngzhì 趙令畤 (1061–1134), zì Délín 德麟. Sòng imperial clansman: great-great-grandson of Yānwáng Zhào Dézhāo 趙德昭 (929–979), the eldest son of Sòng Tàizǔ, whose line was bypassed in the Tàizōng succession but retained imperial-clan status. CBDB id 24925 records the lifedates 1061–1134.
Under Yuányòu (1086–93) he held qiānshū Yǐngzhōu gōngshì in the prefecture where Sū Shì was then governing, and the two formed a close literary friendship: Sū Shì wrote cí on Zhào, and Zhào was a major addressee of Sū’s later Yǐngzhōu poetry. For this association, in the Shàoshèng (1094 onwards) reversal Zhào was fined and entered the Yuányòu dǎngjí (faction-blacklist), suffering political disability through the Chóngníng — late Xuānhé period.
In Jiànyán (1127 onwards) he was rehabilitated; in early Shàoxīng (1130s) he succeeded to enfeoffment as Āndìng jùnwáng 安定郡王 and held tóng zhī xíngzài Dàzōngzhèng shì 同知行在大宗正事 (Assistant Director of the Imperial Clan Court at the temporary capital). The Sìkù compilers note his later attachment to the eunuch Tán Zhěn 譚稹 in the late-Xuānhé — early-Jiànyán court as a moral lapse — the Yuányòu faction tradition viewed this as a betrayal of the qīngyì (pure-discourse) values Zhào had previously embodied.
His one surviving substantive work is the KR3l0047 Hóuqīng lù 侯鯖錄 in 8 juàn, a bǐjì / shīhuà compilation, of which juàn 5 contains the Yīngyīng gōngshàng diào 鶯鶯宮商調 — a re-narration of Yuán Zhěn’s Yīngyīng zhuàn in alternating prose-and-cí form that is the foundational text of the SòngYuán Xīxiāng jì literary tradition.
