Qiu Yue is the author of A Brief Compendium of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Dianlue). Publicly available information about his life is limited: his nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not clearly recorded. The library holds only one work by him, A Brief Compendium of the Three Kingdoms, commonly classified under literary appreciation. This suggests that Qiu Yue's writing is closely tied to the history and anecdotes of the Three Kingdoms period, with a clear orientation toward literary appreciation and a focus on reading historical events and their wording. The title indicates that the author may have organized key events and allusions of the period in a "brief compendium" manner, combining historical narrative with literary evaluation. Because relevant materials are scarce, a full account of his life and work is difficult; readers may instead approach the text of A Brief Compendium of the Three Kingdoms to appreciate its selection of material and narrative style, and thereby grasp Qiu Yue's focus and expressive manner in writing on Three Kingdoms themes.
