凌菁

Ling Jing is an author about whom little public information is available. Two works by this author are currently held in the collection, and they fall into two quite distant fields: medicine and programming design. The first is A Research Collection on Xu Dachun, which centers on the Qing dynasty physician Xu Dachun and belongs to the compilation and study of medical figures and medical-historical sources. The second is A Practical Course on the Linux Operating System, which addresses the basic operation and practical use of the operating system. Judging from this range of subjects, Ling Jing's writing spans traditional medical literature and modern computer technology: the former emphasizes the sorting of historical materials and academic discussion, while the latter emphasizes introductory teaching and hands-on practice. Stylistically, the works consist mainly of source compilations and course texts, with attention to practicality and the transmission of knowledge. Because details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, and professional background cannot be confirmed, no account of the author's personal life is given here; readers may instead form a sense of the author's areas of interest from the two works mentioned above.
