About the author

Yang Yun: public information is limited, and all that is currently known is that six of the author's works are included in the Wanjuanlou Chinese Classics series. Judging from the selected titles, the focus of this work lies in making classic texts accessible and in organizing traditional culture, covering pre-Qin thinkers such as Han Feizi, poetic classics such as the Book of Songs and the graceful ci, as well as a thematic study of cultural transformation and literary change in the Han dynasty. The books edited here are mostly issued in collector's and upgraded editions, balancing the presentation of original texts with reading experience and serving general readers who wish to approach Chinese classics; The Cultural Transformation and Literary Change in the Han Dynasty, by contrast, shows an academic concern, examining literary development in connection with its cultural context. Overall, Yang Yun's writings span philosophy, poetry, and cultural history, combining popularization with scholarly discussion and offering readers relatively reliable anthologies and references for entering the classical world.
