Life

Huo Yuxia was the second son of 霍韜 (1487–1540), great-grandson of 霍厚 and grandson of 霍華[7]. His elder brother was 霍與球; his younger brothers were 霍與珉, 霍與琦, 霍與瓔, 霍與璒, and 霍與瑺[8]. His birth mother was 呂氏, 區氏 was his principal mother, 鄭氏 his stepmother, and his wife was 甘氏.[9]

In 1559, the thirty-eighth year of the Jiajing era, he entered the jinshi ranks, placing 101st in the third class and being classified as a tong jinshi[10]; he had ranked ninth in the Guangdong provincial examination[11]. His first appointment was as magistrate of Cixi County in Zhejiang[12]. Alongside Hai Rui, he was acclaimed in Zhejiang as one of the “Two Incorrupt Officials.”[13]

Accounts differ over his dismissal: one says that, when Yan Maoqing toured the salt administration, Huo refused him the customary courtesies and was impeached and dismissed; another attributes it to pressure from censor Yuan Chun, after which he withdrew to Xiqiao.[14] At the beginning of Longqing, court ministers recommended him for renewed service, and he returned to office.[15]

By Longqing 2 (1568) he was magistrate of Yin[16]; in Longqing 4 (1570) he became a qianshi in the Guangxi Provincial Surveillance Commission[17]. He also served as 兵部職方司員外郎 and assistant director of the Nanjing Court of the Imperial Studs[18]; in Wanli 3 (1575), he was a qianshi in Jiangxi[19]. Accounts also differ over the endpoint of his career: one ends it with a Guangxi qianshi, while another describes service as the Jiangxi salt censor; the reason for leaving office is likewise given either as a disagreement with censor Zhang Jian that led to dismissal and a return home, or as retirement after slander.[20]

Works and correspondence

He wrote the Mianzai ji (《勉齋集》), also given as 《霍勉齋集》[21]; his poems are based on the third-year Daoguang printed edition, supplemented in the seventh year of the Xianfeng era, of volumes 2–9 of 《霍勉齋集》[22].

The correspondence associated with 《勉齋集》[23] includes letters sent to 趙貞吉, 顏鯨, 何維柏, 楊博, 曾同亨, 郭應聘, 譚綸, 翁大立, 吳桂芳, 王維楨, 徐養正, 張鹵, 陳萬言, 湛若水, 程文德, 趙焞, 潘高, 劉堯晦, and 劉經緯[24]; it also includes a letter from 湛若水 and replies to 黃正色, 袁洪愈, 郭應聘, 譚綸, 殷正茂, 李材, 王畿, 朱東光, 周之屛, and 陳紹儒[25].
