Zhang Jinjiang is an author whose work centers on folk literature. Public information about him is limited, and his biography, nationality, and dates of birth and death are not clearly recorded. Four of his works are held in the collection, all built around the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shanhai Jing): the four-volume New Tales of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Series One, along with individual volumes such as New Tales of the Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Creation Volume, The Heroes Volume, and The Curious Birds Volume. These works show him retelling the myths, strange birds, and heroic legends of the Classic of Mountains and Seas for contemporary readers. Through this "new tales" approach, he preserves the imaginative power of the ancient text while giving it fresh narrative appeal. His subject matter focuses on ancient myths and folk legends, and his style tends toward accessible retelling, suited to readers who wish to approach the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas with ease.
