Bai Ien was the seventh head of the [[Bai family]] of the [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|scholar-aristocracy]] of [[Naha]].

He served as ''gohyôgu atai hissha'' (secretary of equipping soldiers) from [[1856]] to [[1858]], and was then appointed ''ukaiya mui'', a post within the ''[[zaiban bugyo|zaiban bugyôsho]]'' (office of the [[Satsuma han]] resident officials in [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]]), in 1858. Later that same year, his father [[Bai Iki]] died, and Ien inherited his position as ''[[jito (Ryukyu)|jitô]]'' of [[Henoko]] in Kushi ''[[magiri]]'', and title of Takasato ''peechin''. Ien was later named ''jitô'' of Fukuji in Kyan ''magiri'', with the title of Fukuji ''peechin''.

Ien was named ''satôza ôyako'' (deputy head of the Sugar Guild) in [[1862]], and also served for a time as head of the [[Omonogusuku]], the highest position a Naha scholar-bureaucrat could aspire to.

He had three sons (Bai Ikyô 貝唯恭, [[Bai Izen]] 貝唯善, and Bai Iga 貝唯賀) and two daughters (Umitû 貝思戸 and Magami 真亀); his second son, Bai Izen, succeeded him as head of the family.
