俞达

Public information about Yu Da is limited: his dates of birth and death, nationality, and English name are unknown. All that is currently known is that five works are listed under his name in the library, commonly classified under time-travel/alternate-world fiction, classical literature, and social novels. His representative works include the twelve-volume collection Chinese Classical Romance Novels: Yingyun Meng Zhuan, Qinglou Meng, Huatu Yuan, Ding Qingren and Others, as well as several individual volumes of Qinglou Meng. These works show that Yu Da's writing and editorial focus centers on classical Chinese romance fiction, especially Qinglou Meng, dealing with the scholar-beauty theme and the manners of worldly life. His collections bring together multiple classical romance works in one set, facilitating concentrated reading and comparison and offering some reference value for the organization and dissemination of classical romance fiction.
