Li Rihua (1565–1635) was a Chinese bureaucrat, artist and art critic from Jiaxing, during the late
Ming Dynasty. He wrote an extensive diary, the
Weishuixuan riji (Water-Tasting Gallery Diary), from 1609 to 1616, which detailed his many acquisitions as an art collector. The diary is so named because Li had a reputation as a connoisseur of tea, and was particularly skilled at selecting the best water with which to brew it. For a time, he was married to the courtesan Xue Susu, and wrote colophons for several of her paintings.

生平
李日華生于明世宗嘉靖四十四年（1565年），幼時聰敏，其父「口授以《大學》，率能成誦」，萬曆七年（1579年）參加已卯科鄉試，為文放縱不羈，當時主考官郝敬賞識其才，錄取為第二十五名，稱：「天下那得如此好秀才。」萬曆二十年（1592年）中三甲二十二名進士，任九江府推官、西華知縣。官至太僕少卿。歸隱後，以著述、鑑藏自娛。《明史·文苑傳》稱其「恬澹和易，與物無忤。」，崇禎八年（1635年）卒。
成就
精鑑藏，世稱「博雅君子」。擅繪畫，繪《宿遷水溢圖》軸。又有《恬致堂集》、《檇李叢談》、《書畫想象錄》、《紫桃軒雜綴》、《味水軒日記》、《六硯齋筆記》、《梅墟先生別錄》、《恬致堂詩話》等書，錢謙益在《恬致堂集》作《序》稱：「文章者，天地英淑之氣與人之靈心結習而成者也。與山水近，與市朝遠；與異石古木哀吟清唳近，與塵壒遠；與鐘鼎彞器法書名畫近，與時俗玩好遠。故風流儒雅、博物好古之人，文章往往殊邈于世，其結習使然也。」。後人稱李日華有「兩多」，著作多、別號多。
