About the author

Xu Youfu is an author who has worked diligently in the field of classical Chinese philology. Public biographical information about him is limited, but the nine works included here show that his writing centers on the traditional scholarly approaches of bibliography, textual criticism, edition studies, and book collecting. His representative work, the four-volume Jiaochou Guangyi and its revised fascicles on collation, bibliography, editions, and collection, systematically sets out the knowledge systems of these fields, reflecting a clear, well-organized, and evidence-based scholarly style. Zhongguo Gudian Wenxue Shiliao Xue and Xueshu Lunwen Xiezuo Shijiang extend his documentary expertise to the organization of historical sources and to writing methods, combining the practicality of a textbook with scholarly rigor. He has also written a work of literary appreciation, Li Qingzhao: From the Moon over Bianliang to the Rain in Lin'an, showing that his writing is not confined to desk research but can also introduce figures and works to general readers.
