Chén Yán 陳巖 (lifedates partial — death year 1299; conventional birth c. 1240, with no firm record), zì Qīngyǐn 清隱, self-styled Jiǔhuá shānrén 九華山人 (“Mountain Man of the Nine Petals”), native of Qīngyáng 青陽 in Chízhōu 池州 (modern Ānhuī). Broadly learned and politically ambitious in his youth; he repeatedly tested for the jìnshì in the late Sòng and never passed. When the Sòng fell in 1276 he refused all Yuán recruitment — when Yuán Shìzǔ summoned recluses, he traveled the lakes and rivers to avoid the call — and finally settled at Gāoyánghé 高陽河 in his native Qīngyáng, in a residence with chambers named Xīshān Dìyī Lóu, Línqīng Chí, Jìngguān, and Yànjū. Visited every notable site of the Jiǔhuá Shān 九華山, composing one quatrain per site, and arranged the 210 resulting pieces as the Jiǔhuá shī jí KR4d0411. Also compiled the Fèngsuǐ jí of Dù Fǔ’s poetry (now lost). Died Dàdé 3 (1299). His fellow-villager Fāng Shífā 方時發 cut his poetry in 1308. CBDB person 47681.
