Editorial Board

"Editorial Board" (Bianweihui) is the short form of "editorial committee." It is not a specific individual but a collective institutional byline established for the compilation of a work, textbook, journal, or book series, usually consisting of a chief editor, associate editors, and several board members, most of them experts and scholars in the relevant field. It is responsible for setting compilation policy, style, and selection scope, and for reviewing manuscripts; the members differ from book to book. The library holds 351 works under this byline, spanning a wide range of subjects, including general biography, essays and miscellaneous writings, language and writing, examinations, and classic works. Representative titles include The Complete Works of the Eight Great Prose Masters of Tang and Song, Sherlock Holmes, The Voyages of Sinbad, several selections of world essays, and biographical readers. Most are popular compilations and anthologies for general readers, emphasizing the classic quality and readability of the selected material. As this is a collective byline, no personal biography can be traced, and public information is limited.
