Wang Yi (librarian)

Wang Yi (Chinese: 王逸; c. 89–158 CE), courtesy name Shushi (Chinese: 叔師), was a Chinese anthologist, librarian, and poet during the Eastern Han dynasty who was employed in the Imperial Library by the Later Han emperor Shun Di (r. 125–144 CE). Wang Yi is known for his work on the poetry anthology Chu Ci. Although with varying reliability, his commentaries on this work are a main source of information regarding some of its often obscure textual references.
