Jiāng Kuí (Chinese: 姜夔) (c. 1155 Poyang – c. 1221 Hangzhou), courtesy name Yaozhang (堯章), Art name Baishi Daoren (白石道人).
He composed numerous poems, including the famous "He Bei Lai" and the more well known "San Wan Yue."
His family was of mediocre social status and Kui himself did not obtain any post in the government throughout his life.
Jiang Kui moved to Huzhou from Poyang before finally settling down in Hangzhou where he died.
[4] In the eyes of 13th century artist and art theorist Chen Yu, the poetry of Jiang Kui is marked by his candidness(as a lack of overly ink-horn words) and originality.
