About the author

Liu Dichuan is a Chinese author known for books on culture and history. Public information about him is limited, and his nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background and personal experience are not clearly established. Three of his works are available in the collection: An Unofficial Biography of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Great Plague: Viruses, Destruction and the Struggle of Empires, and The Turtle Collection. These titles suggest that his writing centers on classical Chinese texts, mythological geography, the history of epidemics and material culture. He tends to combine textual research with narrative presentation, introducing general readers to the complex dimensions of history and culture. His subjects range widely, from the interpretation and transmission of ancient texts to the relationship between disease and imperial history. His books are both informative and readable, and should appeal to readers interested in traditional culture and historical questions.
