Ji Yun (simplified Chinese: 纪昀; traditional Chinese: 紀昀; pinyin: Jǐ Yún;[1] 1724–1805), also known as Ji Xiaolan (simplified Chinese: 纪晓岚; traditional Chinese: 紀曉嵐; pinyin: Jǐ Xiǎolán) or Ji Chunfan (Chinese: 紀春帆; pinyin: Jǐ Chūnfān) was a Chinese philosopher, politician, and writer. He was an influential scholar of Qing dynasty China and many anecdotes have been recorded about him. Ji Yun left behind a book entitled Notes of the Thatched Abode of Close Observations (閱微草堂筆記)[2] and another book named Wenda Gong Yiji (紀文達公遺集; "Collected Works of Lord Wenda", i.e. Ji Xiaolan), which was edited by later generations. He was often mentioned with Yuan Mei as the "Nan Yuan Bei Ji" (Chinese: 南袁北紀; lit. 'Yuan of the south and Ji of the north').[3]

However, the character, when used to mean 'records; annals' has been read as (Mandarin Tone 4) since the 20th century, with (Mandarin Tone 3) given as an obsolete literary reading. As a surname, the old reading continues to be used.
