Biography

李献能,河中人。
金史卷一百二十六 列传第六十四:
  李献能,字钦叔,河中人。先世有为金吾卫上将军者,时号“李金吾家”。迨献能昆弟皆以文学名,从兄献卿、献诚、从弟献甫相继擢第,故李氏有“四桂堂”。
  献能苦学博览,于文尤长于四六。贞祐三年,特赐词赋进士,廷试第一人,宏词优等。授应奉翰林文字。在翰苑凡十年,出为鄜州观察判官。用荐者复为应奉,俄迁修撰。正大末,以镇南军节度副使充河中帅府经历官。大元兵破河中,奔陕州,行省以权左右司郎中,值赵三三军变遇害,年四十三。
  献能为人眇小而黑色,颇有髯。善谈论,每敷说今古,声铿亮可听。作诗有志于风雅,又刻意乐章。在翰院,应机敏捷号得体。赵秉文、李纯甫尝曰:“李献能天生今世翰苑材。”故每荐之,不令出馆。家故饶财,尽于贞祐之乱,在京师无以自资。其母素豪奢,厚于自奉,小不如意则必诃谴,人视之殆不堪忧,献能处之自若也。时人以纯孝称之。尝谓人云:“吾幼梦官至五品,寿不至五十。”后竟如其言。
