[Song-Yuan Listserv] Literary scholar in need of historical assistance

[Shinno, Reiko]

I thought about Yan Shi, too, when I read Michael's question.  The following article might be helpful.

Abe Takeo °²²¿½¡·ò. ¡°Gensho chishikijin to kakyo Ôª³õÖª×RÈˤȿƒ¤.¡± In his Gendaishi no kenky¨± Ôª´úÊ·¤ÎÑо¿, Tokyo: S¨­bunsha, 1972.

I think it should refer to the office of Yan Shi's family in Shandong,
which was
among the most powerful warlords (or Chinese Hereditary Lord hÈËÊÀºî)in
north China in the Mongol State and early Yuan. During the Jin Yuan
transition,
many formal Jin literati received protection from Yan Shi and worked in his
office. Yan Shi and his successors were often addressed as –|ÖTºî in
contemporary sources because his ruled territory was in Shandong. Yuan Haowen
maintained close connection to the Yan family, and wrote an epitaph for Yan
Shi.
