Promoted to Tóngchuān cáo; the salt-and-wine xūé (false-quotas) had-long been the people’s-affliction; petitioned the court to remit the Sìchuān yǐn of 470,000.
Yú Yǔnwén 虞允文 wrote-letter to him: bùwèi qiángyù; sījì sīmín; tǐngrán zhī cāo, wèijiàn jìnbǐ (not-fearing the strong; thinking-to-aid the masses; resolutely-upright in conduct; not-yet-seen in recent-times). Late retired with Cháoqǐng dàfū. Loved his Dōnghú villa where he built the Míngxiù pavilion. His prose-collection in 10 juǎn recorded by Gǔ Luó zhì; the present Sìkù version is 2 juǎn of poetry only.
CBDB has no clearly-matching entry. The Sìkù editors of KR4d0199 reconstruct the biography from Gǔ Luó zhì (= 古羅志, Old Luó = Luózhōu old gazetteer) and the Wànxìng tōngpǔ (Líng Dízhī’s surname-genealogy).
