About the author

Zhou Muqiao is an author about whom little public information is available; all that is currently known is that 44 works are recorded under this name, commonly classified under art. Judging from representative titles such as Mr. Liyuan, Immortal Companions in the Same Boat, New Methods of Sailing, The Famous Beauty of Green Snow, A Heroine Among Women, A Stubborn Nature, Good Things Come with Trouble, and Flying Dragon in the Sky, the subjects often involve opera figures, immortal companions boating, female characters, and stories of worldly affairs. The titles tend to carry the flavor of traditional fiction and opera, combining narrative with artistic portrayal. Since basic details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, and English name are not recorded, biographical particulars are difficult to verify, but the number and classification of the works suggest that the author was a diligent writer of popular art-related material with considerable breadth of subject and readability.
