*''Born: [[1805]]''
*''Died: [[1885]]''
*''Chinese'': [[林]] 鴻年 ''(Lín Hóngnián)''
Lín Hóngnián was a [[Qing Dynasty]] scholar-official, who served as the head of a [[Chinese investiture mission]] to the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] in [[1838]], for the investiture of King [[Sho Iku|Shô Iku]].
His vice-envoy on the 1838 mission to Ryûkyû was [[Gao Renjian]]. While visiting the Ryukyuan royal villa at [[Shikinaen]], Lin gifted King Shô Iku a stone stele reading ''gān lǐ yán líng'' (甘醴延齢, "sweet saké, long life"), and a work of eight lines of calligraphy on paper. This work of calligraphy later came into the collection of [[Sho Masako|Shô Masako]], the sixth daughter of King [[Sho Tai|Shô Tai]], who donated it to the Ryukyuan Museum during the postwar Occupation period; it remains in the collection of the Okinawa Prefectural Museum today.
