He Jingming - Kaimei

A Chinese poet of the mid-Ming Dynasty. His pen name was Zhongmo. His pen name was Dafu. He was from Xinyang (Henan Province). He was a Jinshi in 1502. He served as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Deputy Ambassador to Shaanxi. He was a leading figure along with Li Mengyang and was called Li He, but later they were opposed, with Mengyang advocating imitation and Jingming advocating creativity. His poems are somewhat lacking in style, but he has a gentle poetic imagination and flexible expression. His long poem in the seven-character ancient style, "Ming Yue Hen," is famous as a masterpiece, along with a preface that shows his insight into poetry. He has written "He Dafu Ji." His biography is recorded in the "Ming History," Wenyuan Biography2.

中国、明(みん)中期の詩人。字(あざな)は仲黙(ちゅうもく)。号は大復(たいふく)。信陽（河南省）の人。1502年の進士。中書舎人、陝西(せんせい)提学副使などを歴任した。復古主義を唱えた前七子(ぜんしちし)のなかでは、李夢陽(りぼうよう)とともに指導的立場にあり、李何と並称されたが、のち夢陽は模擬を、景明は創造を主張して対立した。詩は格調にやや乏しいが、穏和な詩想と柔軟な表現をもち、七言古体の長詩「明月篇(へん)」は、詩への見識を示す序文とともに、傑作として名高い。『何大復集』がある。伝は『明史』文苑伝(ぶんえんでん)2に記される。
